Death of A Rock Star

All the jewels,

All the finery,

The expensive cars

and the wineries,

could not prevent the untimely death

of a rock star,

He felt ill

and staggered through the halls,

like any ordinary person,

and died a regular death,

Disappearing like a phantom.......

Namaste

Shabbos Ranking

In a time where people have lost their

faith,

G-D is closer than ever,

Talking to us in ways that are clever,

Telling us it is cool to seek our true religion,

while we watch and wait for his return,

He's always with us whether we are alive

or exiled to an urn.

A word from Maggie's Poetic Delights:

Due to the recent events in Haiti MPD is utilizing poetry to honor the heroic efforts and the strength and fortitude of the Haitian People.

One Love,

Remembering Haiti

Once a country of beautiful landscapes,

green lush mountains and lakes flowing through,

Now has been overshadowed by devastation and deluge,

The picturesque beaches that offered respite from warm

tropical days, have become bombarded by Haitains

seeking a place to stay,

A proud, and dignified people haved been taken from a state

of prosperity,

Entrenched in death, carnage and nature's fury,

A Country has lost its peace and joy,

There is no security for little girls and boys,

Uncertainty looms in their future,

Yet, redemption can come from unsuspected allies,

Haiti will be strong again if people remember the hospitality

it once offered,

Instead of turning their backs and leaving the cries for HELP ignored.

Death of a Thespian

Creative, flamboyant and filled with joie de vivre,

Expressing feelings freely.

While teaching others to emote,

through movement and words carefully

formulated from the mouth,

A life well lived,

with awards and accolades,

Then sickness sets in and one

is diverted from the stage,

The lights get dimmed as the life force quickly

passes away,

Leaving fans grief stricken,

because there will never be

another Performance Day.
