Roann Mendriq Poems

All night it rained, in sheets it poured,
Lightning flashed and thunder roared;
I trembled for my garden trees,
that shuddered in the icy breeze.
...

There lives a spirit in the skies
as fickle as a feather;
She chooses to shock & surprise,
as whimsy as the weather!
...

Though each of us fights a battle within,
God chooses a few who know how to win;
These chosen few are a class set apart,
Spiritual soldiers, warriors at heart.
...

There's something I must tell you, you ought to know it too,
You have to eat your veggies, they're very good for you!
Last week I ate a pizza, with a lot of melted cheese,
My tummy ached for two days, that's a horrible desease!
...

Joyful clusters, drops of gold,
drenched in shining summer rays,
blithely dance, how uncontrolled,
swaying in the summer's blaze.
...

An Indian Summer's fiery Queen,
the Gulmuhar reveals her face,
glowing amber gilt edged green,
veiled in tatted crimson lace.
...

Sitting curled up by my window,
Watching raindrip cleanse the pane;
As the waves lash on the seashore,
My troubles start to slowly wane.
...

Just a few drops of water,
helps a baby bud to bloom;
A tiny little candle flame,
dispels darkening gloom.
...

On my way to work each day,
I pass a stretch of wasted land;
Where wicked weeds are lead astray,
growing wildly and unplanned.
...

Walking through my old bazaar,
I see curious delights;
I'd hate to take the bus or car,
and miss such heart-warming sights...
