Morsels and Treats

The second we bite into those crispy brown shells
all the ingredients start to flow out pell mell
Our mouths become flooded with the essence of cheese
its softness enables us to swallow it with ease
There's spice provided by the tasty baked beans
the vegetables range for the color red to the color green
There are just so many shades and flavors
too many to appreciate, too many to savor
But sometimes, I think good food is our greatest joy
when bored in the kitchen, it becomes our favorite toy
And there's never any harm in attempting to experiment
though it could produce a dish you heartily resent
You could try to make home made ice-cream,
and end up with just ice
or you could try to make a Mexican platter,
and end up with just rice
But honestly, without tasty food where would we all be?
Where would be the diversity in what we smell and see?
It could be prepared by a culinary chef, or made by yourself,
it could be made by an experienced cook,or a child of months twelve
Yet every little morsel that we devour
it could be anything- sweet spicy or sour
provides us (at least, me) with unlimited pleasure
our delight becomes seriously challenging to measure
And of course, as you probably all got to know,
my favorite dish is definitely the crunchy taco
But the problem with good food is its ephemeral taste
and its anxiety to leave our mouths in a hurry, post haste
Thus for most people, books or sports may seem a real treat,
but to me, a real treat is something delightful to eat

Mythical Creatures

While angels soar way above the sky
in the atmosphere, most leprechauns and fairies fly
Trolls and unicorns thrive well on the ground
and in different places can dragons be found
And this is all I really have to say
they're all unique in their very own way

Benevolent, guardian spirits, celestial beings at birth
which play as the intermediary between heaven and Earth
Depicted with a halo, and bright bird-like wings
they encircle the throne of living creatures and like to sing
Angelic, dedicated faces, in long robes of white
which take up various forms of breathtaking, glowing light
Next, are creatures that steal, bellow and roar
do trolls, derived from Scandinavian folklore
that dwell in isolated caves, mountains and rocks
very malicious, but their being dimwitted makes them easy to mock
With eyes that are active only during the swallowing night
as they rapidly turn to stone whenever exposed to light
Now we shall move on to the woodland animal- the unicorn
that since antiquity, has been described with a single, spiraling horn
A white, horse like, creature, with cloven hooves and considered wild
but being a symbol of purity and grace, its nature is extremely mild
Its ability to heal any sickness has portrayed it as tender
and poisoned water to potable, it can magically render
But though these creations are delightful to imagine
nothing is more interesting than the fire-breathing dragon
The portrayer of power, strength, good luck and pleasure
that jealously guard a cave of invaluable treasure
Its serpentine traits have made it possess multicolored scales
which shine brightly when read out in popular Chinese tales
Now, it's all about a few sweet, kindly creatures
which in myths and legends, they frequently feature
Normally, their being shrewd makes it simple for them to find
children around the globe who they can switch with their own kind
It's the fairy, with their beings also known as a 'changeling',
But now let's go on to creatures which, good luck they always bring
or the mischievous, Irish fairy or also the leprechaun
which by the time you figure out their tricks, they'll be long gone
Shown wearing an apron, a red cap and depicted as rather short
passionately fond of drinks, music and sport
As their occupation, its shoes and footwear they make and mold
and store their savings at the end of the rainbow- in a pot of gold

While angels soar way above the sky
in the atmosphere, most leprechauns and fairies fly
Trolls and unicorns thrive well on the ground
and in different places can dragons be found
And this is all I really have to say
they're all unique in their very own way

Rides

The second those exquisite, attractive gates close,
all light is extinguished, the brightness and the glows
Before you know it, through darkness we hurtle,
speed exactly opposite to that of a turtle
Our vehicle takes alarming twists and curves,
simultaneously making its passengers swerve
It's impossible to  be oblivious to everyone's shouts
as we follow uncharted and unknown routes
At one point, we even travel upside-down
consequently, our thoughts are being tossed around
Our eyes are being assaulted by freezing, cool air,
while speed is loosening and tangling our hair
At another point, the cart and our heartbeat gradually begin to slow,
but the vehicle continues to rock to and fro
And all of a sudden, we're off again, and the speed has doubled
this little adventure means business- to give us trouble
Cross, we decide to finally shut tightly our eyes,
and that putting our head down low will definitely suffice
We can hear our friends screaming, smiles on their face
withstanding the ride with such good grace
Finally, finally, it slows, coming to a stop
we cautiously look up, and our ears go *pop*
We walk into the sunlight unsteadily, coming out a daze
our surroundings seem alien, yet our friends seem unfazed
Now very annoyed, we look back, and we sighed
and said to ourself- what an amazing roller coaster ride

How....

How clouds in the heavens make patterns,
how rings display the beauty of Saturn
How sand in the desert makes dunes,
how music notes combine to form tunes
How blues coalesce to form the sky
how wings come together to make us fly
How a river cuts into a canyon like a snake,
how icing sticks layers to form a cake
How peace stems from war between two states,
how forthrightness can always prevent hate
How waves clash tips to make the sea
how passion tells us who we want to be
How fibers weave together to form silk
how white from all sides looks like milk
How memories blend to create inspiration
how history speaks for itself to form a nation
How the galaxy started off as a spark
how the atmosphere suddenly changes in the dark
How simple words can set someone ablaze
how simple words can easily turn into praise
How plumage can embellish a single feather
how a sudden downpour can alter the weather
How the world makes lonely a girl,
and how the universe makes lonely the world
