As thorns behind roses
An unnoticed pain behind every cute thing
A generalised fact
Salubrious slades
With scarlet splotches due to savagery
An organized act

“S”
by Lanier Thomas
So,
Seeing
Successful
Salubrious
Senators sitting
Supposedly serving
Silently subordinate
Society, so sickening
Stomachs, several sundry sullen
Students spurned supporting such senators.

Land of the seas and glorious sunshine
Sparkling Pearl of the Orient Sealine
Strategically and truly well-placed
This great country's sun-kissed islands are laced
Lined up with palm fronds and coconut trees
salubrious climate that drives cool breeze
Pearls of Heaven lay scattered in the sea
Are the beautiful islands that we see
Historic past meets glorious future
Modern Philippines is poised to feature
Advancement in science, technology
Coupled with the country's topology
The common man is honest and simple
Hard work and forbearance is the symbol
Tributes to the great hero Jose Rizal
Somehow nation's progress is a puzzle
There are some problems that are hard to solve
But Philipino spirit can resolve
Economic revival it may face
With certain ingenuity and grace

Robust that you are, jolly and still
Over trails of yore, folly or drill
Every step you take, slide or drift
Every stomp you make, easy not lift
Precarious it may seem, your plight not in grim
Salubrious in your dream, clarion's call in rim.

Wish all my friends on Poetry Soup a joyful, peace filled and prosperous New Year!
As the glow of 2022 has died out
When a new dawn’s halo is round the arc
Best wishes and prayers from all hearts sprout
‘Let a new world of light emerge from the dark’
Let us wait to see new hopes blooming
Grab the little joys the mind can contain
Dismiss all defeatist thoughts surfacing
Warmly greet the New Year about to begin
The stream of life glides gurgling
Listen to its dulcet rhythmic refrain
Put down smothering blues brewing
Cast away all sad and throttling pain
Inhale the salubrious air and begin again
Hope for happier times, day after day
With enormous appetite, life’s zest, regain
Newer vistas will open up and come to stay

Salubrious salutations, new age
gradually old made voyage,
Living was perfunctory and now it’s stale,
Can the memory sway?
You yelled but no one heard,
Maybe tide was chatty with time
and now you are here, no quarter to hide;
Speed of time is high then it flies.
Many have come and gone but, all is saved to the core,
Not by alacrity that one lives, but by the almighty;
In the earliest times, the past began,
lessons taught through the odds.
Yesteryears were better, but not for the years after;
Hay have made its way today; can the sun shine then?
Old was new so is new; what is anew?
You kept your call, known was it,
step by step, the old fumbled in whole pit.
There is “do” so is “redo,” make your staying perpetuate gusto;
Everything has two sides: old and new, far and near, cry and laugh,
good and bad, greeting and farewell;
That which is good is sweet, and that which is sour is bad.
If moments leave scars,
will your past glitter?
As you stay, do ring the grotesque bell;
Your days shall be well.

Please, your journeys suspend in winter
Death's Cold on The Body A Printer.
Correct! To Death speedily freeze,
Not salubrious Winter's chilly breeze.
This you tell Your Dearest Jacinta,
I could same say to Christ, The Carpenter;
Asthma's Patients: inhalers or wheeze!
Often, the time to keep saying ‘’Jeez!’’
They are careful who cherish their lives;
If you don’t against self wield knives:
Demand does Survival True Restraint,
On this Sages should not words paint:
It is not The Best of Wisdom
To in Winter assert ‘Legs’ Freedom...
A little rashness cross we The Bridge
And next catapulted to fridge.

Sonorous, saporous symphonies: strong;
soothingly spirited, sublime sweet songs.
Satisfied sigh, sees salubrious springs;
sharp, sizzling sunburn scream: saltwater stings.
Searing sharp satirists, snarkily snide;
subtle smart sophists show soft, specious side.
Skimpy, salacious shows sell sexy spice;
somber, sad serials scarcely suffice.
Seismic'ly sensitive subsurface screens;
substandard systems: severe shakes scarce seen.
Scaling slick surfaces, snow-scented slides;
slogging sludge swamps, smelling stinky sulfides.
Sans similarities, superimposed;
sequencing syllables, simple supposed.

Gleaming golden ball revealing pines
Dark silhouettes against the jet-streaked sky
Roosters crow the sun up as doves coo refrain
Life seems simple salubrious as fledglings fly
That ole woodpecker rivets once again
What a way to live his simple savory time here
I often wonder how his sturdy head survives
From one oak tree and then to over there
He has moved, his riveting continues
I wonder if he finds food, is that why
He in that tree lingers, do night owls cringe
Wanting to screech, spread silky wings and fly
The cool of the morning feels so spot-on and dry
Soon strong sunny star will drive us inside
Seems simmering summer arrived early
Here's hoping it doesn't hang-on and abide

i admire and love
these creatures we call birds
watch in envy the soar, dive
those landings of awkward elegance
internecine territorial disputes, my laughter
salubrious songs of the morning, my smile
the mocking bird's nocturnal cry, my reflections
living where the weather suits
something humans rarely achieve
never leaving an heir
with more than air they survive
living instinctively in nature's harmony
they have taught me
we humans struggle with freedom
birds simply live it
but it is more than just wings
some people prefer life complex
me, i am for the birds

Northern Hemisphere bound, up past the equator
Sun rising, blue skies and temperatures getting greater
Away from the stalemate of winter tide
Springing and scampering forth untied
Fresh exuberance in the air
Beautiful bodies moving everywhere
Blues and Reds just a flappin' and a chirpin'
Children laughing, playing, and slirpin'
Verdures greening with life
Man relinquishing all artificial strife
Beautiful butterflies, black and yellow
Sipping on lemonade and feeling quite mellow
Ahhhhhhh!
Chipmunks and squirrels sprightly moving in search of food
Energy, so much energy got me in a salubrious mood

Temperatures are high
Youthful bodies run and jump
The blue sky above
Sun smiling and giving life
O, salubrious summer

A turbulent year has faded out and a new year is before us. Many who were with us are no more. Many are maimed and marred in the battle of life. Let us hope that something better awaits us and it is this hope that pulls us on. Imploring God’s grace, I wish all my dear Soup friends, a Happy 2022.
As the glow of 2021 has faded out
And a new dawn’s halo has surrounded the arc
Best wishes and prayers from all hearts sprout
‘Let a new world of light emerge from the dark’
Let us wait to see new hopes blooming
Grab the little joys the mind can contain
Dismiss all defeatist thoughts surfacing
Warmly greet the New Year about to begin
The stream of life glides gurgling
Listen to its dulcet rhythmic refrain
Put down smothering blues brewing
Cast away all sad and throttling pain
Inhale the salubrious air and begin again
Hope for happier times, day after day
With enormous appetite, life’s zest, regain
Newer vistas will open up and come to stay
