SONNET XXVII — MY WAY
(transformed from Pandita Sanchez's 'I did it my way')
I did it my way not because of the applause,
But because failure was not an option for me.
I became a rebel with a cause...
I was born to win, to prosper, to conquer of course.
And I was told I wouldn't have it all,
I had to fight, I had to creep and crawl
And I was told I wouldn't keep the pace,
I knew I wouldn't, but also I knew I'd finish the race.
I did it my way not because of my name,
Not because of kingly fame.
But I challenged every obstacle placed in my way,
Determined to shun out all that people say:
Follow the ways of your heart, ponder straight to where it leads you young man,
Guide it with your mind, and don't expect people to understand.
Verse 1. "Beautiful lyrical
Ah, Yes,
O yea and Amen!
I dedication to myself
To the Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ!Yeah…
Choirs--> And hallelujah
I believe in you
O Lord you always come through and you…
You’re a beautiful lyrical word
And you are my Father beautiful beyond words
You’re lyrical beautiful
Verse 2. "O’ and Father God you are

And those praises that we raises
We lift our voices
We acknowledge our holy choices
Anointed, so anointed
we lift our eyes, unto the skies
Who are merciful?
Wonderful and your graces keep me
Hanging, hanging on…Alleluia
"Beautiful lyrical dedication to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Yes, Amen!

Under Luna's Smile - A Collaboration With Michael P Clarke (Vladislav Raven)
Oh, Luna, in thy glory smile,
as love's most beautiful wonder, I now hold,
where we two do embrace, do linger awhile,
in your silver beams, our love is told.
My most beautiful dream, I now hold in my arms,
what glory divine, shall now come to me,
under your love-light, we shall share love's charms,
my Latina wonder, our love, Luna does see.
Lovely Luna, divine Goddess, shining bright,
drape us with your grace and awesome splendour.
Beam your Heavenly love-light on us tonight,
binding our hearts within love's tender surrender.
Merging in this moment, we're immortal and strong,
with the ancient stars, we're one...one body, one heart.
We embrace and dance to your mystical song,
under your smile, Luna, never we two shall part.

I'm not in the military
Nor do I fight mystic fairy's
I have a heart.
I love to impart...
I humbly ask myself am I a... bard
literary words
Love sonnets, songs served
I want to hear the words... ballad-monger, troubadour
My love for you all the words;
I have a heart.
I love to impart...
I humbly ask myself am I a bard
Sometimes I'm a rhymester, rhymer, sonneteer, lyricist
Versifier verse-maker, heart fixer or just a poet
let me romantically write for thee
bards a poet, reciting epic love and warring conviction be
Associated with a particular oral tradition
Could I envision
I have a heart.
I love to impart...
I humbly ask myself am I ...a bard
Lyrist elegist, I love those love songs dear
Just a swan
Rhymist maker metrics within a song
I find it hard
Being called idyllist Parnassian poeticule
When in myself I'm found if odd, Alleluia
I am a bard?
I have a heart.
I love to impart...
I humbly ask myself am I ...a bard

Pandita Es Seniorita Muy Bonita
Pandita es seniorita muy bonita,
Y ella viva en un gran hacienda;
Adore,
More and more;
Con tenía una hermosa sonrisa.
Diego Cuerno de Vaca
With all My Heart
The presence of your love cracks open the cage;
the warmth of your heart melts that inner ice age.
Your steadfast love brings me out of that trance;
I feel my heart beat, my soul starts to dance.
Your beauty blazes forth before my eyes,
within and without, you light up the skies!
In loving humility I take your hand,
and dance forth in love, across the starry band.
Across the skies we fly, no distance too great,
life leads us forth, we mustn't hesitate.
God will sustain us, and show us the way;
night has ended – we have only bright day.
God leads us forward, embracing we will go,
for there'll be no other ending, that we do know.

Spanish verse:
A ti, Señor, alabo;
A ti Dios a quien canto
Siempre siempre y siempre y siempre
A ti, Señor, rescátame;
Por favor
A él siempre
Dios es mi ayuda
Siempre
A él siempre
Señor, te alabo
Incluso cuando estoy abajo
Incluso cuando me encuentran

Es estar siempre con él
Porque cuando muera, me voy a los cielos
Voy a alcanzar los cielos las puertas de la gloria Él y yo
Siempre estaré satisfecho. . .
A él siempre

Are you in blues? Read ''In the Calm of Blue"
The best anti-depressant,is it not true ?
She churns out ambrosia for the thirsty bards,
Her golden pen is always ready to lead the queens of words.
Her poems bring for us the nectar of divine bliss
Pandita Sanchez, your poems I cannot afford to miss.
Summertime Fun – On the Beach
When I’m feeling hot, hot, hot,
the beach is certainly my ideal fun spot!
Wearing sunglasses and floppy hat plopped on my head,
I’m lunging under an umbrella in my bathing suit so red.
As I play with my bare feet in the warm sand,
for me summertime on the beach is always grand!
After a few sun-drenched laps in the salty ocean,
I’m ready for a full-body massage with baby oil or suntan lotion.
Feeling very relaxed, sipping on a frosty virgin pina colada,
this is definitely summertime fun for Pandita!
Just imagine coconut trees swaying in a light breeze,
that’s a picture I like – so freeze frame – please!

how it cuts the grain
yes earth's moon's unchanging face
heat loss from moon tides
Brian Johnston
July 28, 2014
This poem was inspired by Pandita Sanchez's Haiku called 'Gravity.' Read her
poem as well for even more fun!
Isn't it great? Nature's mysteries explained in 17 words. Didn't you ever ask
yourself why we only see one side of the moon? It does revolve you know, one
complete revolution every 24 hours. How is it possible that this is accidental? The
answer is that, of course, it is not an accident. When the moon was spinning
faster, there were tides on the moon just like we have tides on earth. These tides
of lunar soil caused the moon to heat up but then that energy radiated off into
space. The Laws of Conservation of Energy, then required the moon to slow
down, to the speed it rotates at today. Since there are no longer tides caused by
the moon's rotation, it has stopped slowing down. God I love Physics!
