Premium Member September Tenth

How deep
The Rio Hondo?
Mopan, Sarstoon
They flow... deep as gratitude
Deep as our forefather's breath
Fighting on to victory
September Tenth, of
Seventeen Ninety-Eight,
Please remember.

Tenth

Takes a count, one to nine, to reach there
Exhausts the mind when reaching near
Number counting practise and perfection in the younger peer
The scholar builds confidence in numbers with no fear
Honors then come forth from her dear

St Pius the Tenth

I genuflected, 
Is that even the
Proper tense?

I've wondered. 

And the Math Man, 
clipboard and all 
Smashed his
Brains in, 
with his cat
and Bicycle. 

And closed now, 
Is that institution
Where I learned
Only text book
rhetoric and 
Public exposure
of my Genitals.

Premium Member The Tenth Percentile

Green scissors that never cut a thing,
seen always as outside of the box;
Gene gave me this vivacious vision 
keen to lean towards unorthodox;

Wrong side of the road is where I live,
along with others who share my smile;
Headstrong creatives we’re colorful;
Lifelong punch of the tenth percentile.

Joy On the Tenth of May

J-oy on the tenth of May
H-as made you feel fine; 
E-arly morn has broken, 
N-ice day starts to shine.

M-irth on the tenth of May
A-ims to make the day better; 
R-ugged wind has turned
T-o warm and sunny weather.
I-t's a lovely Wednesday, evening chill fades away; 
N-ew dawn has shared the joy on the tenth of May.

Early Morn Tenth of April

E-arly morn tenth of April, 
D-awn has just broken; 
S-un has begun to rise, shining in the blue heaven. 

M-onday morn tenth of April 
A-ims to warm your heart; 
L-et the twilight end, 
L-et the dark dusk depart. 
O-ne beacon up above 
R-emoves the windchill; 
C-herish the daybreak, 
A-n early morn tenth of April.

The tenth door Fontanel opens, as bliss beat shapens our energy field, by divine grace, healed. Nothing is concealed; space itself does yield, revealing soul's light, shining within bright. Heightened is delight, dancing day and night in boundless rapture, mind cannot capture. 08-May-2022

One Tenth of a Father

I am a patient son
Yet I abhor waiting for the version of you that I love 
Every time you touch a bottle, 
You violently divorce me as your son 
Each time you become a different man, one I cannot love 
Oh father, I detest all your shades but one. 
Abandon your poison, 
Or very soon I will love none
Be the man you hope I'll become.

Another Dawn In Tenth September

A-nother dawn in tenth September
L-iberates you from darkness; 
M-orn that has broken
A-llows you to see brightness.

L-et dawn in tenth September
U-se the light of day; 
K-ind weather will remain, 
B-ringing the wish I say.
A-fter the twilight is gone, the dusk is also over; 
N-ew cockcrow has started, another dawn in tenth September.

October Tenth

Oh wolfcub, time is not my friend
Can't rest till you are here
This mockingbird will take its leave
Only when you’re near
By now you will be waking
Encased in your own time
Roll over and you'll feel my touch
Trail gently down your spine
Enjoy the morning sunlight,
Night will follow soon
This time will pass, till then my love
Howl softly to the moon.

The Myth of the Tenth Muse

As Sappho climbed the mountainside,
She knew the Muses waited there,
And she was welcomed by all nine
And given Laurels for her hair. 

She wandered gaily through the wood,
Until she found Apollo’s cave,
And then she dived into the spring -
She’d seen the place where poets bathe.

As nymphs were dancing round the fire,
She played a paean on her lyre.

My Life To the Tenth Degree

Living a life full of confusion
Just trying to figure it all out
Hope I can find some solution
To rid myself of all this doubt

Wanting to do it the right way
Yet it's a never ending battle
Matters not what they all say
Like my soul they try to rattle

I won't give in easily you see
In me there's much more fight
I live my life to the tenth degree
As I always shed a bright light

The Tenth Twilight

Twas' a mellowing twilight on the end of the day
Where the whispers of dusk benignly sway
when the weary traveler of orange bid adieu
varnishing the sky with amber and blue
As the shadows lengthen and daylight wanes
Couldn't endure enough of what my eye gains
The chaotic screams of the day departed at the dusk
The halcyon prevails with its demandless busk
So ended the beatific nightfall
an enrapturing memory I could forever recall.

Premium Member The tenth door

Liken the fontanel as the tenth door, which soon after birth, slowly becomes closed, whence blinded from truth, we feel not our core, immersed in hypnotic trance self-imposed, floundering about through life indisposed. Freedom’s enabled when we pierce the crown, which occurs when our turbid thoughts calm down and heart purified, ego is decried, that love entwined, in stream of bliss we drown, in the vast void glide, amazed and wide eyed.

New Dawn In Tenth September

N-ew dawn in tenth September
E-liminates the dark night; 
C-old chilling rain is over, 
K-ind weather makes it right.
E-vening shadows fade, 
L-ight above is shining; 
L-etting you feel the warmth, 
A-llowing for break of morning.

E-arly breeze brings comfort, 
M-aking the dust disappear; 
P-ure delight is truly brought, 
L-essening the drop of tear.
E-vade the unpleasant air, not the wind soft and tender; 
O-pen your eyes to view new dawn in tenth September.

TENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

     ‘My Dear, our tenth Anniversary:
     Yet, no planning is compulsory.
           Much I do not expect,
            still love to celebrate.
      Whimsical or arbitrary.’            
                                                
     ‘Right you are: Nothing mandatory.
       I feel cool in your territory,
           but need certificate
           of marriage, to locate
      where is written date of expiry?’

Premium Member The Bully Story

Let’s push mushroom man around today Mouse One said.
Mice Two and Three went along with it.
Being followers and wanting to be on the bully’s good side.
The mushroom man protested and fought back.

They struggled with him all morning but could not get him pushed.
How long are your roots? Mouse One demanded.
A tree on the other side of the forest said “They stop at my roots.”
The mice ran over to try and push the tree over.

Moral of the story: Bullies are not very bright.

The Tenth Month

The tenth month 


October has psychological problem as it doesn´t 
belongs anywhere, nor summer or winter? That 
is why it gets hot at noon and cold in the evening 
having read bad reviews all day long,
 October has an inferiority complex doesn´t accept 
critics, sees it as a personal attack and then it gets 
resentful send bucket full of rains on foe and friends 
alike. But October has a soft inner heart, sentimental 
too, so speak softly to it and it will be your friend.
