1. INTRODUCTION

This is the introduction to this poetry.

The rhyming poems are a commentary.

Writing’s a pleasure which for me took

Time to compose it’s the second book.

There’re five volumes and they speak of the

Places we go to, people we see and activity.

There’re written with pure rhyming and thee

Can again read them and surely them see.

In this volume there’re many poems about the

Ways in which you can turn any negativity

Into positivity and they may not relate to you.

However, just read them and they’re all new.

The poems in all five volumes are there for you

To read whenever you feel you’ve the time to.

For they’re meant to be read one at a time, too.

So, try to see what they say and that’s so true.

These poems are therefore complementary

And the rhyming in each one is elementary.

It has traits and circumstances to read, too.

I’m certain that the poems rings bells for you.

So, please read them all at your leisure

And then English learning’s a pleasure.

It’s now time to flick and then choose a

Poem to give you more meaning today.

2. BEING LOVED

Being loved is unlike anything that you

Experience in life and that’s so very true.

So, open yourself up and let it then be

What you feel in life and it’s a certainty.

The ways in which you show your love to me

Is interesting and it’s done by you so uniquely.

Let feelings infiltrate your whole body so you

Feel complete bliss and you know that, too.

A sense of rejuvenation

From all life’s aggravation

Happens when you love me.

You’re the angel I like to see.

Words and actions show you care.

I know that you’ll always be there

Because you love me so dearly.

Your love for me shows clearly.

When you love me, I feel great.

The stresses from life do abate.

Your touch and kisses make me

Feel alive and loved by thee.

I love being with you always.

There’re so many good ways

That you show your love to me.

Being loved makes me happy.

3. WITTY AND QUICK

You’re so witty and quick.

You’re not as thick as a brick.

You make the best of moments.

You’re good at making comments.

You’re great at doing what’s funny, too,

And I love being around the witty you

As you’re a comedic expert definitely

And it’s you that I always wish to see.

There’re many ways that we surely do

Connect and we’re both so quick to

Please each other and so me and you

Love being with each other, that’s true.

You’re funny that’s for sure.

Low moods you can cure.

You’re admired by us all.

We like giving you a call.

You’re very good at listening.

Your remarks are glistening.

You’re funny for sure as you

Like to crack a joke or two.

You interact quickly with wit

And all you then say does fit.

Thank you for being this way.

You now really make our day.

4. BLISSFULLY AWARE

You’re blissfully aware

Of everything out there.

You sense what’s now true.

You’re aware of all you do.

You’ve a lot of commonsense

When you feel things are tense.

Calm and wise is how you behave

And you’re certainly so very brave.

Being the way that you truly are

You can help others near and far.

For your awareness helps us all

When negativity we may befall.

The best things definitely about you

Is that you love everything, and you do

Have an awareness of all that’s in the

Realm of your existence, it’s a surety.

You take things in your stride.

You’re going along for the ride.

When others are so upset

You don’t with them fret.

Whenever you do anything

Calmness is what you bring.

For your blissfully aware

Of all that’s evident there.

5. BECOME SOMEONE GREAT

You can become someone who’s great

If you then work at that with full faith.

You’d recognized that life’s the same.

You now want to change the game.

There’re many ways to be great as you

Are naturally affiliated with all you do.

For you’re a great and naturally have the

Resources to do things so magnificently.

Look inwards to see what you

Want I recommend that you do.

Open yourself up to your will

And develop your inbuilt skill.

There’s something that you sense is true

And your awareness is now telling
