HERE IS A TWO-YO POEM BY NOEL LORENZ
Me and Her
she called me
after she had tea
we met at the street
where we always meet
had my jeans
and a hat as always
we talked
we walked
we ate an apple
we felt we at Naples
the last we saw
the dark was drawn
glare was there
everafter

Life in Earth:
Earthly beauty hidden
Popular and eternal
Beauty with side
Life with mutuality
The victory as it is.
The mind with harmony
Wisdom as harmony
The water and sun
The moon with life
The cloud as path
Earth with shining rays
The love of harmony
Beauty like humanity
Life with height
Rivers:
Rivers as liquid
Snow with transformation
Trees in water living
The root as life
Water with sun and moon
The water with cloud
The water with snow
Life within water
Death with water
Water as creator as fire
Water as green memory
Sunshine from rivers
Sea is from water
Water is guide to live.
Sky:
Sky as huge colony
The cover earth
The light to earth
Sky is home with all
Roof of earth
The bright sun is there.
Sky as life to all.
It is the light to life
The genuine cover to all
The strong roof to save us.
The harmony as earth
The path to live creators
The salt and sugar to us
The rope to connect is sky.
Snow:
The hidden water
Stored with mountains
Sun is meting it.
The sunshine dances with it.
Sensitive snow is.
Snowy mountains
Trees are lacked.
The white snow is beautiful.
The life of popularity of water is hidden.
Snow controls flow with water.
It secures earth to dive
The delight of snow to view
The mountains with shining pearl
The snow lives with height.
Trees:
Green with colours
High with mountains
The mother of wood
The green wall of earth
The green leaves
The sunshine within earth
Controls water force
Roots control water
Trees as existential beauty
The eternal trees
Warm air, Cold air
The air with life
The air from trees
The life from trees

DEARTH BLADER
A star crashes,
We separate ways at the galaxy.
Free fall, ashes,
The sea tempts me.
A planet ceases,
When the sandman came.
Save my eye, slashes,
And let me stay, the same.
Death came after,
The sadness at bay.
Wake me, a rafter,
Take me away today.
Between the sky and the earth,
Beneath my steel heart, a dearth.
WHAT A PACT!
Mars at war!
Heard afar,
The farmer prepared.
The herd was spared!
Alas, a space battle!
Hear the rattle,
The enemy was arrested.
The space rested!
We are at peace!
Here at Ceres,
Strangers beware,
Spycatchers care!
The Treaty, a planetary agreement,
That makes a better Settlement!
GREYBACK
Be a berserker,
An agent of anger.
Reckless savagery,
Legendary frenzy!
Be a scrapper,
A real wrangler.
Fast and alert,
Metal blade expert!
Be a warwager,
A relentless battler.
Strengthened the army,
And scattered the enemy!
All clear!
Recreancy smashed here!
EXACTNESS
Planet revolves,
Space evolves.
The Earth ages,
Where sages,
And mages,
Need badges.
Trees beaten,
Grasses eaten,
By greedy men,
At the garden,
Be aware then,
When they’re seen.
Statements were safe,
After the strafe.
(W. J. Manares, Philippines)

Earthly belt melts
Far and eternal

The harmless maker
Best at pen
Breath at sky.

Man at change
Trees at water

The jewel as earth
The path as search breath
The salt and bread at stand
The heart melts at sky.
4. Cave at Water:
The water at den
Kept at sea
Harmless at sea
The rays dance here and there.
Cave as warm den.
Black water
Trees are lacked.
The cave at wall

Melts at warm day
Saves earth
Father as water clean
The pearl at earth
The gas at water

The path at leaves

Eternal breath
The change at trees
Evergreen trees
