My 11th Leaf
Rended thee from herb
Released from thy curb
Curative floral
Sure medicinal
“Kalamantigue”!
Our neighbor nearest
Uncle for me best
Tatay's next brother
To me godfather
Nice Dudoy Etic
This night near nine, ten
This day – eleven
This month – eleven
This year - eleven
Brown-out, full moon bright
Dudoy Etic's fence
Outside adjacence
Rare luminescence
Utter silence
Almost front gate's door
Enroll I finish
MAT English
Salingsing polish
Begin fitness wish
Saw Iglot first last!

Hello life, and welcome to my world I invite you to stay here as long as you can To do so, you must fight sickness and ignorance, just to name two. Even so, your time will come to an end.
021920PoSpCtest, Poe-Etic Verse, Charles Messina
4-lined verse. Chosen theme: Life
By nature, zetetic,
he doubted the yetic,
but xenogenetic? That just seemed absurd.
A known workaholic,
scoured feeds from Videtics,
but was unsympathetic, in a word.
At best, theoretic,
and in large part, synthetic,
only the rabietic were on board.
Tilting towards quixotic,
their fevered ravings, phrenetic,
though onomatopoetic,
eschewed the noetic, impaled themselves on truth’s sword.
A parrot’s mimetic,
much like Loch Ness limnetics,
ignored body kinetics,
claimed pre-Japhetic disperse.
Yet still more idiotic,
seizing the hypothetic,
their case for genetics made worse!
But like all true fanatics,
the more so, emphatic,
they're left with a docetic sasquatch.
Finding all copasetic,
they get rather bathetic
when antithetic folk question their watch!
----------
So, the original goal was a monorhyme using the '-etic' ending.
Then, I realized I might be able to use one on every line, from Z..A,
but I made a few concessions along the way, departing from '-etic' a few times.
And I added a little rhyme, using the '-etic' words within the lines...
And if the storyline is a little thin, don't wreck my aesthetic...
zetetic - skeptical, proceeding by inquiry
yetic - pertaining to all things Yeti :-)
Videtics is a real company that does AI analysis of video feeds
rabietic - relating to rabies
limnetics - pertaining to the deeper, open waters of a lake
Japhetic - pertaining to one of Noah's sons, so, basically, antediluvian
docetic - an early heresy suggesting only a spiritual body
bathetic - effusively emotional

My 39th Leaf
Obtained thee from branch
Broken from its trunk
Fallen on the land
From a sturdy tree
“Indian Mango” leaf!
Owned by our neighbor
Gabo family
Doministo too
I'm with our neighbors
Watching vestiges
At three-thirty five
Of dark afternoon
Just after the storm
Weaker winds blowing
Fewer rains dropping
In front of the house
Of Dudoy Etic
Other side road
On way to river
From a branch fallen
Great devastation
Brought by a typhoon
A super typhoon
Labelled “Yolanda”
Marked in history!

Through misty darkness, like wanton dreams,
are voices in the seasons…
Foreboding words of reason's self,
are heard while I am sleeping
Forbidden shadows hover 'round,
keeping secrets, buried long
Stirring up those restless ghosts
gray and black, with spirits, blithe,
to host the pitch of night
The hand that sweeps the locks away
is the one I cannot feel
The eyes that feast upon my face
erases what is real
Those echoed voices mingle
in corners dark as umber
And all the words I've never known
have climbed into my slumber
