Leon Enriquez Poem
(Dedication: For Dave Wood)
Do follow feel, do simple write;
Align your flow, align your say;
Voice lines that heal, voice verse that cite;
Echo fond glow, echo fond stay.
Watch feelings surge, watch intent spur;
Opt for plain smile, opt for clear poise;
Options emerge, options recur;
Deed springs fine style, deed hurls fond voice.
Passion greets choice, passion meets peer;
Offer to cast, offer to soar;
Endow your voice, endow your cheer;
Trust first and last, trust tact and oar.

Leon Enriquez Poem
The way of life is full of toil,
Bear well the strife to earn fine spoils.
Each day you live your vibrant quest,
Discern and give your very best.
The way is known if you learn well,
On paths unknown let courage tell.
Pain comes to each as troubles groom,
You stretch and reach to gain fond blooms.
Seize peace of mind as silence sums,
Live the wise find in all outcomes.
Dare to be brave as you go forth,
Watch your soul save the best up north.
Squeeze time and space to seize grand lots,
Watch cool breeze trace a lovely thought.
This is your time to rise and shine,
Dance dazzling chimes with dreams most fine.
For in the end, each moment counts,
Beauty my friend moves truth you mount.

Leon Enriquez Poem
This garden city
Concrete skyscrapers loom;
Greenery punctuate
Tree-lined avenues
Bourgainvillea clusters;
Traffic jam companions
Waltzing slowly
Overhead bridge;
Ant-people below
Old neighbourhood
Heartland community;
Ageing populace
Feeble old lady
Speeds on wheels;
Electric commotion
Playground
For small kids and big;
Noisy charades
Fitness park
For young and old;
Fighting spirit
City side walk cafe
Crowded after hours;
Beery happy hours
Noticeable absence
Dry spell ending;
Sudden torrential rain
Umbrellas raised,
Parasols hoisted;
Too late this drenching
Side walk cobbler
New lease for old shoes;
Assorted wears
Hyper art queue
Long-winded delay;
Fussy customer
Bank ATM await
Ready to dispense;
Urgent pocket money
Office podium
By shopping mall;
Buzz of human traffic
Downtown hype
Temptations galore;
Mostly unnecessary

Leon Enriquez Poem
Ask and wish bold, ask for clear sight;
Dare to seek out, dare to be brave;
Reach and unfold, reach your true light;
Explore grand bout, explore your crave;
Allow your heart, allow your soul;
Mind that fond dream, mind knows the way.
Choice helps you start, choice makes you whole;
Opt for fine theme, opt not to stray.
Move your world now, move your thoughts forth;
Embrace your dream, embrace your play.
Touch and endow, touch and go north;
Reap your grand scheme, reap your sure day.
Use your time here, use your days well;
Explore rich space, explore and tell.

Leon Enriquez Poem
Heavy heart hears,
Ink invokes ire;
Dance deeply dear,
Expose empire.
Hurl hurry's horse,
Expose empty;
Ask apt applause,
Voice vanity;
Yield yonder yes.
Hide hopeless husk,
End each express;
Air aligns ask,
Rust reaps refill;
Thrust troubles thrill.

Leon Enriquez Poem
I remember the good old days
When I was young and wild
With surging passion free;
Now I surrender the old ways,
Retreat to something mild
Stride with sure breath heavy;
Worry was not my sorry play
Yet time flies swift dear child
For fate cannot delay.
Once upon a time long ago,
I ventured boldly far
To find clear destiny;
Today my bones groan and creak slow
An aged and weary star
In struggling mutiny;
Sorry longings fumble to flow,
Passage in broken jar,
Glimpse apt eternity.
My mirror image speaks plainly,
Truth can be so profound
To simply tell on me;
The journey here strings memories
For pictures come around
To show what used to be;
My friend, remember this story:
Beware of fate that grounds
Our common destiny!
The ancient wise men lived bravely
Life's vistas with fond smiles
In true humility;
Pay heed to deeper harmony,
Anchor purpose and style,
Live beyond tragedy;
Let dreams embrace your history,
Make your days here worthwhile,
Dance with life's mysteries.

Leon Enriquez Poem
See that familiar form:
Happy joy strikes a norm,
Warm refuge from life's storms.
Sense a fond smile now squeeze:
Heart flutters in the breeze,
Kind comfort in harsh sneeze.
Delight frames a fond face:
Beauty in warm embrace,
Warm eyes that hurl kind grace.
Sure poise of charming voice:
Calm touch that cancels noise,
Silent resolve floods choice.
Bright sparkling eyes tell all:
Heed the lovely sans gall,
Wise beyond life's stern call.
You wear a certain glow:
Your heart speaks truth you show,
A touch that helps us know.
You mother well our days:
Touch of purpose that stays,
The path upon the way.
What is man without you?
You bring meaning that woos,
Love lives in all you do.

Quatrain #55:
CHOICE
Voice sacred trust in words that flow,
Poise knows you must bring truth to show;
Noise is but rust that corrupts good,
Choice now sculpts bust where beauty glows.

Leon Enriquez Poem
(Dedication: For Regina Riddle)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tree caterpillar crawling
Strong windy debris;
Blown over the bough
~~~~~~~~~
Violet blossoms
Vine decorations dancing;
Sun and breeze move
~~~~~~~~~
Joy wears a face:
Your smiles highlight;
Dazzle of morning
~~~~~~~~~
Hasty scribblings
Poetry in motion;
Grassy blooms unnoticed
~~~~~~~~~
Rose garden memories
Touch of rapture;
Thorny issues exfoliate
~~~~~~~~~
Sweet yellow guava
Pleasant tasty treat;
Oxford Road townhouse
~~~~~~~~~
This old Jasmine tree
Fondly remembers;
Our rowdy flower picking
~~~~~~~~~
Joy wears a face
Nature reveals seasons;
Change comes to all
~~~~~~~~~
Look to strange change
To re-jig feelings;
Afternoon rain respite
~~~~~~~~~
Be of good cheer
Bear with bad weather;
Dance with danger
~~~~~~~~~
Mid-autumn frolic
Peace in kind harvest;
Moon cakes and moonlight
~~~~~~~~~
Ghosts of lovers past
Touch of fond rapture;
Breezy plumeria garden
~~~~~~~~~
Voice in the wind
Fragrant with rain;
Black clouds threaten
~~~~~~~~~
Evening stroll
Hand-in-hand;
Plumeria flowers preside
~~~~~~~~~
So much to discern
Harmony trees here;
Gardens By The Bay
~~~~~~~~~
Evening serenade
Cicadas and frogs;
Sounds at nightfall
~~~~~~~~~
Orchard Boulevard stroll
Sense surrounds;
Fragrant touch sifting
~~~~~~~~~
Two yellow butterflies
Fluttering between shrubs;
Sky Bridge tower above
~~~~~~~~~
Haiku surprise
Or senryu moment;
Experience reveals
~~~~~~~~~
Observe dear heart
What nature shows;
See things clearly
~~~~~~~~~
Frangipani tree
Crimson and red flowers;
Walkway perfumery
~~~~~~~~~

Leon Enriquez Poem
Old guava tree
Still bearing fruits;
Sixty years old now
~~~~~~~~~
Old aunt's house
Porch with fruit trees;
Custard apple delights
~~~~~~~~~
Grandmother calls
Two pungent durians;
Holiday treat
~~~~~~~~~
Waiting time here
School bus arrives;
Goodbye waves
~~~~~~~~~
Memorial tablets
Family altar offerings;
Ancestors watching
~~~~~~~~~
Prayers sung
On festival days;
Harmony abides
~~~~~~~~~
Mind your words
Power resides within;
Seed new moments
~~~~~~~~~
Words surge
Magic floods;
Cosmic activity
~~~~~~~~~
Change anchors
Nothing to lose;
All things come and go
~~~~~~~~~
Death flavours life
Life yields to death;
Nothing stays the same
~~~~~~~~~
All that is true
Seen only with clear heart;
Listen to your soul
~~~~~~~~~
Poise beyond voice
Heart knows fond choice;
Learn to rejoice
~~~~~~~~~
Let blame be brief
Reject all grief;
Now simply breathe
~~~~~~~~~
Words echo
Stones in egg shell;
Noisy crackle
~~~~~~~~~
