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

How incredibly fun!
I think most of us left out the word "ejaculation"! LOL
This 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.

Well done, I enjoyed ! gotta watch out for that periwinkle, will cause all types of trouble
This was a fun read. I especially liked the favorite words of your own that you added - snicklefritz and shingadoogie.
This is delightful ... bedazzled by an indigo gypsy. What a fun fantasy.
Bedazzled by an indigo gypsy!! Love that line. :)
Amazing how you worked so many words into this poem, and still gave it form and structure,and a story to tell.
A clever use of all the words!
Very Lewis Carroll - a dreamy schizophrenia journey, to be sure.
Such a fun write. You manged to include so many words from the list. Love your Lewis Carroll mood. Great piece!
This is so much fun, Emma. You got to use so many of the words! :)
I want to meet that indigo gypsy...and I love the idea of a very color breaking your tethers. Wonderful.
