Memories, faded, in black and white

A toddler explores, stars, in the light

Against the guardrail, inquisitive wonder

That no adult should ever plunder

Poking and pushing, to find the entrance

Standing on tiptoes, he takes his chances

Behind the tarpaulin, lies adventure

Let him be, don’t let there be censure

His imagination, must fly in the breeze

Past the circus clowns, and forest trees

And as I watch, and hope that I can see

Deep inside, I know, a piece of him, is me

Now dressed in uniform, on his arm is his lady

I am thankful for photos, of my blue jean baby

It’s that time of year again, when I start to take weekends off from my blog, not totally, but enough to be able to spend time with my family.  So, Backyard Buddies returns for Season 2  🙂

Baby robin (fledgling), waiting for mama to return with food.

Mermaid baby, little one, drift upon this silent sea

Find your place, among the waves, let the waters set you free

Let the sunlight guide you, though storm clouds threaten here

Bask in everlasting hope, knowing happiness is near

Sleep, for now, sweet baby, on a leaf, until the day

You hear the ocean call to you, tis love, it does convey

Baby Boom ~ #JuneWriting #poetry

It was quite the extravagant fuss
In fact, it was superfluous
To invite all the neighbors
To witness the labor
Then stand around and discuss

But Gina wanted it this way
All the ladies, at once, had their say
Name her Lucy, Meg or Tilly
But, oh no, never Willy
We just can’t wait for this day!

The men couldn’t stand anymore
Led their ladies right out the front door
Making one big to-do
Leaving Gina so blue
And angry at Jim, to the core

Poor Jim, he could feel the doom
As the due date did solemnly loom
Can you imagine the noise?
When they found out it was boys!
Not one, but two, baby boom!

Hickory and Dickory ~ #MayWriting #poetry

Hickory and Dickory went to the doc
To find out why Hickory was gaining

Only to discover, a baby on the way
Which started ole Dickory complaining

He never had kiddies in mind, for his age
She, on the other hand, was glowing

Wondering why she had that look on her face
He stood there, confused and unknowing

Hickory went about her days, smiling
Until it was time for the baby to arrive

Dickory was one nervous Nelly
And he, the nurses would have to revive

When at last, the child was born
It was love, at first sight, with a shock!

The baby looked nothing like Dickory
But he sure as hell looked like the doc!
