A rainbow took my breath away
Whilst on a train one summers day
Her vibrant arc I was in awe
Though folk beside me never saw
With heads bowed low they missed the show
The screens their windows, don’t you know
All Mother Nature’s flawless gems
Score well below the latest trends

Whole people know my story
Feel terribly not so sorry
Made a crazy poems about myself
Just want to put them on my shelf.
Here’s another poem from my lips
Giving lessons from my trips
I’ll keep on writing till end of the day
Though I’ll not receive any good pay.
I can write thousands of words
Write something about your precious Lords
Spend a time right here at my side
My mind is writing from my deepest inside.
It’s not about glory or fame
A passion burning that is so hard to tame
Whether I have good poems or bad,
It’s only way for me not to get sad.
They called me incredible “Lei Strauss”
One who keeps trying and bagging the cross.
I won’t be blinded by your light
All I know my poems are getting to right
the garland braved the ocean’s crested might
a narrow surfboard bobbed in and out of sight
exotic waves welcomed currents and its spray
a feast of skill and courage at Waimea Bay
I tried it once but could not go the distance
fell off and had to swim despite my insistence
I looked towards land ahead and checked behind
hoped that strength stamina and luck were kind
gulped water from above and sand down beneath
surrendered prayed and touched the sacred wreath
a dolphin waved her fin and gave me a kind ride
the moral of the tale is you must check the tide
