Quintin Reda Poem
Lunch as an insect in the fog
Flying in a swamp by a log
For a starving toad
Though surely he's slowed
To a speedy tongue of a frog

Quintin Reda Poem
In circles and circles went the rat
On a family's front doorstep mat
A pet clawed for more
Then opened the door
Then was eaten by an indoor cat

Quintin Reda Poem
I'm hungry with a grumble
I know because I stumble
So I need a bite to eat
That is sugary and sweet
How about apple crumble

Quintin Reda Poem
A leprechaun bearded and old
Was packing a pipe as he told
At the rainbow's end
He said to me friend
They are after me pot of gold

Quintin Reda Poem
The Demonic Prince
Demons
The legion of demons
They dwell
In the cold place of hell
Tempt thee
The depth of hell's empty
They're here
For it's time to spread fear
Black crows
Come out of the shadows
They mean
They mean to ruin thee
But who
The demon inside you

Quintin Reda Poem
If the twilight welcomes the velvet sky,
If the light fades with a baby blue gloom,
Will it be the diamonds that shine up high?
Will they shine with the marshmallow moon?

Quintin Reda Poem
A toast to peers with a glass of red wine
From juicy grapes of the leafy grape vine
To honor a person and raise your glass
No matter if they're a lad or a lass
It's to honor all of our noble peers
And do not forget to always say cheers
Invest in a friendship to bring you wealth
But never forget to drink to good health

Quintin Reda Poem
We'll dread
If we're on our deathbed
We'll cry
For we're going to die
That sin
It's a turmoil within
So pale
To feel so very frail
In hours
I'll give you a flower
Suppose
I'll give you a red rose
Last breath
So taste the kiss of death

Quintin Reda Poem
The clouds that gracefully float up above
With a cool comforting wind that'll freshen.
The winds are like the embrace of God's love
And bright blue skies are the entrance to Heaven!

Quintin Reda Poem
There once was a man in the choir
Who sung out his greatest desire
For all of the sinners
Who thought they were winners
That one day they'd burn in the fire
