~Every Day~
(Quintana)
Smile and pause for a moment today
Breath in very deep all the fresh air
Just smell all the roses on the way
That you may see and find here and there
Waste no time,do your best every day.
Just don't take for granted anything
Smell the coffee, relax and sit back
Remember all that's kind, good again
Enjoy nice view and get back on track
Get in touch with God and the real you!

Author's notes:
'Quintana' is a poetry style created in 2007, by poet and author Jack Huber.
It’s mid-winter here in Quintana-Roo
Tonight the rain has come
It is not unusual
But the tourists are not happy
I am here to write and sleep
Mostly to sleep
The rain upon the thick leaves of the jungle
Sound like small drops of blood
Hitting my boots
Memories of Asian nights
As I sleep those drops
Bring back the dead
And I wake.
And then I write.
These are not good stories
They are nightmares
They are things I wish to forget
I write them and then I try to sleep again
Ambien the devils aspirin
Keeps me asleep until
Reality comes back
The jungle never sleeps
It holds on to dreams
And men.
there was a girl from Havana
her name was Ms. Quintana
she liked watching men from her cabana
scatily dressed in only bandanas
all those young men in their Speedos
put a rise in her labido
those hot guys made her crazy
then everything just got hazy
when she stood up and almost fainted
a hansome young man got acquainted
as he reached out to catch her fall
she know he was the best one of all
