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 © Jack Ellison 2014

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!
