For a day of endless peace
And a night of sacred slumber
I would rejoice with all my voice
It'd be as magical as alabaster
To dream lightly of butterflies
And explore with cat like paws
The idea alone is full of hope
Such serendipity in those thoughts
There'd be silence and synchronicity
I'd be bedazzled by an indigo gypsy
There my patience would be ubiquitous
Despite the linoleum being orangey
So I keep imagining the shingadoogie
And the snicklefritz with horsefeathers
Through the briar in mariposa I know
The periwinkle will break my tethers
Xxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteI think most of us left out the word "ejaculation"! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is very nicely done, Emma. It puts mine to shame.
Oh, and the butterflies' paws? They have to have claws for clinging on briars, but don't use them otherwise.
