perform life’s feat?
Zip line scares!
hanging like sheet…

need a drink
Indecisiveness not option
pushed to brink

flying over cedar
Parrots on repeat

T-wenty-fifth January morn 
E-rases the dark night; 
T-uesday twilight is gone, 
H-aze is swept by the light. 

R-ise of the beacon Wednesday 
O-bliterates the cold drip; 
S-corching sun opens 
A-nother bottled water to 
S-ip....

Birthdate
should be special
especially if...
the day occurs in December.
Four days following the Christmas frenzy
our five-year old WILL celebrate
along with his mama
their December
birthdate.

G  ut wrenching sobs
R  ip you apart
I  ntense pain squeezes your heart
E  ntrenched in the gloom where only death blooms
F elled by the tune from the Grim Reapers harp

Winter winter
Icy whisper
Nip in the air 
Touches warmer
Evenings longer
Rose in your cheeks

Maples burning
Apples charming
Green is white
Icy quiet
Christ in sight

A fruitless vein

Ruptures the
plexus

Of society’s esophagus

Embellishing virtual
pleasure

Within browsers of
opinions

Innovations, ideas,
revolutions

Traded for
corruption and malice,

Paranoia on the rise,

Innocence sucked,
swallowed, and
spewed

Into the IP addresses
of democracy...

Our bro with poetic gift
the Bardster Messina lets loose
with free verse and  narratives.
or rhymes and rare monokus.

Though fun is his major style 
he can write emotional.
He’s witty and versatile
his psalms, quite devotional.

This Halloween the spooks will come again,
Dracula's and Zombies will leave their den;
Evil hidden owls will hoot,
Horrible goblins will loot;
A witch is following me home - AMEN !

A tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
If by the sword you live,
you will die and never ask why.
Your sword in your hand is your truth. 

Vengeance is mine
and I will repay 
Hark, the (s)word of the Lord.
Count on it, there's payday, someday. 
Think! Why the absence of a time line?

I-ndigenous inhabitants/people 
G-enuinely 
O-ccupying the mountainous 
R-ealm that was 
O-fficially 
T-ransformed into
S-ublime scenery.


For my IP roots from the mountain city and provinces of the north, also known as Cordillera, that has been practicing unique cultures and traditions for years, blended with the cultures of some European and North American countries, especially the love of country music.

C-heckmating the king
H-as won a chess game; 
E-very move prior to the last
S-ignals the fall of his name.
T-he queen can do nothing, 
E-xcept to watch in dismay; 
R-ooks look like statues that have no other way.

Y-es, black bishops are gone, 
A-s well as their horses; 
P-awns fight for their lives but the winning white advances.

D-ay second November
I-s for a logical thinking; 
E-agerly employ the plan, 
Z-ip to checkmate the king....

M-ake everything alright, 
O-ctober thirty-first day; 
N-ever let sorrow last, 
I-nstead let it fade away. 
C-ontrol your emotion, let your life stay composed; 
A-llow your mind to calm when you need peace most. 

M-ake everything alright, 
E-ven if you're so confused; 
N-ever let the poise vanish, 
D-o it well wearing shoes. 
E-arnestly dress yourself with the armor shining bright; 
Z-ip with the shield of faith, make everything alright....

D-ip your toe in the water, 
I-n a venture into the unknown; 
A-im to do your best, 
N-ever fear when you're alone. 
N-ow dip your toe in the water of living in the world of trouble; 
E-xert all your efforts in order to be successful. 

C-ome dip your toe in the water, 
L-ife's uncertain neath the sky; 
E-ndure either fret or woe, 
O-n the twenty-seventh of July. 
F-ill your heart with hope, in the middle of bleak weather, 
E-ither rain or beacon, dip your toe in the water....

riddle in quatrains

I smell like a movie or baseball game and
I sound like a jerky, mini-jack hammer.
Salty or sweet; I taste better with butter
Stop! Don’t touch me, until the hot wears off. 
 
Focus your ears, before you smell me burning
Firecrackers will sound "off" in the microwave.
I can taste fancy like cheese or caramel 
I'm hard at first touch; but there’s magic in heat.
