i found one piece
colored in memories
touching my fingertips
*
i hear unstoppable giggles
colored in memories
and silly moments
*
i grasp all that is left
colored in memories
touching my heart
*
i remember candy coated silliness
colored in memories
and boys…
This is written for friend and colleague Brian Miller and the boys that keep us young.
Light Verse are whimsical poems are represented in Limerick, non-sense poems and Double Dactly. (the above is more a free verse)
This is a Limerick-
I met a strange man from Philly
Who everyone said was quite silly
he pulled up a dish, it was covered in fish
and pulled up a chair with fine Lily
***
There is no grief like the grief that does not speak
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again.
Wisely improve the present , it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear…
~Longfellow
