The Lady I Adore
Gazing at the moon,
Posing from the Balcony,
Wearing the richest costume,
And a charming smile.
Humming like a mermaid,
In a romantic way,
Feet tapping rhythmically.
For a love-song of some sort.
Whom she’s looking for,
And her notions?
I’m eager to know,
‘Cause she’s
The lady I adore
Poem of the Month 
Short Sweet Dream
Kept me in afine frame of mind,
A sensation of some kind.
I admire you and I’m happy as kings,
Sure, I’ll fly if I had wings.
I compare you to a rainbow,
Decorated in colours ‘Magnificant Seven’ VIBGYOR.
You ‘re like a vanishing dew-drop on a leaf,
Sparkling elegance, far beyond a man’s belief.
‘Tis similar to a bubble in the air,
Which bursts before you say, ‘Hey! look there.
It won’t be in vain,
If I tell you, I lov’ to see you agian.
I hope and pray,
That you may come true one fine day.
I was disturbed by the morning sunbeam,
But, hat’s off to you my worthy dream.
Though you stayed with only for a while.
A BIG TANK Q in a real Yankee style.
