THE RAINBOW
...and there
Was
A rainbow...
A gorgeous
Seven lane
Road.
Each lane
A different
Hue...
Oh to walk
On
Which would
I choose?
Surely
A tough
Choi e
To make
I pondered
Over it
Hoping
The rainbow
Wouldn't
Face.
It stayed
So
I stepped
On it
And walked
Across
Across
The colored
Street...
With each
Step
I saw
A dream
Come true.
Seven dreams
In Seven
Hues!
Hurrrah!
Such joy.
I has done
It and
Reaching
The end,
I'd found
Gold!
I heated
It up,
The pot
Of gold
And dashed
Back Across,
Back to
Earth.
Infinity richer
Then
When I'd
Left
To walk
On the
Rainbow!

PROUD BLOOMS
The flowers
Sat
In a vase
Looking pretty...
All who
Upon
Them gazed
Admired
Deeply
Their beauty.
They were
Proud
As they
Stared
Abput.
We are
Beautiful
They sang
To each
Other
Praising
Themselves
One
After the
Other.
Such
Arrogance
In the
Blooms,
It was
Almost
Unbelievable...
It all
Came
To a sudden
Halt, though...
The flowers
Were thrown
Away
For one
Single
Rose!

THE WINKS
I thought
I saw
The moon
Wink
At me.
I couldn't
Be sure
So I kept
Looking
At it.
Sure enough
It winked
Again.
This time
In definite
Flirtation!
I blushed
Deep
Turning
Shyly
Away...
The moon
Watched me
With a
Smile
On its face.
A rush
Of
Feelings
Coursed
Through
Me...
I desired
To kiss
The moon
You see.
I turned
My face
Upward
Lips puckered
Ready
To kiss
But the
Object
Of my
Crush
Had vanished
Behind
A cloud
Of dark..
Wait, I whispered
Let us
Kiss.
That's when
Dawn
Caressed
My lids.
I knew
Then
It had
All been
A flattering
Dream!

THE WHITE PAGE
.
A blank
Page
Stared up
At me.
It was
Inviting...
Come, it
Said
Fill me
With
Your writings.
I thought
About it
Wondering
If my
Scribbles
We're fair
Enough
To fill
The
Whiteness.
Oh, come
Now
Don't hesitate
I'm waiting
For you
To jot
Down
Your say.
The page
Spoke again
I nodded
Okay
And started
To pen
My thoughtful
Rhyme
Onto the
Page so
White!

WHILE IT RAINED
It rained
It poured
And all
The while
Booglie Boo
Stored.
Fast asleep
Next
To me
Booglie
Talked in
His sleep.
Tickle me
Pink
Tickle me
Blue
Tickle me
In every
Hue...
I sat up
Puzzled
Having no
Idea
Of what he
Was
On about.
I curl
My toes
Indeed
My whole
Self
Into a
Ball...
I'll roll
Around
So you can
Tickle me
Not!
I realized
Booglie was
Talking
About
Our game...
I laughed
Quietly
As I leaned
In to
Hug him.
In my
Arms, he
Woke up
Eyes heavy
With
Sleep.
Oh goody
Mumbled
Booglie
Let us play
The Tickle
Game.
I smiled
As I nodded
Yes
But first
Let's get
Some sleep
You and I.
In agreement
We cuddled
Together
The rain
Kept falling...
Soon we were
Tickling
Each other!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
THE SET TIME
Fifteen
Minutes
To pen
Down
A poem.
Not just
Any
Poem
But one
To boggle
The mind
And touch
The soul.
The sun
Was
Rising
While
The sky
Blushed.
She felt
The warm
Embrace
Of dawn
Around
Her
Warming
Her whole.
Such a
Sight..
Two lovers
Meeting
To share
A quiet
Revelation!
Oh i loved
What I
Saw...
It took
My breath
Away
Even though
I didn't
Know
What the
Revelation
Waa.
I wrote
It down
In a
Rhyme
All under
Fifteen
Minutes
Of time!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
TOGETHER
They sat
Together
Each
With their
Thoughts...
One felt
Joy
While the
Other
Bored.
One's mind
Raced through
A bright
Future.
The other
One
Paused
On the
Moment
They were
Together.
Where to
Now?
Was one
Thought.
Oh what
A lovely
Future
Was the
Other!
Thoughts
Dreams
Crossed
Paths,
Never once
Meeting
One another.
Clearly
The two
Were opposites
Yet
Perfect
For one
Another.
Together
Their world
Was
Brighter,
Happier
As each
Guided
The other!
