It comes and goes
That smiling sunshine
I wish it would stay
Longer than a day
One day I’m in boots
The next in sandels
One day its raincoats
The next sunglasses
Oregon springtime
Its a guessing game

Summertime Saturdays
Sound of a lawnmower
The smell of freshly cut grass
Childhood memories
Of summertime mornings
And Saturday chores
Mom cleaning the whole house
Dad working in the yard
Me trying in vain to sleep in
Cus my sheets gotta be washed
Choka
Thursday is usually the day the landscapers cut the grass here in the complex where I live. Since today was a warm sunny day ( in the 70’s) I was outside tending to my plants and experienced that smell of freshly cut grass, which I love, and it also brought back some childhood memories of summertime Saturdays. 😊
Strange Conversation
Today
While in my path
A stranger I did meet
Speaking a language not my own
Smiling
I hushed the cute brown pup
Whose ire I’d arisen
By walking near
His home

March’s Admonition
“Wake up!
Oh sleepy head!
Time is marching forward,
But your body clock is an hour
Behind!”

“Peachy Keen”
Kenickie,
“Hope your day’s
Peachy keen,
Jelly Bean!”
From, Rizzo.
Syllabic Verse
A bit of humor here today as I am remembering the 50’s and a favorite saying of that time ” peachy keen jelly bean” which was also a line in one of my favorite movies, “Grease”. As I was creating this peach collage today for an Instagram challenge I am participating in, I was reminded of this saying which brought me a smile, so I thought I would share it with all of you. 🙂
“Silly Saturday”
Silly is
As silly does
So silly does as silly
Says on a silly Saturday
So silly!
Cinquain
Trying to be “silly” today and this poem ended up as a bit of a “Tonque Twister”! 😊
Seuss Says:
Sometimes
You need to be silly
Featherbrained
Harebrained
Just a little bit childish
It’s just simply fun

This New Year I created a daily Art Challenge in my Instagram account. Each day of the week has a different prompt.
Saturday’s prompt is “Silly Saturday”.
Gee, I was surprised that I had such a hard time being creatively silly! I guess I am always so focused on making meaningful art and poetry that I find it hard to just create something non-sensical. However, I kept trying and did come up with something.
It helped to read some Dr. Seuss and Alice in Wonderland 😊

Not So Sweet Sounds
Hello Miss Kitty
Dressed in your Christmas pretty
Singing a little ditty
All about the the city
Sounds kinda gritty
What a pity
Rhyme
Leaves at Play
Nature’s
Fall games
Yellow
Races red
Wind quits
No winners
Syllabic Verse
It was a fairly windy warm Fall day today and I enjoyed being outside just watching the wind blowing the leaves around. I missed out on getting a video of a group of leaves dancing as I didn’t have my camera ready in time but it was awesome to see them swirl and twirl together in sort of a whirlwind burst of air.
But I did capture another video of them looking like they were racing each other as a big gust of wind blew them along. Fun day! 😊
Worth?
Some thoughts are worth
More than just a penny.
That’s just my two cents
