Gum drops are like Races of all people
Assortments of all shapes and sizes
Small components with sugar rush
Flavorful and tasteful
The end result being delightful
Feeling of content and well pleased
It’s not the color
It’s the association, acquaintance and friendship feel
Without the association there is connection
It’s the heart felt loving paying attention
Total experience of sensation
Gum Drops uplift
Relating to Race with no hush
Sense of savor and fulfillment
The aroma that follows and extends into goodness
Taste of the taste
Quality leaving no waste

Monocrostic (Birthday of Quelvie G. Umerez)
Day by day
Time after time
From range to range
From phase to phase
Stage by stage
The principle of life.
The day you plant a seed
Another day for the harvest
Hold on to your dreams
Dreams don't come through a night.
There are laws
Which are principles of life
Law that guilds and direct
Showing you how to attain whatever
So why the desperation?
Instead of following the process;
Which are the principles of growth.
Cleverness and Humbleness
Search for excellence
Therapy words
The fire that burns
Anecdote Heal
Through the alphabet
The leave determined to arrive
Valleys of doubt
Understanding needing seek
The desire to be meek
Echoing voices
The tongue expresses out
Statement after statement
Mistakes having corrections
Love with enduring affections
Until in everlasting
The Writing Feather’s friend
Throughout always at the end
The Feather with the hand glide.
I am here to invest,
I am not worried about the rest,
I know it is a test,
It is not a jest,
It is also not a game of chess,
I don't know if it is everlast,
It is also a game of trust,
I don't know when it will burst,
As if it is a must,
I know it was a blast,
If I can only form a fleet,
Then, where is my seat,
Is that how you treat,
Burning enough sweat,
I did not wander around the street,
For another retreat.
Nature shaped the earth into the sphere
While leaving each piece of parts flats
To offer individual life places to grow
While rotating around the sun as a whole
For all individuals can thus equally share
The glare of brightness, warmth of the sunlight
And the calm of darkness, coolness of the night
Silver clouds floating high and drifting
In the sky, distributing rain, snow, and news
To quench the thirst of every life facing
And secure them happily growing
The wind is playing longing tunes
For fairness, justice, the yearning
For quality and gracious life to come
Nature is indeed charitable to everyone
Sharing rains and dew evenly to each land
Sunbeam is also assigned with the same lines
Chaining up sincerity and honesty hearts
And flowing streams of warmth hand to hand
The wind rises, and white clouds wander
They are guarding no one in the earthly world
Wiling to act against the provisions of nature
They are spreading the news of the future
That Heaven will arrive behind a United World
And the charming visions will emerge
Before, lives are going to live forever
I made a few mistakes or a dozen.
I didn't know 'bout birds and bees buzzin'.
Son, please listen to me.
It's the principle, see?
Forget the football team and my cousin.
A firm believer he was
In virtue, he found grace—
Never strayed from the path
Temptation met with prayer
Holding fast to his faith.
Then came the union
Bound to a leech
A marriage of demand
Where every inch cost millions
And ends could no longer meet.
Like a poor tailor
He found himself short—
Unable to make life's fabric fit
He became a cheat
A man undone by his own hands.
Corruption took root
As lies piled high with each bribe
Those fervent principles
Once firm, now shattered
Like the frayed hem of shorts
Rippling into nothing.
,,karma", most people would say.
Yeah, I wished he would distance from me and when he did it made me feel that bad air is everywhere.
The karma wasn't when he distanced,
my intention to show him I don't like him anymore and try to heal made a process,
it did hit me like a car.
But I feel being in a coma.
It hopes it stays like that.
Even though with hurt in sleep,
I still can sense a kind of relieve and say.
,,I now can live and manage things with out looking forward of what he might think of my actions.
But what I think.
And god."
Dare to dream
A mind to needs to understand
Convene words
Heart expels
Storms torrent the soul
Emotions cry out
A loud voice says commit suicide
Die and be forgotten
Surrounded by defeat with no victory
Story in
Approaching conclude with no soothe
Understanding and purpose collide
It’s like there’s a small boat unable to hold steady
The mind feeling like waves shifting here and there
Alone in the struggles
A sunset that quickly turns dark
No one knows what I feel
Reality is for real
A told story, but who is listening?
Anchored in one’s own theory
Mystery unknown
Tomorrow only a virtue
Words hold true
Where do I stand?
The day, moment and hour
Darkened walls with authority
The time getting shorter
Midnight could very well be the second
Death calls
I have only one breath
The hour
Time out
I die.
Every form of art
dignifies human beings
minus art of war
I persist to reach your heart, resist selfish dart, insist truth-love*'s part.
*1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

2nd place, "Empathy" Monoku Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by JCB Brul; judged on 10/3/2022.
Born we are flesh, a self being with ego
On a place where what was done once ago
Shall reap its effect always and forever more
The way of investigation, wisdom will implore
Born on an earthly platform, gravity is what we’re held by
Everything changes, even God can’t stop the wheel in the sky
We can’t cling on, not even to a husband or wife
A principle in how one can live his or her life
Let us not sit by the riverbank, on an even flow let's be
Inexpressible, no self but every being is a philosophy
The middle way we must follow—nothing more nothing less
Continue or stay on a course of impermanent happiness
Here, now, enlightened with values, morals, reborn
With a principle of letting go—ego shorn
I
Science does much, gets stuck flat
Who made that, and that, and that?
If most of what IS, is dark matter
Who made it? Gravity is our detector
But we don't know much of this Matter
II
Think of Post- Newton science, no laws
Hold in the world smaller than protons!
Quantum particles can become waves
When certainty leaves, everything behaves
how FineTuner wanted. Best Law, love, His!
Jesus said: Nothing binds us if He forgives
The flowers don't break,
by principle stones don't bloom,
and the beaked don't kiss...
