TO HAVE A BESTIE

TO HAVE A BESTIE

It's a 
Funny feeling 
When
I see my
 Bestie.

It brings
Forth
Giggles
And laughs.

Secrets 
Are shared 
Under 
The best
Friend
Oath 
To keep
Them secrets
Safe.

The fun 
Continues
Throughout
Our meet.. 

It's
A pleasure 
To have 
A bestie
Who knows
How
To make
One's day.

A beatie
In life
Is
A pleasure 
Indeed

MY DREAM



MY DREAM 

Woke up
From
A dream
Where 
Everything was
Green
And clean.

No trash 
Piling
About,
No unclean
Air
Being breathed
In or
Out.

Loads or
Trees
Giving a
Welcoming 
Shade
As the sun
Shines
Overhead.

Clean waves
Rolling
In on
Dazzling sands..
And lush
Hills
Untouched 
By man...

Oh what
A dream
I had!

THE THOUGHT


THE THOUGHT

A thought
Crawled 
Into my
Mind.

It was
A thought
So fine.

One that
Rivals 
All others.. 
.
I mulled
It over
And
I had 
To smile
For the
Thought
Wad one of
A kind.

I decided
To
Act on
It.

That is
What
I've been 
Doing 
By writing
This Poem!

THE CHALLENGE


THE CHAKLENGE

A challenge 
I set
Myself.
To write 
A rhyme.
In the 
Shortest
Possible 
Time.

Setting 
My quill
To parchment,
I began
The task.

Time ticked
By
As I wrote.. 

Tick, tick
I heard 
Time's
Clicking
Heels.

It had
Reached
Near
The designated
End time
As I 
Scribbled
The poetic
Lines.

At last
I was
Done...
The race
I won!

A LOVELY DAY



A LOVELY DAY

Lovely day
Began
With a
Smile.

A soft
Spoken
Word,
Between
Mother 
And child.

The lovely 
Day
Saw many
Plans
So, a fun
Day
Was set!

Singing songs
Telling
Stories.
Going on
Strolls.
Licking
Raspberry 
Lollies.

Having fun
Food
And juice.

Walking along 
The
Watera
Building dreams
In the
Sand...

Making wishes
At sunset
Then getting
Tucked
Into bed.

Lovely day
Draws to
A close
With a
Happy sigh
Between 
Mother and
Child!

IN DREAMLAND



IN DREAMLAND

In dreamland
I am 
A princess
And
I wander
With
My
Ladies in 
Waiting.

Looking
For adventure
Seeking
Fun.
Meeting
Princes
Along the
Way
And breaking
Their
Hearts.

I am
A free
Spirit
With nothing
To bind
Me.

Oh to be
A princess 
Is fine
Indeed!

Riches
Galore
Along with
Folks
Who me
Adore 

The life
Of a
Princess 
Is never
A bore 

Especially 
In dreamland 
Where being
A princess
Is
So grand!

ABSENT MINDED


ABSENT MINDED

She sang 
And danced
Happily.
She was
Going
On a
Trip.

Her bags
Stood
Packed
Full of
All she
Would 
Need.

Nothing 
She'd 
Miss.

Dressed
In a
T-shirt
And jeans,
She steut
About
Like a
Queen 

The day
Was
Twenty-four
Hours
Away,
The day
Of her
Leaving.

She hailed 
A cab
And got in.
To the
Train station
She 
Said
Laughing
And singing!

I'm going
Away
From this
Place
On a 
Long, long
Vacation.

At the station
She got
Off...
No bags,
No money
No purse.

The cab
Driver
Demand
His fare
And when
She 
Couldn't pay
He drove
Her right 
Back!

Absent minded
She unpacked
Staying 
Where she 
Was
After all!
