Monocrostic (Birthday of Rose Dale R. Antiporta)
So they've upped my medication
From 10 mg to 20 mg
It's the stuff that's supposed to make... mm... mel... low
I almos... uh... almo... almost nodded... offfff!
Don't think it's strong enough yet... thhh...ough!
Hopefully I'll soon start writing about fairies and pretty flowers
Instead of demons and evil monsters
Some of my best friends are fairies
Hang on... the ones with wings like Tinker Bell
We go skipping through the meadow with gay abandon
Now there you go misunderstanding me again
Well, getting back to my medication
Sometimes it makes me so mellow
I tend to try to stuff my pea soup in my ear hole
Not a good idea... especially in a restaurant
Mothers grab their wee kiddies
Cover their eyes while quickly moving to a different table
I mean no harm... I love everybody
In the whole great big entire world

Forgiveness sometimes takes some time
One may not want to make up with a rhyme
Rough words said can cut like a sharp knife
Giving way to unforgiveness that can ruin a life
I say we should not bring pain but always bring love
Very often we react out of hurt and unlove
Even when the other person did not mean it
Now we need to say sorry but how will it fit
Everyone is different some can play dense
Sorry is a huge word and can make some very tense
Saying I love you can mend the friendship fence

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Biological motivations vitiate.
Episodic bursts discharge it’s your opinion.
Alternate spells imply.
Unexpected whirls scatter.
Tall lilies beat it’s your opinion.
Youthful geniuses blow.
Basic goals
Evident truths it’s your opinion.
Oral perversions speaking pretty words out.
Light passes roost looking over your shoulder
Divine communion inner spirit.
Empirical golden truths it’s your opinion.
Rough real motivations beauty in the eyes of the beholder
