The most wonderful moment
Relax and forget about everything
No doubt about
The most important part of my day
Happy Dreams!!!

22. What is love?
Love is patient and kind,
Why is there violence?
Love does not envy and not boast,
Why is there greed?
Love is not proud and is not rude,
Why do we allow hostility?
Love is not self-seeking and is not easily angered,
Why do we allow aggression?
Love keeps no record of wrongs,
Why do we not forgive?
Love rejoices with the truth,
Why do we lie?
Love protects, perseveres, and hopes
Love to be loved!
(Biblical Allusion I Corinthians 13:4-5)
From Poems, Thoughts and More
23. No Doubts
Sylvia Plath said,
“The worst enemy to creativity is self–doubt.”’
I agree,
I never thought about writing in another language
Until I have the courage to do it.
Now, I write with confidence
I’m not sure with perfection
But without a doubt
(Quote allusion 2015)
21. My Pencil
Pablo Neruda once said,
“Poetry doesn’t belong to those who write it,
But those who need it”
And I said,
My pencil
Lightly dances
With lovely twists
For an invisible audience
Except for me
(Cinquain Poem, 2013)

19. Coffee, Café, or Tinto?
Coffee please,
Or Café por favor,
For some, coffee is more than a morning routine,
For others, it’s a daily tradition,
Enjoy your Tinto, Oh sorry!
Enjoy your next cup of coffee!
(Acrostic@ 2014 From Poems, Thoughts and More)

16. December Sestinas
Everyone has a reason
To celebrate the season
Any way is all right
It is part of your life
If you don’t have a season
Revive traditions
Bring back memories
Enjoy what you have
Celebrate life
That is the reason
To celebrate the season
The essence
Is in your heart
The reason
Comes from above
Is tough to perceive
It’s time to find the reason
Not in the wrapping
Or in the store
Nor the food
Neither the place
To celebrate the season
May find the reason
Under a tree
Around the table
Inside a church
Close to families or dear friends
It’s time to find the reason
Or in the street
Make Merry
This season
Have hope
For a new tomorrow
To celebrate the season
It’s time to find the reason
To celebrate the season
Let’s celebrate
15. Mother’s Day
Years had passed
Without a doubt
No card to create
No call to make
Mother is one
Mine is not here
But in my heart
She is allays near
I cried
I prayed
I hoped
I lost
One part of me
When she left…
(Sonnet@2014 From Poems, Thoughts and More)
