"Show me your marks, my dear.", he asked his son,
Having not even passed his subjects one.
"Dad, I got zero in math
Following your trodden path",
The son replied hiding his feelings none.

Anticipating, beckoning, casting demonic, enviable fury, gazing hungrily inside, jutting kerosene, littering masses never opted, putrefying quills, reverting sympathy, turning upside-down…vaccinating whim, x-raying yesteryears…zero in...

Be that igniting force 
To lift someone up 
Encourage the students to do their best 
So they can climb towards the top 
Teach them to always work hard 
In order to reach their goals
Zero in on your target 
Education is brain food for the soul...

Power of zero, in monk mode
Ready to walk away
Content always in God’s abode
Joyous, blissful sun ray 

Here, within this dream life
With love’s elixir rife
The hermit side steps strife

Destiny’s hero
Power of zero

The wind chill is thirty-two degrees below zero in Chicago
Snow is being pushed around by plows that are burying cars
The wind off the lake is adding to our discomfort, but taxis are moving
Marshall Fields is open, and there are Christmas carolers
Gorgeous nativity scenes light up windows...

I look below 
Barbwire fence
Sixteen feet tall
My M-14 in hand

Locked and loaded
One round
In the chamber
Sighted in

Ready to fire
Motion on
The west wall
Sirens blaring

Searchlights spinning
I zero in
My Target
Darn woodpeckers

They never stop
Pecking 
No worries
I just sit and listen...

Listen to poem:

a buffer between the you and the me
the constant mediator chaperoning

criticizing with its glare and pursed lips
negating the realm of possibilities

as it downplays the fragranced essence of hinting
opting to zero in on the desolation of nothingness

and that buffer between you and me
only grows stronger and louder

Below zero in a refrigerator,
I sat in a fetal position,
Trembled like a wet wren,
Yearning to feel the blazing flame of summer.
Teeth chatting with those brain neurons,
Fist clenching, not able to move,
Hypothermia began to set in,
My cells were paralyzed by the monster.
My heart, a sleeping dove,
Silenced and tranquilized,
Each heart beat longed to dance
But the hideous snowflakes forbad it....

MAINTAIN YOUR FOCUS
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS







Don’t lower the bar, lose not sight of the goal
Avoid the distractions, that constantly unfold
Zero in on the prize with relentless pursuit
An untended tree will be barren of fruit
Fuel your quest with positive assertions
Mine your resources for creative infusions
Your goal emerges, in sight, continue apace
Successful missions lead to a higher chase...

watching Nascar and petting the cat
eating Chee-tohs and getting fat
zero to zero in nothing flat

listen to the blue jay singing scat
while putting a diaper on the brat
zero to zero in nothing flat

Got to go to work, double drat
I wore my coat, but forgot my hat
zero to zero in nothing flat

I don't understand life, imagine that
it's like playing baseball without a bat
zero to zero in nothing flat...

Securing your strengths  
Encased deep inside
Lift every veil
Found in yourself
Accept all the extra
Cautioning panic
Treat it with trust 
Understand the menu
Affirm the plea
Laugh off the dull
Invite the alumni 
Zero in on the glitz
Act out each stanza
Triple the hunt
Ignore the anti
Option the bravado
Never give up again

Smell of decay oozing out of its countenance
Lacks manners or good hygiene all round the clock
Overlooks the negative reactions shown by others
Violent in approach, sub-zero in character
Everyone around closes their minds, noses and hearts
Negating all attempts of socializing and interaction
Low, so below is this personality kept
Yet basks in its dirt, carelessness or repugnant features....

Have we ever understood 
   Why,Sun,moon,planet is in a round?

   Why, some one did"nt told why some 
   fruits are in round shape?

   Why,trees are in round? 
   Why, wheel invented in round shape?
   Why, rings are round?
   What,came in some one head? 
   to make zero in round
   why most of the things are in 360 degree?

  Because HEN is the first who came before 
                AN EGG.

It's hard to zero in on nothingness;

That word, spun by my thoughts, does not compute.

Was born to see and feel a 'somethingness';

My senses all are mired within that root-

And empty, zero, naught- are not acute.

For nothingness, I think of cosmic space

Beyond known stars and planets- what I'd face!

So difficult to think about a void

Without some sides or borders that embrace.

The more I think- the more thoughts get destroyed!

Inability, so gross in the making
Not just inadequate, completely lacking
Extreme, nothing and a zero in ranking
Poor hand or mind in a show so ground breaking
Thinkers, yet need one another for using
It’s interest in nothing that makes it oozing
Talents, skills and knowledge are complementing
Unable thumb still leaves the others working
Diversity in skill isn’t all rounding
Even so, knowing limits is good standing...
