A liquid moon moves gently among the long branches

____________________________________________________________________________________________

There is little better than a

winter night with a hearty meal, some select liquid

and your hunny with the full moon

creating shadows in the house as it moves

across the sky, dancing with the stars gently

and we full and bundled up slip among

bare trees over crisp leaves and cold water, the

night early and still cooling, no night will be as long

holding hands nearly off balance we watch through the bare branches

Honk if you Exist

_____________________________________

Honk honk geese fly in a vee southbound

If you stop and think it is profound

You gather family and friends around

Exist to trek wholly weatherbound

  • The theme of the poem may or may not have anything to do with the message of the sticker
  • Title should be the words of the bumper sticker
  • Should be rhymed
  • 9 syllable lines

I Brake for Interesting Cloud Formations

_____________________________________

I am fascinated by the sky

Brake ferns May also preoccupy

For all of Nature is intriguing

Interesting until fatiguing

Clouds and stars testing imagination

Formations -Constellations – Salvation

Sun Rays Two Ways One Day

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Sunbeams

crepuscular, golden

shining, radiating, awe-inspiring

illusion, perspective, physics, droplets

refracting, projecting, reflecting

multicolored, spectacle

Rainbow

Blue hole in a gray sky

_____________________________________

Why did the gray clouds

Open to reveal blue skies

We don’t see anywhere else?

*

The lonely jack sighed

Wishing to play in the sun

Mother said “Dear, it shall come.”
