Classic, the recipe for French pastry
Heavenly to the palate and tasty
Open middle with a filling so creamy
Custard that's called crème patisserie
Observe the delicacy of this treat
Longing to have just one lil' bite to eat
At this moment, I feel myself itching
To bake a dozen eclairs, perhaps more
Exposing the layers that I adore.
Extra delicious, the ganache topping...
Chocolate glaze I'd eat without stopping.
Last bite taken, savored it to the end
Accompanied with milk or coffee blend
If you've never tried one you really should
Rest assured you will find them very good
Sweet morsel is the eclair confection.
R-ose- the beauty and blush of dawn
O-lfactory senses, it tickles and teases
S-weet scent, it gives off to the pristine air
E-arly spring’s late gift, the cynosure of all eyes!
L isten closely to the wind's softest hum
I t gently caresses and touches my hair,
S weet scent of jasmine it brings from afar
T ogether with ambrosial fragrance of roses,
E very sense-bud in my body feels serene
N ot a single feeling forgetfully untouched.
T antalize my soul, hypnotize my heart
O soothing wind, you make me yearn for days gone by!
T rue emotions sway through reminiscences,
H eal pain and sadness magically, calm
E very chord of an aching hurting soul.
W ind, you whisper and murmur a tale so poignant
I n harmony with a river's rippling sound,
N ostalgia envelopes my total existence
D ive with an ardour into retrospection.

Monocrostic (Birthday of Risa Bongado)
Salad fresh, cool, crisp with
Sweet onion dressing tossed;
Salt and pepper a must !
Spinach added for health;
Sprinkled herbs for delight;
Steak strips added is nice !
Satisfies palate well
Savory with blends of
Sweet, tangy, sour and
Succulent fruits with nuts
Served as healthy dessert
Sparkling midst lemon glaze…
Surely, I say, "Thank God."

Superb strawberry cake
Spilling with fresh, sweet scent,
Stiff blend of tart sweetness
Stale candle oozes dream!
Scenes of cadence wrapped in,
Sweet and creamy milkshake,
Sublime dance arises!
August brightness shows
Unique memories to catch,
Golden sandcastles built
Under the holidays euphoria.
Sweet when starts, sour when it ends~
Torch flame reaching its top splendor.
L-ife is an art distinctively beautiful
I-nvigorated by the troubles and triumphs
F-urnished by experiences and
E-nhanced by great lessons learned
I-mpossible to relive but
S-weet to reminisce
A-rticulated through
N-ature and nurture
A-esthetically
R-efurbished by
T-rial and success.
Aimlessly leaves blowing around in the wind, like my drifting mind,
Ushering the days of weathering flowers, like laziness in the old age,
Gone are the days of bright summer flowers and routine goal oriented busy life,
Ushering in a month of joyful ease, from no time to all the time at the slow pace life,
Sweet August, with your days so long, strive to find a new way to pass the time,
Tales of laughter and love belong, till the time may have passed you by.

Sweet so sweet just like candy corn.
When we kiss with candy kisses I am airborne. Every morning start the day with candy kisses so I can feel reborn. Every evening end the day with candy kisses so I can blow my french horn.
The years pass by with our many candy kisses so we will never morn.
