Hi Mace,

 

Is that one original? It would be refreshing to see some original

poetry posted here, rather than just Hafiz, Lalla and lots of other

stuff available all over the place.

 

If anyone has anything they composed, please post & don't be shy...

i'll start! :-)

 

~-~

 

a butterfly in the sky

and fluffy white clouds

blue sky and squirtguns

 

sandboxes and dinnertime

squealing with delight

running through sprinklers

 

snowcones and sodapops,

green, green grass

rolling down the hill

lawnmower tan so loud

smell of fresh mowing

 

looking in tidepools,

such colors, funny fish

and sea things, fresh air

limpets on rocks, mussels

 

waves overlapping, gently

wave crashes and tumbling,

rolling onto the shore,

sneezing out salty water

 

seashores and lakeshores

skies forever blue, clear

smell of good food cooking

 

marshmallow graham crackers

by the river, boiling water

in a rusty tin can clean

smoky campfire, green tents

warm sleeping bags, zipped

waking up so early, cold

breakfast by the fire eggs

wading through the river

slippery rocks, sliding

it wants to knock me down

deeper, shock of cold water

rises above my waist, eek

 

crossing into the woods

smell of green, moss,

pine trees, crooked trails

log with bugs inside it

big funny white mushrooms

needles crunching underfoot

 

laughter and good friends

holding a live frog, mushy

it wants to go! let it

 

looking up on the mountain

a dark night, so dark except

gorgeous white band of stars

milky and so clear, so many

so bright and the stars so

clear and seeing into forever

someone says that's a planet,

even brighter than a star

i see the big dipper i think

it can last forever it can

Hi Mace,

Is that one original?

On velvet night a fairy fell

and landed on a cockle shell

She rubbed her bum

and wiped her brow

and gave out disgruntled "OW!"

Now after straightening out her garb,

and pulling out a thorny barb,

she looked at me and said real mean,

"you know you're littler than you seem!"

"and since you laughed to see me fall

I cast on you this ancient pall,

that you may speak as sweet as birds

and ever smell as ripe green turds!"

 

So if our paths should chance to meet

you'll quickly move to cross the street

and if you think these words are sweet

wait until you smell my feet!
