Common Interests

COMMON Interests 


Kim and I were both taught to be good girls, and we both believe in God and humanity.
We use long poetical rhyming words like insanity, vanity and profanity.
Both of us like the outdoors, and know there are dangerous things like gravel  and snakes out there,
Which will jump up and bite our bare feet and bare toesies without a  “I’m sorry” or a care. 

Our jester-side is actually in charge of the whole family, and maybe the neighbors too.
We are so terrific wearing this hat, that we conduct whole armies, red, gray, orange and blue.
We both enjoy the Beatles – Yellow Submarine, is a favorite of mine, and that’s no fib.
I was a young teenager when they landed in the states,  Kim,you heard them in your pink baby crib.

We agree on second, third, and maybe even fifteen chances for people whom we love.
We like imagery that includes billowy clouds, faeries, and a charismatic turtle dove.
We like Dr. Seuss’ Books, especially ‘Horton Hears A Who’ and ‘The Star Belly Sneetches’,
And we would not turn down a free vacation at wonderful  South Carolina beaches.

We do our best to comment on other’s poems with genuineness and love, to an entire group.
Our tastes are similar; we love art, music, gardening, animals and especially Poetry Soup.

Key words: good girls, God, rhyming words, jester, Beatles, love, faeries, Dr. Seuss, love, art
	     Gardening, animals, Poetry Soup

Thank you Jan. I really tried hard to think "what do Kim and I have in common?" since it is her contest.
