By Michelle Parker ___________________________________________________________________________ Daydream Walking down the road In my blue suede shoes, Another nine to five I’ve got the Monday blues. My mind still at home in bed Wrapped in satin sheets, Dreaming of Tequila And a cool sea breeze. With sunshine all around me Grass shimmering Emerald green, Skin sunkissed by the sun Looking a toxic Tangerine. The ocean sparkling like fairy lights Above is clear sky blue, Flowers the colour of violet rose A bikini day is due. Lying on a sun lounger Eating watermelon, A good read on my lap And sipping zesty lemon. Beaches full of laughter And California girls, Starfish washed up on the beach With coral reefs and shells. A taste of acid apples A grey haze fills my mind, I realise I am daydreaming I won’t be at work on time. I envy all the people Who have jet off into the sun, Not one snowflake will land upon them Not a thing will spoil their fun.

I feel the need for a Popsicle. The heat wave beating through the sunshine and the blue sky's, I sit and read my book for the love of grey and I dream of the clear sparkle night and the cold woo woo's us girls will drink and we dance the night away to staying alive, before then reaching my satin sheets and sleeping the morning away. By Clare Thomas ___________________________________________________________________________ One sunmers morning during a heat wave, I was dreaming of an emerald sunset sipping on pink cosmo and flirtini cocktails, dipping my feet into the coral reef starfish and seahorse swimming around my toes!

When I think of summer, I think of Sunshine and warm sunny days Fresh Green Grass in Bluebelle meadows and Scarlett Sparkles of red roses. Children playing outside in the Heat Wave, eating Popsicles and fresh Watermelon. A Grey Haze from the Smoke of the barbeque and cool glasses of lemonade with a Zesty Lemon & Lime Twist, some Ice Ice Baby which Clearly Sparkles in the sun. As a Jumbo Jet flies over me, sitting in the garden dreaming of a Sky Blue, sandy beaches and a Sea Breeze, a Bikini Day Sun Kissed with a Tequila Sunrise in my hand and a Natural Glow. Walking on the beach, swimming in a Coral Reef looking at a Starfish and Seahorse, at night looking up at a sky So Pink and a Blue Moon, how I Envy those people on that plane. I sit here now with my Strawberry Cupcake, jolted back to reality and remember that it is Sunday and tomorrow it’s back to the Nine to Five and Coffee Run, I have the Monday Blues.

By Carina Santos ___________________________________________________________________________ I need urgent care for my hardworking hands and revived feet on which to stand... Your renowned from London to "California Girls" so come recommend some gels and tell... Should it be "Fairy Lights" for those crazy nights or "Bubblegum" for that little bit of fun... Maybe "Jet" Black is the best mode of attack; or "Woo woo White" will look best on the night... No matter the product there's only one brand I'll choose "Gelaze" by Essential Nails; I promise you cannot loose. By Maria Pollard ___________________________________________________________________________ Beyond The Imagination Her walls lit up with a scarlett sparkle as she turned off the fairy lights, But as she slowly closed her eyes she was completely surrounded by white. A freezing cold snowflake had dropped upon her cheek, As the sea breeze made her smile with great relief. Her eyes shone like an emerald as the sunshine hit her face, A natural glow it glistened as down came purple rain. A group of creatures danced around -­‐ their skin was a sky blue, And with every step they took, a patch of green grass grew. She was given a basket that had a black cherry, The blue moon appeared and the rain was no longer heavy. An acid apple was fed to her -­‐ forced into her mouth, And the lilac wine she drank made her pass out. Once again surrounded by white, clearly sparkles, And her mother singing Ice Ice Baby caused her to be startled. Footsteps were heard as her mother called out "Heather", But she was asleep, and her mother whispered "You're my special diamond, and diamonds are forever" By Brooklyn Marangos ___________________________________________________________________________ Guild Award Celebration Day 2015 – Gelaze® Poetry Competition Summer holiday Relaxing on the green grass, sunshine on my face, starring at the blue sky, don't want to leave this place. Sun rays beaming down, giving me a natural glow, sunkissed all over, no longer pale like snow. To quench my thirst, a popsicle, black cherry, hits the spot, it's a kind of magic, hope this heatwave never stops. Enjoying every moment, i'm feeling so alive don't want to return to reality and that dreaded nine to five. By Debbie Marangos ___________________________________________________________________________ Stretched out on the beach with the"Monday blues" then I saw the "coral reef" beneath the deep blue sea! A hunky guy named "el diablo fiesta" walked by with the "sunshine" beaming on his "sun kissed hair" , with a welcoming "tequila sunrise" in his hands By Laila bryce ___________________________________________________________________________ Gelaze gelaze how art thou gelaze with a tequila sunrise and a sea breeze with a heatwave and sunshine and citrine too with fairylights and bluebelles and a sky so blue dont purple rain or give me the monday blues i just want a bikini day not a sky of grey haze.

X By Rosemary Souter ___________________________________________________________________________ The sunshine high, in the sky blue, The cows in green grass starting to moo, The sea breeze blows on the coral reef, A blue moons due, so I'll keep this brief. California girls chilling out in the sun, High flyers on the morning coffee run, Monday blues on the way out No grey haze flying about. The nine to five rush is in full flow, Children laughing with their natural glow Eating a popsicle, on a picnic blanket they lay Mums making the most of their bikini day The grey exec is his office of steele, It's a heat wave today it's so unreal, Eating sour grapes, with his silky tie, Four more days for his night flight goodbye. The envy of many, red ridinghood lies, Emerald rings and a tequila sunrise, Her sunkissed skin, the darkest brown, Her so pink lips not wearing a frown. The pink cosmo and flirtini girl, She's pale and interesting like a pink pearl The can clearly sparkles on the violet rose Like fairy lights where the bluebelle grows It's a kind of magic, and noone so vain, Than the lustrous girl standing in purple rain The rainbow so bright like a blueberry bomb In an agate dress awaiting her prom. Guild Award Celebration Day 2015 – Gelaze® Poetry Competition Dancing about in blue suede shoes, And pink kitten heels they love to cruise. He gets on one knee he feels so clever, As every girl knows diamonds are forever. Her peach cream skin, and a topaz ring Her happy pink cheeks she wants to sing, her hot rod red lips, drinking lilac wine, Jade's raspberry crush has made her feel fine. A young heart now shatters and breaks Tears on her cheeks like little snowflakes. Black cherry lips, on satin sheet skin, I love to love you baby,and then she jumps in. The onyx night pulls in with woo woo white stars. As ice ice baby plays in the bars. The powder pink girls getting out of work. Avoiding the moves of the el diablo jerk. With a scarlett sparkle in their eyes Making her move with acid apple tongue lies. The toxic tangerine cocktail making her thrive Like smoke on the water and stayin' alive Strawberry cupcake or whoopie pie hearts when sherry baby was still in the charts A little old lady with skin of nutmeg, Sits in the cold alone to beg. An amethyst seahorse around her neck The bubblegum people take a rain check Many of the look, having laughs and snorts Nobody knows she has a heart of rose quartz The night draws in, a zesty lemon moon, The pearlescence sky over too soon, The sea so blue, calm and serene, The new sun is rising, a beautiful citrine. The new day awakens red opulence dreams. But not everything is quite as it seems Watermelon seeds clutched in a fist, Planting new dreams, with a lime twist This gelaze poem has made me gloat I'm even adding in the top and base coat. And I'm wiping your smile off with that, As I'm going to make everything matte.... By Rachael Archard ___________________________________________________________________________ Guild Award Celebration Day 2015 – Gelaze® Poetry Competition Green Grass carpets her and colours glisten, sparkle and shimmer from her fingers as they catch the admirer's eye. Envy is what they feel as California Girls watch her hold her Popsicle in the Sunshine. Lusterous polish Cleary Sparkles as she tosses her head back against the Sea Breeze. Amethyst and Topaz, a Galaxy of colours to match her talons begin to decorate the Sky Blue. Zesty Lemon and Lime Twist tantalise her taste buds as she sips her Pink Cosmo. Emerald and Diamonds are Forever glint on her finger in the Tequila Sunrise, as he approaches wearing his Silky Tie. Pearlescence glows around her Pale and Interesting face as she caresses his Grey Exec suit. Onyx and Red Opulence glitter from her sculpted nails against the Natural Glow of his features, as she touches his face. Love to Love You Baby he whispers, taking her hand as a Jet begins its Night Flight in the sky. It's A Kinda Magic between them when he kisses her Black Cherry lips, then gazes into her eyes of Darkest Brown. Smoke plumes from the barbecues as the Heat Wave is enjoyed. High Flyer, that he is, once his Nine To Five is over, it is their love that keeps him Stayin' Alive.
