Summer Groom

A flower of gold how sweet you are, so colorful so vibrant as sweet as honeycomb,
your eyes are as the blues off the tip of a mountain, or is it as blue as the oceans deep, 

is it winter or is it spring, who can tell, when there is a mist of love that curves your beautiful hands
now it is summer filled with life of gold, only the heavens can understand what this life of happiness
could unfold
 
It lights up like a candle, like a flower it blooms, like a rabbit running through the meadow,
oh my sweet summer groom.

The Bird That Thinks It Can Swim

Why does the sky let down droplets of rain, couldn’t it be like the river which remains the same.

Look at that elephant washing its back, surely I could do that, just watch me do my flaps.

Ripples through the water  aren’t they the best, now why is this raven making much noise in her nest.

Swirl they did, so many I’ve lost count, maybe if I just take a dip, now that’s what I’m talking bout!

Here comes the evening pigeon I guess somehow it must, could you please stop! Should you always make such a fuss.

The ducks going in circles seems to be having a blast, feeling water on my face, how I wish this day would last.

Suddenly there was a splash as the crocodile came up for air, why am I perched on a tree, this couldn’t be more unfair!

Now listen here, indeed you might have somehow missed, I’m no bird! Just in case you were wondering this.
