NaPoWriMo Day 25 - Poem for Sunday Muse

 "The Sea Within" painting by 

Samy Charnine 

Sea Within 

What do I see in the 

sea within 

Little glass bowl full of toys 

and one small fishie 

We named her Betsy we 

watch her swim 

She seemed to like us 

could  you love a fish 

It would be so easy were 

your head like a pretty little 

glass bowl 

I sit by hours watching 

when you are asleep 

I wish it were always like 

that glass bowl 

Fishes there to tell me from  

within your pretty head 

Because at times I wonder 

Do you love me like I love you 

There's flowers in the morning 

and chocolate at noon 

Both telling me that 

you love me so very much 

Like I love you

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 24 - a "Finds Poem"

 
(I love to find old Zombie Trees along the road. [jimmiehov 2018])

Zombie Finds 

I woke up this morning at four 
I couldn't sleep no more 
My dream woke me up, end of night 
My passion, had to write 

It was of a grove of Zombie trees 
Alive no longer be 
But inside those skeletons lie 
Spirits call to the sky 

Listen and be very quiet 
Spirits not gone just yet 
Waiting praise and prayer might be long 
Basque in their heav'nly song 

And when accepted by above 
They crumble to that love

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 23 - New Wheel, a Poem

I am writing this poem for William Shakespeare who died on this date, April 23, 1616, at his birth town, Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom (we visited his birthplace in 1980, there I bought the book, "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare).

"A’ shall answer it. Some pigeons, Davy, a couple of short-legged hens, a joint of mutton, and any pretty little tiny kickshaws, tell William cook."

Henry IV Part 2: Act 5, Scene 1

The Wheel

Rediscover the wheel
Make it better this time
One on every plate and
one in every garage

Review its performance
Is it compatible
All computer platforms
Restart in one minute

Reveal it in New York
Make headlines tell it all
Advertise sell sell sell
Every office and home

Respect the laws of state
Patents and copyrights
Protect invention well
Competition be gone

Renounce all old models
Software updates won't work
on machines that aren't ours
Corner on the market

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 22 - Earth Day Poem

     Sierra Club *

Earth Day 2020 

April twenty-second again
The day, Earth Day 2020 
To me it is recognition 
Beautiful planet where we live 

We plant new trees in its honor  
Fertilize and trim what we've got 
Trees and flowers Nature's resource 
Beautiful planet we must help 

Pick up trash that others have left 
Proclaim to the world our duties 
Food and clothing minerals and rocks 
Beautiful planet sustains us 

We mustn't forget the critters 
They were here way before we came 
Those critters and Indian race 
Beautiful planet room for all  

Earth Day 2020 calls us 
Protect preserve and cultivate 

Appreciation planet good

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 21 - Poem, Family Tree

Family trees were lost 
Casualties of the wars 

Wish for older daughter 
She'd marry rich and strong 
Richest of Roman gods 

The 12 Roman  gods were 
Jupiter and Juno 
Neptune and Minerva 
Mars and Venus 
Apollo and Diana 
Vulcan and Vesta and 
Mercury and Ceres.* 

Some had too many wives 
Females were no no's then 

Jupiter son of Zeus 
Best pick for this father 

Lived happily after 
Started new family tree

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 20 - The Walk

The Walk and Finds 

We're going for more walks now 
that we're staying in 
Doctors' orders*

And on those neighborhood walks 
we find little things 
And bring them home 

There's some bushes down the street 
wee flowers in bloom 
Pick two or three 

Bring them home make a bouquet 
every day to see 
Smell just a whiff 

Another flower to be 
thistle a foot tall 
Bring it home to stay 
Wife says "No way" 

* Upon discharge from care,  back surgery, disc repair, my doctor said, "Walk 30 minutes a day, five times a week.  On the same day Mrs. Jim's doctor called, ended with the same advice.  Different practices, different specialties.   Providence?  Scary.

NaplPoWriMo 2020 Day 19 -- Poem, A Morning at the Pier

        Postcard photo from Margart-

        of Artistic Interpretations 

At the Pier 

Here I am sitting

Here I sit dangling my legs

On this pier my thoughts are born

My dreams are wished, feet get washed

My wishes disclosed 

COVID 19, go away

For Rainbow's end Pot of Gold

Food on table and food line

And my feet get washed

The fishes swim over them

I don't need soap--wouldn't work

Big fish I'll grab with my net

And then?

Wave goodbye to fish and  ships

Dog glad to have me come home

Make us some  food fish and chips 

Jim's Happy Beagle, Adi
