NEVER THE SAME
Laughter
Rings out
In
The middle
Of silence.
It is
The sound
Startling
One
From reverie.
Whatever
Thought
Was unraveling
Itself
Stopped short
In its
Tracks!
The laughter
Strong
And contagious
Rings
Out true
Dispelling
The Thought
Of thoughts.
Very soon
Laughs
Ring out
Every
Which way...
The silence
Invaded
By the
Sheer
Insanity
Of the
Sane
Will never
Be
The same!

THE LONE ONE
The semi dark
Shrouds
The room.
She sits
With
Memories.
Life has
Dealt
Many blows.
They have
All taken
Their
Toll.
Sbe speaks
Naught
Of her
Hurt
Revealing never
What is
In her heart.
How she
Grapples
With the
Pain...
Oh, how
She
Plays the
Lonely
Game!
Yes,
Semi darkness
Covers
The room.
It is
Her living
Space
Until she
Fades away!

THE HUMAN RACE
Like blind
Men
We seek
Our way
In life.
Unsure
Of
Our goals
We
Our futures
Grope.
We try
This
Ans that
Never
Satisfied
With
What we
Get.
We are
The human race
Always
Looking
For the
Perfect
Life maze!

THE MERMAID
The mermaid
Sat on
Her rock.
It was her
Spot.
From there
The shore
She watched
Waiting.
Would her
Friends
Come
To spend
Time
With her
Before she
Went
Back
Underwater?
It had
Been
A while
Since
They'd met
But they
Had promised
Once she
Came up
They'd join
Her
For a time
Of fun.
The sunset
Was
Drawing near...
Light breeze
Ruffled
Her hair
The sun
Dipped
As day drifted
To sleep.
The mermaid
Left the.
Rock.
Alone and
Lonely
She went
Back
Into the
Deep!

MY NEW FRIEND
Footprints
In the
Wet sand
Make me
Feel
Less alone.
I watch
Them
To see
Where they
Go
So I
Might
Follow.
The waves
Kiss
The feet
Imprints...
Soon
They will
Disappear
Into the
Water.
I follow
The Footprints
Heart
Pounding
With excellent!
Perhaps
A new
Friend
I'll make
And a
New adventure
Awaits. .
I'm eager
To fine out
So, the
Footprints
I follow.
I step
On each
Print
And a
Perfect match
They are...
I'm leading
Myself
Along an
Adventurous
Trail.
I'm the
New friend
I've found
In life!

SUNRISE
The sun
Gently
Kisses the
Sky
Awake.
The time
To rise
Has
Come.
The horizon
Breathes
Deep
Blinking
Away
Sleep!
A new
Day
Has begun...
Dark races
To
Whisper
Dregs
Of dreams
To those
Yet
Asleep.
The race
Against time
The last
Sleepy
Sigh
Before
A new day
Is heralded
And the
Night
Slips by .
The sun
Embraces
The sky
At long last
Uniting
Itself
With Life!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
FIFTEEN MINUTES FAME
Fifteen
Minutes
It is
That I
Have,
To
Write a
Rhyme of
No
Consequence.
Funny words
On a
Page
Making me
Look
Deranged.
I took
This bet
Seriously
For I stand
To gain
Great fame!
To be
Famous
For writing
A poem
Of
No importance
In
Fifteen minutes
Or less,
Is a feat
In itself!
