Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Exuberance

To define the word 'exuberance'

One need not go to the Net

Watch two puppies meet on the street

That's happy as happiness gets

It's real 'exuberance' personified

As they tug away on the leash

Both tails wagging a mile a minute

A couple of ecstatic beasts

What if we allowed 'em both to go at it

Exploring until they dropped

They'd surely be two happy pooches

Till in their dog house they flopped

We could learn a lesson from these little guys

Begin each day with a smile

Cram in as much fun as you possibly can

Never know if it's your very last mile

Carol Eastman November 5, 2014 at 11:25 AM Exuberance is Dragon and I waiting to read your lastest print... Yep! Your the only one... we come to in the end. We do write other poems that go on our PoetrySoup site... But you know... you do inspire more than a few of them. That's right! And to no one else's door... do we traipsey with our prose. We like to think others come here, to see what next unrolls. Besides you have a boyish charm that attracts a little bit of fun. Maybe we're really two peas in a pod... or 3 if Dragon comes along! Jack Ellison November 5, 2014 at 10:14 PM What a sweet thing to say... Cathie thinks you're a hoot too! LOL XXX Carol Eastman November 5, 2014 at 11:29 AM Yep... We only play with your poetry... but that's because you and Cathy are so nice!
