"Across the azure sky a super jet plane disturbs our peace, its image well ahead of its roar; below the trees bow with the gentle breeze." avr

Dr Abe V Rotor

Old frangipani* against the deep blue sky

with neither clothes nor any shade;

like in our bold moments we don't feel shy,

 with glory we show to make us brave.  

*Calachuchi ‎(Plumeria rubra) the common name of "frangipani" comes from a sixteenth-century marquis of the noble family in Italy who claimed to invent a plumeria-scented perfume, but in reality ‎Plumeria alba Family ‎Apocynaceae. Introduced from Mexico, hence the name in old Aztec - calachuchi.

Old pillar, once a column against invaders

in colonial times, idle you have been

for centuries, save the tough chichirica*

common herbal yet rarely seen.  

*periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) produces potent alkaloids, 

which are used to treat various cancers.

Across the azure sky is a long white tail 

of a super jet plane disturbing our peace, 

its image well ahead of its roar and trail;

 while the trees bow with the gentle breeze.
