Monocrostic (Birthday of Rose Valdez)
maria valdez, ultimate flamenco dancer
wearing her mother’s embroidered satin dress
dazzling us with ruffles we had not seen for twenty years
no one loved it more than her mama
Give me a cup of coffee so I can face the day
Fresh from the ground beans of Senor Juan Valdez,
A magic elixir, always my morning mainstay
Give me a cup of coffee so I can face the day!
If I don’t have my coffee, someone will pay
No excuses, I do not care what anyone says,
Give me a cup of coffee so I can face the day
Fresh from the ground beans of Senor Juan Valdez.

[a triolet]
Ok, so I'm exposed. But the bus stop sign wasn't. The situation is clear. I'm not. My out and about could turn to hit dirt . An out. My contrast were not so rare for the day ahead. First step toward the missed step. Like Jeff. Like Jagged. Like Lie. Like Jard. Like Jeered at. A no one. A addict. Like die. The miss is clear. Like Jeff Jagged. Like dear. At second step. A stage stop. An on page. A GPS. A move and A man. Like Valdez. Like so lean. Like to mean. Like ready go. Like big show. At a no burn. A no ember. Like Jeff jagged. Like dear. A right stop. A fraid not. A bus stop missed mess contrast so clear. My miss step. My meet made. Like bus gone and great. At a no fate. My made up. A mind clear. Like on a page. A man made in a contrast. At a clean call. At a no fall. Like Jeff jagged. Like dear.
