Best Happinessblue Poems
On an old bicycle, he pedals the streets
finding a steady supply of following feet
"Here comes the balloonwalla", in unison they scream
clamoring for the balloon of their dreams
Each one gets one at rupees five a piece
leaving a tiny little pair of hands empty
Just when tears well up disappointment droops
the balloonman with a flourish, downward stoops
Pulls out a little piece of blue with a twinkle in his eye
happiness smiles end to end as the balloon grows as big as the sky
Tiny hands cannot grab the big blue thing
so he ties it to the little finger with a string.

For Francine's contest 'Happiness is a balloon'
(the Balloonwalla is a man who sells balloons, on his bicycle is attached a pump to blow the balloons.)
cute blue bikini
bright blue with white polka dots
size twelve, thick chick kicks...
My hair is long and strong.
No gray yet, won't be I bet
For quite a while as I smile.
I wear pony tails and braids.
I used to dye it different shades.
Now it's natural medium brown.
Liked being a blond, but no frown.
Is better to be what I'm meant to
Be, just the way God made me. You
See it's unusual to have blue eyes,
Brown of the earth, blue of the skies.
Years ago I had very, very long hair.
Letting it keep growing, not a stare
At my braids and pony tails, I like it.
I wear it down too or just put in clip.
High above the clouds
Across the midnight blue sky
Where winds soar freely
~~
Where winds soar freely
Across the midnight blue sky
High above the clouds

“The answers are blowing in the wind, sometimes we have to soar a little higher
In order to reach the heights of listening”
