Would you marry me if you could
Should the stars align?
I'd take your hand if you said yes
And keep it safe in mine
We'd work as one in all we did
My love for you would shine
And as the days turned into years
I'll still be on cloud nine
Good morning, folks, welcome to my show.
Come rain or shine, I’ll tell you what you need to know.
Up north it’s raining cats and dogs; even farther up
toward the border there’s brewing a storm in a teacup.
But it will be lightening fast, yes, just a tease.
And after it has passed, everything will be a breeze.
In the central area, they’ll be chasing rainbows.
Not to steal the anchorman's thunder, that’s just how it goes.
Down south, they’ll take a rain check on the rain.
Incidentally, our governor is a weather vane!
My head may be in the clouds, but I predict tomorrow will be fine.
In fact, divine; in every region we’ll be on cloud nine.
March came in like a lamb, so I predict it goes out like a lion.
Tie your things down well; in the wind they may be flyin'.

For Matt Caliri's You're A Weather Forecaster Poetry Contest
Here’s idiomatic lines for nine.
Why does a stitch in time just save nine?
Why’s possession nine points of the law?
Indeed, why did the cat have nine tails?
Perhaps it’s because it had nine lives?
Why would someone go the whole nine yards?
Should cats and dogs be cats and canines?
Is this poem a nine days’ wonder?
If not, then I will be on cloud nine!

The wind is howling like a massive storm inside.
Can’t let it out, can’t hold it in.
Yes, I am fed up but don’t know how to flush it out.
Like I am entangled in the chocking ropes.
I know, it’s a difficult journey, I have to deal with it.
The fear is killing me, though I am sure I'll live it up.
I am sinking from dawn till shuddering dusk.
The result would scare me or would it be a good luck?
I turn around to see my hopeful beloved family,
Their love, their faith further scares me!
If I don’t make it! Would everything go away?
Yes, it scares…...I feel I am about to fray!
I am strolling in dark, maybe I will fall someday.
I wonder what will go away and what will stay!
Maybe I am finished, may be on cloud nine.
I worked hard; the success should be mine!
Every thing seems so lifeless and hollow.
Do you feel the vacuum around, which might swallow!
I want to be positive; I want to touch the stars.
For every dedicated student, I want to leave a mark.
I know this isn’t the end, lot more to go.
Lots of happy moments are waiting in a row!
Lots more to achieve, lots more to show.
STILL, why this heart thumps and why am I following the dark shadow!
At the drop of the hat
Let the cat out of the bag
Beat one's head against the wall
be at someones beck and call
Keeping one's eye on the ball
have a whale of a time
Blow someone's mind
With this idioms rhyme
Be on cloud nine
as you vale your tears
then Bend your ears
fear has no colors
At an arm's length
you have a tower of strength
leave one to ones fate
head over heels
feeling all you fee
Crimson sunrays falling on the glass
Is an awesome sight but dazzle alas
Your very presence my love does the same
You've changed me you can claim
We will remain in our heaven, only that will be fine
Remaining here we will be on cloud nine
Just us none to bug or bother
Loving moments we'll rather gather
You are my world the rest I'm not concerned
Yours is the attention I want and earned
Lets be quick n tie the nupital knot
Know this, yours is the love I' ve always sought.
Full circle, karma comes around 360 degrees.
When this happens, they'll be brought to their knees.
They have to answer for all they have done.
Stealing everything from her and her sons.
Always preaching, with such righteous indignation.
All their false modesty and sense of elation.
At this moment, they may be on cloud nine,
But as the Lord sayeth, "Vengeance is Mine!"
Say it once…
And I’ll be happy.
Say it twice…
And it’ll sound sappy.
Say it three times…
And I’ll just think of you.
Say it four times…
And I’ll just dream with you.
Say it five times…
And I’ll never whine.
Say it six times…
And I’ll be on cloud nine.
Say it seven times…
And I’ll be speechless.
Say it eight times…
And I’ll go breathless.
Say it nine times…
And I’ll fall for you.
Say it ten times…
And I’ll be in love with you.
