PAPER BAG FREE
A paper bag
Rides
On the wind...
It is
Pretty
And it
Knows it!
To all
It waves.
A sign
Of how
Friendly
And free
It truly
Is!
The other
Bags
Do not
Bother, though...
They are
Weighed down
By heavy
Loads,
Troubles
Of their
Own...
How they
Desire
To ride
On the wind
Too
It shows on
Their faces...
To leave
Behind, their
Worries
For the
Others
To carry ...
The paper
Bag
Riding high
On the
Wings of
The wind,
In life
It dropped
Every
Troubling
Thing!
The others
Know
This
And they are
Tempted
To do the
Same...
One never
Knows
They may
Well
One day
Throw all
Cares away
To ride
The wind
Waves!

AGE OLD LOVE STORY
Roiling waves
Crash
And break
Upon
Rocks so
Hard.
As each
Falls apart
I watch
With tears
In my heart!
The waves
They are
Ripples
In the veil
Of the
Mermaid
Bride!
Oh how
Will she
Ever
Walk down
The aisle?
The groom
Awaits
Radiant
In gold...
He shines
His passion
For all to
See.
His love
Lifts
Every romantic
Being!
The two
Meet
Every twilight.
The sun
And the
River bride!
A mere
Mortal
Such
As me,
Lose
Myself
In their
Age old
Love story!

LETTERS
Your letters
Are words
Alive
On a page...
I look forward
To one
Because
I can feel
Freedom
Call to me
Like
A bird
In a cage!
You write
To me
Making me
Smile...
It is something
I haven't
Done
In a while!
I read every
Word you scrawl
Yes I know
It means
A lot.
Letters
Can
Make and break
Lives...
I hope you
Choose
What is right...
Never crush
This poor
Heart
Rather, fill
It always
With delight!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
YOU DON'T KNOW ME
Judge me
Not
By what
You see...
I could be
A pearl
Within two
Shells...
Or maybe
Even a
Diamond
The kind
You have
Never before
Seen!
Do not
Pity
Me
No, don't...
Save the
Sympathy
For those
Real needy!
I am
In my own
Right,
A marvelous
Wonder!
I make
Jaws
Drop
And minds
Ponder
Things
They thought
They knew
About me...
I am ever
Evolving
A one
Of a kind
Human being!

LAUGH ON
Laughter
What a
Beautiful
Sound...
Like tin̈kling
Of bells
And
The music
Of seashells...
It is
The tune
Of a roar
And it is
Like the
Chirping
Of birds...
Laughter is
Like
Ice in a
Crystal bowl.
Undeniably
Musical!
Oh laughs
And giggles
Even snorts,
One can
Never have
Enough of!
The world
Is too
Cold
Too mean
And upsetting.
Hence
Laughter
In every
Good form
Must find
Its place
In minds
And hearts
Of all
Human
Living beings!

TAKE A MOMENT
It's all
A race.
From the
Moment
We come
To life
Awake.
We are
Told to
Decide,
To
Think
No, we
Can't go
Through
Life
On whim!
I ask
Why
Not?
For I believe
Too much
Thinking
Makes
Our
Heads
Drop
And our
Eyes
Close.
Yes
Way too
Much thinking
Makes us,
Before
Our time
Old!
Oh it's
All a
Race.
When will
We
See
Life
In a
Relaxed
Unhurtied
State?
Think lightly
On it
I ask you
Do not
Overload
Your poor
Brain!
Live life
Not
The race!

DANCING
I slipped
On
My dazzling
Shoes
And
Did some
Real
Smooth
Moves...
The music
Began
To play
And
I waltzed
And swayed!
No arms
Held me.
No partner
Led.
I held
Thin sir's
Shoulders
Effortlessly
As
I moved
My dazzling
Dancing
Shoes!
I heard
Cheering
And loud
Cheer...
I was
The world's
Best
Dancer.
This is
How it's done.
One needs
Only
A pair
Of shiny clad
Feet
To be
The greatest
Dancing
Feat!
