Short Day Of The Month Poems

O n the very first day of this month
C hilling winds make their debut
T hroughout the country farmers make reap their last harvest
O pen pastures remain where grain once stood
B ut it is the last day of the month, the
E ve of all Saints, when children 
R ush from home to home, seeking treats and playing tricks...

Fundamental five virtues of wisdom, truth, goodness, justice and love 

In tune with five senses of taste, smell, touch, hearing and sight

Vibrations of the five sided pyramids draw power, and emit light

Elements of water, fire, wood, metal and earth each share their worth

Simply the luckiest day of the month for one’s birth!

Maurice was crammed full of buttock-clenching humors
                        One day in the month of May he poked Jannie's tumors
                                             'Oh they are real groovy'
                                              'Must taste like anchovy'
                      "How can you be so sure?' 'they are under my  bloomers'....

hope
misplaced,

dark day dawns
tick-tock,  tick-tock
date confirmed by lot

thirteenth day of twelfth month

revenge builds its own gallows
three-day night of anguished fasting
queen's hope rests upon her monarch's orb

Jews' annihilation - signed but not sealed

The cops are on the roads today
And this is why, I’d bet,
Their ticket quotas for the month
Have not been filled quite yet.

This is the last day of the month
And so the pressure’s on
To catch some speeders in the hours
Before the day is gone.

We saw them nabbing five or six;
All slowed without a fuss.
I’m glad they nailed those other cars
And had no time for us....

a week, just one week
this time just last week
you were still here with me
laughing shouting, crying
bringing happiness
making me laugh
we fought, a lot
but i still loved you
and now you are not here
and i don't know what to do
you were a mother.
a aunt.
a daughter.
a worker.
a wife.
and you where my best friend
friends forever is what we said
i didn't know forever could come so soon
on that cloudy day of the month of may....

One sunny day in the month of May, a Young Grape heard a sound.
“Help a soul in need, and never kick one when it’s down.
Treat others how you wish to be, for everybody should,
do good deeds for no reason other than to do good.
Respect opinions and beliefs, it’s character that tells,
your opinion is just that, to someone else, you’re someone else.”
The Young Grape shouted “who gives these messages? Who’s the liaison?"
-And an Old Grape spoke up from afar; “twas I, the voice of Raisin!”...
