I questioned the authhority behind the voice and heard,
Why? Because I said so, that's why!
I took a chance and hesitated when I heard,
I'm going to give you until the count of three!
I didn't listen and paid the price and then I heard,
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt!
I feigned ignorance and took a chance and then I heard,
I don't know is NOT an answer!
Walking was not to be an option, but then I heard,
I'm not running a taxi service!
I only did it because Jimmy did and then I heard,
If everyone jumped off a cliff would you do it too?
Making goofy faces was part of my plan when suddenly I heard,
Someday your face will freeze like that!
Can I have those stovepipe pants, after all, they are the fad,
Go ask your dad!
I don't want to help, I want to play and suddenly I heard,
I hope someday when you have kids they're just like you, then you'll know
Hey Mom can I go out and play?
No you can't Bob, Sue, Joe, Fido..whatever your name is...
Thanks Mom!

You did that very well. I like that one a lot.
Thank you very much edgarblythe for the kind words.
Sometimes I get inspiration and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I feel like and nut and sometimes I don't.
the night is still around me
wrapped around the cool breeze
my footsteps on the pavement
a movement in the trees
the street is like it is in day
it's only absent light
the world takes on an aspect
of shadows and of sight
it's cool and it's thoughtful
the only other souls
knowing nighttime passwords
knowing nighttime rules
there are no interruptions
of thought or whim or time
the world just slumbers past me
I'm free to do what's mine

Very nice. There are so many talented people in the world.

I know what you mean Intrepid...I feel the same way :wink:
Welcome to all the new posters...I love reading your stuff
life can be busy
in that busy sort of way
and life can get too busy
to take the time to play
just wanted to bookmark ... but instead of dropping a bm i'll drop a link to the
sick easter bunny haikus i improvised in re: to seed's drawings here the other day..
to BM may not sound so good
and only means just what it should
don't take it wrong as you embark
you'll find it only means "Bookmark"
drear March rain
queer dark stain
watermark for spring
dark for funerals
mark for minimals
winter dirg we sing
Cold muddy snow
a promise of spring
the chill in the air
turns quickly
into warm summer rain
Hey Ed, Color .... be eating those morels pretty soon
It has been pretty much spring here for a few weeks. Today is a setback, but everything is beginning to sprout and bloom.
woodpeckers inside the willow
peep out at strangers on the sidewalk
and the robins outside the window
fat as chickens waddle when they walk
jays and cardinals hide
when mockingbirds fly
springs everywhere is the talk . . .
There has been snow on the ground all winter here...as soon as one batch melts a new batch begins.
the days will get longer
and much more polite
when the springtime issues
the time saving light
not even one Robin
the first sign of spring
just tons of wet white stuff
upon everything
We had an inch or two of snow this year. In Corpus Christi they got several inches of it.
as birds sing merrily
outside my window here
they welcome sunshine on this morn
and then they disappear
the frigid blasted winter
forges on in natures way
and I am grateful that the weatherman
forecasts no snow today
got my ball named wilson
that i bought from walmart
got an emachine
also came from walmart
walmart nation
best in creation
walmarts are coming
out your ears
got bananas and cookies
from the shelves at walmart
got trousers and neckties
that came from walmart
walmart planet
you know its granted
walmart is coming
to mars
Look
under your bed
there on the floor
what is that green pod
what could it be?
wait, was that the sound
of a closing door?
my god could it be?
The Walmart body snatchers
they've come for me!
YAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa.........
little kid
wants a bicycle
ride and ride
in circles wide
little kid
dont know how
doesnt care
rides his bicycle
round and round
when he looks
up
eyes wide either
or
mouth open
or
all alone
immersed, inside
little kid
rides his bicycle
in cirles wide.
we don't know.
that was just words that came out when i sat by the copmputer just now <shrugs>
