Tornadoes of the Midwest Quintain (English) a.b.a.b.b
Multiple tornadoes touchdown in America’s Heartland
Storming in one after another in succession,
Hitting so hard, Oklahoma City could not withstand
Crushing the buildings to flatten by the wind's transgression
Storms getting stronger and stronger in progression
Twisters were born in the area called tornado-alley
When cold air from the north blowing down into the Midwest
Collides with the hot air flowing up from the southern valley
Thus giving birth strong twisters, that local residents detest
Families and benevolent societies have to restore the city without rest

A special space for a special love (Free Verse free style poem)
Let us go to a different world, far from here
Let’s go together, my beloved dear.
Tell me about your world you said so far
where is it, my lover, you wish to whirl, is it to a distant star.
It is a strange place, a wide and open space
far away land, where nobody stays, a wonderful place.
Wherever you go, no matter how strange, please just show,
that place you'll go, I will follow, all I need is to know.
Will you come, my dear, let’s go to so far a bliss
No gold no jewelries, no friends, two of us full of kiss.
I swear and I dare, I will step on all your steps,
Anywhere, without despair, I will apt I will adapt
A wonderful world, not a distant star, it’s a special place
Nobody, just you and me it's a happy and empty space, with grace.

Dirty Dudes Club (Light Poetry) (Humorous)
Dirty Dudes Club looking for a new president
A dirty guy thinks he is a qualified resident,
He had not showered for the whole year
Nor wash his face, nor brush his teeth, everybody leer.
Guy sent an application to the Club
Describing he was dirty enough,
Lived all his life with raw dirtiest stuff,
On his head, full of lice and dandruff.
To emphasize he is the dirtiest, in all situation
He mentioned that he wrote this application
On a piece of paper he had used in toilet to wipe
To show, he is filthiest and dirtiest of all types.
Dirty Dudes Club rejected his application right away
Saying he is not even par with a mediocre member, in any way
And declared for all of us to remember forever
that all of their members, never cleaned themselves in toilets, ever.

Plants and flowers bloom in spring
Birds sing in summer
Leaves tumbling down in autumn
Snow caps mountains in winter

Life of a Forensic Pathologist”
(Free verse in free style)
Eleven years of high school, he had to try
Seven years of college, he almost cry
Becoming an intern, his professor a real oppressor
What can he do, he chose to be a doctor.
Forensic Pathologist is his specialty
Dissecting dead bodies is his eventuality
Finding the cause of death, natural or criminal
Is it heart attack or a stab wound so typical
Going to court, giving expert opinion
Had to be unbias, statements given with reason
He is a legal witness, to save the innocent
But to a guilty criminal, he had to be insolent.
His daily life is in the mortuary and not so easy
Once he is in, it is a lifetime job, not so briefly
It is a difficult career and do not expect to be rich
This is what he is, the life of a Forensic Pathologist.

“A Man with a Big Heart “
I met Dr Austin, a dentist in Salt Lake City
Who is caring all patients with no discrimination
At his high-end clinic, which is always been so busy:
It is hard to find a man like him in this nation.
His clinic is called Gateway Dental Arts, at the Gateway Mall
Which is so cozy with newest contemporary style,
Appointments are easy breezy with just one call,
His expertise is to provide patients to have a beautiful smile.
He works day in and day out tirelessly the whole year
His wonderful staffs all speak so sweet and dear
Encouraging patients young and old, not to fear
When the doctor had to use all different kinds of drill gear.
Dr Austin didn’t care about money, that’s his principle
All he just wanted is to get the result of his Dentistry, a miracle
