Roann Mendriq Poems

O little bit of sweet delight!
O airy little kiss of taste!
O pretty little biscuit bite!
That vanishes in genteel haste.

Christmas Birthday Cake
Armed with an apron, and dollops of cheer,
I set down to baking, 'round this time, last year;
Humming a carol, that lifted my heart,
...

Christmas was coming, Santa was down with a cold,
His coat was all damp, and covered with mould.
His sleigh needed painting, it was covered with soot,
And he just couldn't find, one shiny black boot.
...

The Father gave His sons the land,
He hoped and prayed they'd live in peace,
And He could never understand,
when their fighting did not cease.
...

Night-drops drip into the ocean,
turning blue to deep black ink,
In a quiet deep devotion,
Time to pray and softly think.
...

The skies are tremulous tonight,
Breeze is timid as it blows;
Maudlin waves sink deep in fright
A conch shell wails because it knows
...

When Mother Earth was but a child
she played with all that was her own;
With sea and air and wind blown wild,
she fashioned precious shell and stone.
...

Wedding trees
(Jasmine and Oak)

Jasmine tree bows low her branches,
...

Atop a verdant vibrant hill,
Temple bells ring out each hour;
and echo in the valleys still,
a gentle sound yet filled with power.
...

Tonight the sky is but a page,
dark with inky midnight blue;
Cloudy words fade grey with age,
Dimly lit with purple hue.
...
