Love Sweet Love

Love, sweet love! I am over the moon with love Poetry has made me see The beauty that life has in store for us All we need do is open our hearts each morning And greet the day with a big wide happy smile The troubles of yesterday Were yesterday's troubles Today is a brand new day Filled with exciting new things to see and do Greeting friends and neighbours Passing along good wishes to total strangers Being kind to the cashier at the grocery store Smiling for no reason Except to share happiness with those Whose life needs a bit of relief From their daily trials and tribulations It's surprising how just a kind word or two Can brighten up someone's day And make it just a little bit happier, a little bit brighter Small things can mean oh so much And they don't cost a single red penny A happy attitude is free for the taking But is worth a bundle in satisfaction A bundle of the one thing we all crave Love, sweet love! © Jack Ellison 2014

Daily trails and tribulations is another name for Dragon... Gee Jack, you're smitten with spring today! You need Dragon, a bunch of kids , Trolls, and penguins to keep you grounded... or flattened as they tramp all over you to get outside!... Hey! You Guys! You can go around me... you know... can't get outside into the 52 degree weather fast enough... What you call love fever they call cabin fever... Look at them go... They'll be down by the lake any second now... OOOPPPS... one fell in... LOL

SMITTEN is a good word! LOL It all started with writing these narratives instead of quatrains allowing me a freedom of expression without worrying about rhyme! XOXOX
