Rice water dreams,
chase inner screams,
makes visions calm,
with homemade balm.
Coffee bean thoughts,
pour wars she fought,
lessons were strong,
to tune her song.
Coconut cream,
helps patience stream,
eases her mind,
clear hopes align.
Wrinkles of times,
ironed with lime,
through every trial,
she wore a smile.
Sugar cane beams,
unravel schemes,
offers free will,
happiness spills.
Sweetens bright days,
laughs pave her way,
sleeps well each night,
heart holds delight.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

I love this interpretation of the image! Your rhymes are very strong too and I like how you used them. Out of curiosity, do you ever write long poems without rhyme?
Thank you so much. Yes , I do wwrite long poems without rhymes but choose to not publish them as of yet, maybe someday. I do enjoy writing rhymes more though. 💕😊💕
Maybe someday 😊 But good on you for mostly doing what you enjoy.
