This was a project I did basically during the pandemic. I started writing a poem a day. Once ‘real life’ started again it got harder to write everyday, which is interesting.
apples and stars
the world is a giant place
filled with ideas and trees
and love and hugs and geese
and pandas and smiles and
stars and apples and sunflowers
and there is one more thing
in the world....
YOU
and that is the thing
I am most happy about
a day for some silly
A day for some silly
Let off some steam
Eat jam with jelly
Dance in a stream
When you get stuck
In a hole or a hard place
When time takes a toll
Or frowns grace your face
If you can manage
A laugh or a smile
You may just find
The joy lasts a while
The trick is to find
A little bright spark
Doesn’t have to be big
To make a wide mark
I know it’s not easy
To laugh sing and play
But you just might find
Life is better that way
come out to play (2)
no matter the weather
inside or out
if the street fills with puddles
or your mind drips with doubts
these are your people
and you in turn theirs
rest in the knowing
that all of you care
to laugh is magnificent
to imagine, pure gold
to connect with another
these are treasures we hold
so no matter the weather
outside or in
come out to play
then all of us win
Fridays are for Funny
Fridays are for funny
All things bright and sunny
Make bad rhymes
Waste some time
I like my eggs quite runny!
The week’s all done
Let’s play
Make puns
Mix up words
Sing like birds
Hop around like bunnies!
Spin once more
Never a chore
Make a grin
Above your chin
I’ll say again….
This is what Fridays are for!!
Go Grab Your Hat!
Time for a Friday!
Go grab your hat!
Let’s go have a good ol’ time!
End the week with splat!
Throw out the rule book!
Dance like you were five!
Sing and play the day away!
It’s great to be alive!
❤️ A little note to you — extraordinarily special and dear reader — thank you for being here. These words come alive through your reading. ❤️
something happy
I hope you find something happy
to bundle and put in your pack
fill your whole day with lightness and play
as you walk, feel the sun on your back
meet every person
with joy and good will
smile through foibles
laugh at the spills
I hope you find something happy
to carry through all of your days
always shine bright, laugh and delight
rejoice in love’s brilliant rays
