Short Serena Poems

Watching Serena play tennis
Whilst sipping a pint of Guinness
I heard someone plead
Donald Trump should lead
His Fake News Parade in Venice...

Quarta-feira 
serena e franca,
na dança 
da semana, 
a leveza 
se instala,
com menos, 
vamos longe, 
sem cansaço
menos é 
riqueza, 
nesta quarta
o olhar se 
ilumina, 
com menos, 
nessa jornada
é mais e mais....

...Nos negócios 
e na vida
Não fique
em terreno plano! 

...Nos negócios 
e na vida SEJA GRANDE.
Não importa o mês que acaba
Outro começa.

...Nos negócios 
e na vida
Concentra-te, 
e serás serena e forte. 

...Nos negócios 
e na vida
faça sempre
um pouco mais!

Um pouco mais
Hoje 
E sempre
terá toda a lua e 
todas as estrelas!...

Opponents of the favorites
Have a handicap, for sure,
Since every error that they make
Just sets the crowd a’roar.

In tennis, fans are loyal, 
Cheering those they love the best,
Which makes players ‘cross the net
Feel kind of down and even stressed.

As I watched the U.S.Open,
When Serena took the court,
I felt bad for those who faced her,
Getting zero crowd support....

Serena is floating on the waters of life
unhurried 
unworried

Her body in joyful repose
Every muscle and tendon open and relaxed
she flows as easily as the breeze twinkles the leaves

Others watch in amazement
as she glides effortlessly in and out of this world
her spirit deciding

Whether it is time to go or to stay
Death, just another water
where she will drink

when ready…....

Serendipity, sun do smiles
European titles in mind
Royally, I was at Garros 
England, Wimbledon, my crowns
Nigh, the glory from Aussies
Arthur Ashe, the home in honour 

When honours came calling
In contrast to their aims
Love the game, win to claim
Like Masada, majestic in beauty
In its flowers engraved my name
Angel, egg, the game I play
My hands the world is laid
Serena, my name is the game...

Inside the decorated house there's peace
Snow seems an added charm of fantasy
Wondrous scenery of erect pines spark glee
Ornaments sparkle with shimmering ice
Romina fondles infant red-cheeked Jack
Dancing the star-shaped snowflakes gleam
Serena sets up the freshly-cut Christmas Tree
Sipping hot chocolate with sweet whipped cream
Puppies look outside and run wild like cats

Sabedoria da Calma e da Vida

Nesta década que se finda,
Em tempos de pandemia,
Nas décadas que vão chegar
A pessoa que fica calma 
diante de todas as adversidades da vida 
mostra sabedoria.

Em todos os tempos
as pessoas que evitam
a manifestação de grande felicidade 
ou grande lamento, 
em relação a qualquer acontecimento, 
em vez disso, usufruir sempre o presente 
da maneira mais calma e mais serena
mostra a sabedoria da calma e da vida....

Cold truth be told,
rolled out hard:
marred by inelegant rules,
barred from a silky smooth flow.
Drooling, fanatical ghouls,
foolishly ignoring school,
add to the mess that they had:
bad gone to worse; it’s just sad!
Cold truth be told,
rolled out hard,
but I’m no bard.

Sereno

“uma pessoa de sucesso
está visível com a imagem serena
dirigindo um carro potente”

Certas pessoas, 
picadas pela mosca da carreira 
e pela competição global, dão a
impressão de pessoas motivadas 
dirigindo carros “mil”.

Sweet, sweet Serena Claire
With your tiny arms reaching
An heavenly soul can’t hardly bear
To show you all her teachings.

As your blue eyes are staring
Looking up, filled with wonder 
Hers looks down watching 
And admiring you over and over.

Your presence on earth
Will be sheltered in love
Every step that you taketh
She will guide from above.

Sweet, sweet Serena Claire
The world’s at your feet
Her prayers now to God
Is that you’ll live life complete....
