Sunrise In Puerto Rico
Ernesto woke with you beside the sea,
The dawn was whispering silently,
The mountains glowed with a golden flame,
And called the morning by your name.
The tide was breathing soft and slow,
Its silver secrets each only know,
The palms bent low as if they heard
The hush between each tender word.
The light unwrapped the sky in gold,
More precious than

Our Puerto Rico
Oh! No, they should never talk about Borinquén
Puerto Rico, Porto Rico in such an evil fashion
PR swims in the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea
With other exquisite islands like Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti
Puerto Rico is a gorgeous Caribbean Archipelago
With high mountains. Oh! Yes, wonderful Puerto Rico
Has perfect blue and white sky, tropical rainforests
Crystal clear water

I miss souper Rico’s jokes
Of limericks he was the G.O.A.T.
I’m sure he’s free
To write plenty
In heaven aloha dear Rico

Until the Rooster Stops Singing Coco-Rico
I will love you until you can hear
And fully understand my intentions.
It's not puppy love. It's about dedications.
I love you with an incredible passion, dear.
I'm serious and dedicated to our relationship.
I'll stop loving you until the rooster stops singing.
This is clear; I will never stop loving you, darling.
Hence, you are the woman's captain of my

Goodbye
Goodbye
We'll surely miss having Rico around
For his Limerick's distinctly profound
He cheered us all up
At times made us blush
As Limerick King Rico earned his crown.
Rico you’re the Monarch of poet hearts
Loved for your talented creative art
We miss you so much
For your Midas touch
Always on top of the charts for a laugh.
Rico now

R I P Rico
As I write this, I must confess
Rico Lafanta's was one of the best.
The limericks he thought of
He said more than he aught of
With a style of his own, he possessed
He had a swift mind,
His brain was hard to confine,
It went to places
Without any traces
Of malice of any kind
He was an intelligent bloke,
I like the truth

Goodbye Rico
He’s the master of limerick quirks!
He has charmed PS with witty smirks!
His wit, quite dry,
Hits a bullseye,
That is how Rico's wry mindset works!

I feel deep sorrow and grief, my dear pal,
Craving comments from a distant island,
I shall savour your poems and I shall
Miss your heartwarming presence, now silent.

Dear Rico your Lim’s were one of a kind
In them you definitely spoke your mind
Your passing has me in tears
You brought us a-lot of cheers
Meeting you here was a treasured find

Rico L and Ree Ko - Thanx Anaya
I
If any writer here didn't like him --
If Souper One, or 2023, dislike Rico,
Please correct my notion: Rico made you smile
Even when you hated to smile or laugh
ThanX Rico for leaving your fingerprints here
More respectful than boot prints --
You tried to enjoy life, and people,
Even when people deserved less
Godspeed! I know you fought "mind control"
Free

RIP RICO

Spirit guide O spirit guide begin his journey
Take him through the colors
Amber, presence of God, fiery passion, wisdom,
and God’s anointing
Pink new life, Father’s heavenly care,
and Rose of Sharon
Silver, salvation and the Word of the Lord
Spirit close to home for these days
Soul will be freed to make its way
To the "Land
