HER WISH!
Making a
Wish
She blew
Out the
Candles
Cutting the
Birthday
Cake.
It was
A wish
Unlike
Any other
She'd ever
Made.
There was
Cheering
Along with
Clapping
As the birthday
Song
Got sung...
She smiled
Through
The camdles'
Smoke.
Soon
She'd be
A fun
Ghost!
Everyone
Had cake
And sipped
Wine...
A midnight
Party
With guests
Of all kinds!
Just before
Dawn
All bid
Farewell,
Good luck
Returning
To their
Beds.
Our birthday
Girl
Tòo
Slipped under
Covers
And soon
Fell asleep
Alongside
Mate
Dracula!
She was
Sleeping
When
The sun
Rode the
Day
And awake
When
The moon
Shone again!

THE BREEZE AND ME
There I
Was
Dancing
Freely.
The music
Was
Birdsong
My companion
The breeze...
We danced
And sang
Together
With
The birds
Buzzing
Bees!
My Ladies
In waiting
Watched
And cheered
Me
On,
As they
Too
Danced
Alongside
The gentle
Wind
And me.
Loud,
They sang
In harmony
As I
Danced
In the
Garden
Late in
The eve!

DECEPTION
Asleep
He was
Dreaming
Ot
His girl.
So pretty
And sweet
With a
Smile
To die
For.
She made
The man
Never
Falter
In his
Heart's
Say.
Love
True
Love
Is all
The man
Felt for
The girl
He dreamed
Of
Their
Future,
So perfect
Just like
Her smile,
Yes, he
Knew
They'd be
Happy
For Long
Whiles!
She loved
The man
Too
And hoped
Fervently
That her
Smile
Was made
Of
False teeth!

POETIC PRISM
Heard a
Whispered
Joke.
Laughed
So loud
The silence
Broke.
A Thousand
Shards
Of
Quiet
Scattered
At
My feet...
I watched
The pieces
Shimmer
In the
Candle light
Crystal diamonds,
What a
Sight.
I picked
A shard
Carefully
So as to
Look
Through
It...
Such a
Pretty
Prism
Of
A poem!
Closing
My eyes
I wished
Three times
To be
Therein
Within the
Prism
Inside the
Rhyme!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
FUN COMPANY
I stared
At a
Painting.
It was
Uniquely
Beautiful.
There was
A garden
And
Many blooms
Along
The sides
Of
Burbling
Brooks.
The birds
Sang
Cheery
Songs,
At times
They joked
And talked
I listened
Amused
To it
All...
The tress
Were tall
And on
Them
Lived
Squirrels...
They all
Made
Fun
Company
In the
Garden
For
Me.
I kept
Watching
Until
We all
Fell
Asleep!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
BOOFLIE AND I
Heard the
Shower
Come on
And a
Whistling
Tune.
In my
Sleepy
State
I wondered
Who
Was
Getting cleaned
Up.
I knew
My shower
Gel
Would
Most likely
Be
Used...
Sure enough
I caught
The whiff
Of it
Coming from
The bathroom.
I sat up
Rubbing
Sleep away...
I slipped
Out of
Bed
Tiptoeing
To the
Bathroom
Door.
Peeking in
I felt
Giggles
Bubble inside
Me.
There he
Was,
The one
And only
Booglie!
Bathed,
Fresh and
Clean.
I picked
Him
Up
Toweling
Him dry.
Then we
Both
Curled
Up
In bed
Falling
Asleep
Instantly...
My Boogle
And I!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
THE FAIRYTALE
Heard a
Story
That
Enchanted
Me.
It brought
A smile
To my
Lips,
A blush
To my
Cheeks,
A shiver
Down
My spine!
It was
A romance
Tale.
Set in
The heart
Of
Love,
On the
Island
Of
Passion.
What a
Story
It was...
I found
Myself
Living
Every line
Of
The fairytale.
Me the
Princess
Of the
Recharging
Tale!
