The Importance of Remaining Calm

One of the community's problems 
that leads to violence and strife 
is the conflict among groups. 
Even many households 
experience this thing. 
Evil words wound 
as deeply 
as a 
sword.

Premium Member Holly Beak Birds Songs

Holly beak bird had a soprano voice that carried sixty miles
She had a beak that seemed to be full of laughing smiles
Party givers paid her big bucks to come by and sing
Many households reaped the benefit of her ting-a-lings

Premium Member Signs of Christmas

During December, decorative display designs dazzle.
Christmas carolers chant cheerfully.
Merry music makes many meaningful memories.
Trimming tree trinkets twinkle.
Santa's sleigh soars skyward seeing soft snowflakes shimmer.
Households have happy holiday happenings.
Plenty presents pile, parading pretty paper.
Generous gifts given, gesturing grateful grins.
Festive fun for families!

Swept Away

Households unhitch so readily.
We watch incredulous as they float off,
hulls creaking, 
rafters cracking like wind-lashed rigging.

Where we once believed roots gripped bedrock
now shiftless boards bob in the swell. 
Domesticity tumbles out.
Bed springs gape, 
a chest-of-drawers turns, inside out.

The everyday innards of a dwelling, face up,
barely floating:
a sure sign of those about to drown.

Trees Everywhere 1

Trees Everywhere

Trees everywhere
But great is the coconut tree
Trees everywhere
Adored and grown with utmost care
Our lands were a coconuts’ sea
For long ages till recently
Trees everywhere.

It’s rubber now
It’s for its planter sheer money
It’s rubber now
With coconut taking its bow
Now modern households do not see
In coconuts uses many
It’s rubber now.

We Were Called

WE WERE CALLED
by
 JOHN M. ARRIBAS


Poor Mom, She Barely Sleeps, Easy to Tell
The Wives Are Fearful and Worried, as Well
The Children Often Ask “Where’s Is My Dad”
There’s Tension in the Air: Perturbing and Sad
Once Warm and Joyful Households, No Longer Grin
Men Are Gone to Shoulder the Duties of a Paladin
They Have Left: All the Things They Hold Dear
To Rid the World of a Bone Chilling Fear
At Times Humanity must Sacrifice Their Progeny
To Rid the World of Demonic Tyranny
