Topic: Birthday of Marlowe Manalo (April 17)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
dark dribbles drool
feigning freaks fooled
nocturnal nimble numbed
felon fits gulped
hideous hankers hoisted
callous crest cremated
porous politics punctured
moaning trends tortured
leering lanky leisure
pulpy pen pruned
sassy syllables sued
squashed bills bruised
la-de-da wits wrecked
haggard hymns decked.

Note: Dedicated to Christopher Marlowe.
I feel the futility
after decades
of my fingers flitting
like dragonflies
over the keys
my once hopeful heart
shriveled and shrunken
as a plum into a prune
Shakespeare and Miller
Marlowe and Pinter
will never again
pick up the plume
to pen another
poem or play
yet they live on today
while my words
wither in the womb
Stillborn they are silently
whisked away unread
without a funeral
to the tomb
Dr Faustus signed a pact
Not realising the fact
That great magical aspirations
Are only mental formations
To the devil he gave his soul
Who did not fulfill his role
And laughed in his lair
While Faustus was in despair
He disintegrated mentally
by leaving god completely
He wished for his own destruction
To once again gain salvation
To God at last he raised his hands
To ask for grace and forgiveness
This poem Was inspired by the play 'Dr. Faustus' by Christopher Marlowe
