Motherly Love

Mama I love you 

So very much I love 

I know you love me 

Feed me kiss me caress 

Forever I'll love 

And when I'm bigger 

I'll love you even more 

You'll protect me always 

Teach me to be safe 

Little boys are fair game 

Fathers jealous men 

I'll have to run and hide 

And when older still 

I'll remeber that love 

Then to my bride 

Love her as you taught me

A Poem - Street Painter has an Onlooker under His Skin

 

[click on picture to make it larger, again for larger still]
 

The Street Painter;

  and the snappy woman 
 

His pictures were beautiful though

who but a tourist would buy one 

And so many were mural size

Best to get it home just ship it 
 

Comes little lady in her 'shaw

She's too good to put her foot down

The pavement was germy dirty

Besides Rick the driver had gone 
 

What are ye painting she shouted

Looks a bloody mess upside down

I like your colors what's it's price

Sounded like a put down to him 
 

With a sly grin he shouted back

It ain't for sale Grandma wants it

Oh sure where does your grandma live

She's in Heaven all good girls go 
 

Why do you paint here in the grime

The street gives me inspiration

I live here 'neath yon bridge.  Homey. 

Water sloshing gives me patience

 - - Riding with the pedaling fellow in this bike mobile cab looks like it would be fun but he didn't have many takers.  Mrs. Jim and I did ride in one of these in China and the ride was not fun.

 - - The street painter was going to donate his painting to a local Salvation Army unit.  There were a lot of people in his painting but I couldn't figure out what he meant it to be.

Poem, Endless Love

Formerly posted April 28, 2020 

for NaPoWriMo Day 28 -

Without Numbers;

Too many to count 

My love for you begins at South 

It climbs mountains to wink at stars 

And goes back down into the dale  

Zillions and zillions times over 

Each step each blink of eye 

My love for you filling my mind 

I know you feel the same for me 

Numberless as the beach buggers 

Smacking lips wishing for fresh fish 

Consumes us both my love for you 

Your love for me we do exchange 

Till we reach North which never comes 

Numberless steps before it ends 

Love made from all the sweet flowers 

Numberless in themselves we coo 

Coo and cuddle will never end 

I love you you love me dizzy 

Up and down those high hills higher 

Higher and higher our love grows 

Numberless buggers North as well 

Blessed in High Heaven is our love
