“Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue” are the four parts incorporated in the book titled Relax. Part 1, Something Old, consists of selected poems from Half Full, Or Half Empty?, Poetry from Planet Earth and Gold and Glitter written by Ana Monnar. Part 2, Something New, is a section of poems that have not been published before this title. Part 3, Something Borrowed, consists of quotes and proverbs from long ago. Part 4, Something Blue, offers poems with the word blue appearing somewhere in the verse.
Ana Monnar has written poetry for young adults and children’s books. Relax is intended for a more mature audience. Some of the poems in Part 2 will be considered witty, gloomy, cynical, contemptuous, while others are inspirational. So relax and be ready to go on a journey that will provoke your emotions.
Therapist
This man was sent to a therapist
And started talking and blurting his guts out
To his surprise the therapist, told him to get undressed
Eye-opener did you say? The lady was a massage therapist
At the spa it was so relaxing
Aroma therapy played its role
The man felt like new as he left and thought
My wife was so thoughtful, what a gift to make me glow
What a nice calm, soothing, restful experience to the muscles and to the mind
Relaxing is so empowering
Plain and simple to the brain
During sunshine or torrential rain
Tatiana
Tatiana’s skin radiantly glows
Thanks to exercise and frequent cheer
– Jumps, stunts and tumbles
Laughs and giggles with her peers
Black long, silk curls as dark as night
Caress her shoulders with gentle strokes
The breeze feels crisp against her cheeks
Pearly whites will be noticed as she hears jokes
Polite, beautiful inside and out
Well rounded, friendly and kind
Tatiana will succeed and triumph
A girl so sweet and brilliant is rare to find
For him to give and not eat the candy
On Valentine’s Day about two years ago
It was plain and simple to see,
Tatiana, my son loved you so
Why Settle for Anything Less
Whirlpool of vivid imagination
Net mesh pulling emotions from the sea
Passion sizzling arousing dormant sensation
Excitement boiling kettle brewing tea
Crashing strong waves nearly drowning the bridge
Emotions, sentiments, feelings
Flowing swiftly along a narrow range of hills – to be exact, a ridge
Bargaining with the heart offering variable dealings
Bethought without a doubt lust with little weight just like dust
After weighing the pros and cons, living without turmoil is a must
Once the yearning is lost
Without love, trust, partnership and consideration a lifelong together will offer to great extent – disgust
Thank goodness that the flight to nowhere never took off
Due to concern and joint venture falloff
Everlasting love is built on a strong foundation full of love, trust, thoughtfulness and the gift of quality time spent together
Why settle for anything less
Why go down with the ship, get off while you still can
Otherwise the pain and grief later will be hard to endure
Spending the rest of your life with covered stars clouded – dark sky looking so very obscure
Murky waters turning darker than a deep tropical tan
