One Hundred Things I Like




Sunset skies and the summer's rain
A gentle drizzle on a sunny day,
A loving kiss when I feel the pain
And a hand to hold, while I walk my way.

A long, long sleep on my cosy bed
Blue satin skirts and a ringing bell,
I like the daffodils and roses red
Light green grass and fresh lime's smell.

Icecreams, chocolates and wafers too
Numbers, one and zero and four;
I like those colors, pink and blue
And that little pansy which grows at my door.     

A game of checkers and a bright sunshine,
Early morning's breeze and a drop of dew,
Floating clouds and a distant shrine,
A careless stroll and a hill top's view

The sound of waves and the  breeze on shore
Those scattered shells and fresh sand smells;
Pearls, corals and a lot many more,
Hot buns and candies which the old man sells.       

Butterflies , babies, doves in white ,
Fairies , angels and a sweet surprise  ,
Secrets, snow flakes and a full moon's night
Hot cakes, sweets, nuts and a wise advice

Little gifts, full bloomed flowers,garden green
Winter's night , a thick, red coat and Santa claus,
Irish landscapes, autumn pathways, a poetic scene
Calm boat rides , Eucalyptus trees and a nice applause.

Greeting cards, magic spells and a hand written mail ,
Cute erasers, blue ink pen and a clean, white sheet,
A holiday noon,  an old, wooden swing, and a fairy tale,
Almonds,  hot chips, lemonades and raspberry feast. 

My grandmother's lap, bed time stories, sweet, sweet dreams,
A tight embrace , good night kiss and the star lit sky
A melody tune , a friendly chat and  distant gleams,
Prayer  in silence,  soft whispers and the midnight sky. 

Grandfather's clock, piano and the season,Spring
A fishing rod, big, brown hat, a game to play,
A lazy day, when I listen to the cuckoos sing
My family and friends and the things, they say.

  A Wordsworth's work, an inspiring scene
  A sweet, little dream and my dream guy's smile
My pretty, deep fantasies, a mermaid queen 
And the precious rainbow that smiles a little while.


These hundred things and a many more too
To my heart, I hold them dear, its true !



Author notes

This is not just for the sake of writing, these are the hundred things I like. I managed to get them rhymed. Trust me, I did not invent the words to fit the rhyme but I made the rhyme to fit my words.

I have marked them 'bold' to make the count easier

    I LOVE this poem, it's SO creative!!!! I love rhyming poems, and this one is just so beautiful! And even though the rhythm is not consistent, the perfect flow easily covers that! (btw I'm not saying poems have to have rhythm) AWESOME poem!
