Flower Fun - a Sunday Muse Poem

 

   Blow to the Wind 

Dandelions and Violets 

My favorites since I was born 

Violets take to my mother 

Dandelions when choice was thin 

Either one my mother would beam 

Mothers are made for young ones' glee 

Violets have seasons when to bloom 

And dandelions go to seed 

Those seeds kids can blow to the wind 

Oft times the mothers will join in

Ready - an Acrostic

 

Ready and Primed 

“Wrinkles and bones, white hair and diamonds: I can’t wait.”  

Wrinkles 

all over my bod 

and 

dreamy hope in my head 

bones 

bones they show everywhere 

white 

of my eyes twinkling still 

hair 

for him styled the latest 

and 

feet, they're ready to dance 

diamonds 

here there everywhere 

I 

feel all primed and ready 

can’t 

do no more if I tried  

wait 

enough, my new boy toy comes

Let's go see what's going on

Fireworks 

and boat rides 

all under moons' light 

Comes just once a year
