THE MEET
Saw her
After
Many a
Long Whiles.
Joy filled
My heart
As we
Sat
Chatting
Side by side.
We talked
Of the
Days
Of wonder
When I was
Small
And she,
Younger.
I said to
Her
That she
Hasn't
Aged
At all,
Still my
Bestie
Cousin.
We continued
Chatting
With pizza
In our
Mouths
Recalling
Yester
Days of
Sheer
Delight.
Ah, such
Moments
Of happiness
I felt...
I never
Wanted
Her to
Leave
But she
Had to
And she
Did.
With a
Promise
To return
Soon,
I let her
Go...
Oh, such
Glee
After so
Long,
Even
Time stopped
A little
To enjoy!

WORRIES GONE
Truly fun
It sure
Was,
For a
While
I forgot
Who I
Was.
I laughed
Away
Feeling
Free,
No longer
Bogged
Down
With worry.
I floated
On a
Cloud
Of fairness...
White
Fluff,
Nature's
Cotton candy
To be
On.
Such fun
I had
For sure
Like never
Before,
Joy so
Pure.
The while
Lasted
Long,
In fact
I'm still
In the
Zone!

AGAINST THE COOL
Cool morning
Wind
Blows in
Through
My window.
It's pleasant
But not
Very much
So.
I shiver
A little
Huddling
Deeper
Under
My sheets,
I want
To go
Back to
Sleep.
I hug
My dream
Pillow
To my being
Close my,
Trying to
Return to
Slumber...
I dream
Of warm
Fireplaces
And hot
Cocoa.
With a
Good read
In my
Hands,
The scent
Of which
Is
Romance.
Snuggling
Closer
To my
Dream pillow,
I'm asleep
To tne
Warmth of
A memory!

WHAT I DO
I was
Asked
About
What i do
After
Putting down
A poem
Every morning.
When I
Said
Nothing
It was
Assumed
I just
Idle the
Day
Away...
How can
They know
The work
It takes
To sift
Through
Every hour's
Moments
Picking
Just the
Right ones?
The ones
That
Ultimately
Inspire
The poet
In me
To
Pen rhymes...
It is the
Work
Of the
Heart and
Mind
Not visible
To the
Eye.
Ah, I'm
Busy
All day
Doing
The most
Important
Chores...
I read
My own
Thoughts
And feelings
Choosing
On the
Deserving
To be
Scrawled
Down
In a
Rhyme
The next
Day
At breakfast
Time!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
THE SPILL OVER
Giggles
And laughs
Abound
In the
House ..
Day and
Night
Laughter
Echoes
From
Inside out.
The breeze
Is gentle
Making
Leaves on
Trees
Dance,
The grass
Waltz
And the
Blooms
Open arms
Welcoming
Butterflies
To poise .
The sky
Above
Is a lively
Blue.
Ice cream
Clouds
Gather and
Scatter
In forms
That fuel
Imagination.
It's
All
Such a
Fantastic fascination.
Giggles
And laughs
Resound
In the
House
Where happiness
Lives...
It spills
Over
Outside,
Onto the
Grounds
And into
The sky!

TH3 MAGIC OF BREAKFAST
Saw a frown
As I
Woke up...
It was
The king
Ot all
Frowns.
I thought
For a
Moment
About
What could
Be wrong
But then
Decided
To shrug
The question
Off!
I rose
Going
On with
My routine,
Ignoring
The frown
Lurking
Beside
Me.
Before
Breakfast
I said
A prayer
That
The frown
Might
Disappear
Into thin
Air.
I dug in
Hungrily
Feeling my
Spirits
Lift.
The frown
Stayed out
Of sight
As planned
My day
Having
Coffee
A little
Later,
I stepped
Out
Witn a broad
Grin
On my
Face.
The frown
Had
Vanished
Into space.
Oh the
Magic
A good
Breakfast
Can do,
You've read
It
So, I don't
Need8
To tell
You!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
THE MARE
The sun
Was
High,.
The sky
A lively
Blue...
A cooling
Breeze
Blew.
The girl
With silver
Looks
Walked
About
Singing
Aloud...
Her voice
Paused
Traffic
And others
Striding
Along...
The song
Was
Her voice
And her
Voice
Was the
Song.
It was
About
Life
In the present
And in
The past...
Life in
The tomorrow
And how
Long it
Would
Last.
She danced
With
Every word,
With each
Line,
She pranced
On the
Road.
Such a
Gorgeous
Day
Went by
Happily
In wonder
Aa all
Watched
The dancing,
Prancing
Mare
Go About,
Around
Town.
The mare
Was a
Marvelous
Being
The likes
Of which
Had nevee
Before
Been
Seen!
