Sunlite Wanter Poet Rhyme

I Cannot Reach the Ivy Wildly Growing

I cannot reach the ivy wildly growing,

The screen will soon cling and cover.

Once I was tall enough and lithe,

But those days are long and long over.


Watching ivy grow is a new way of living,

Quiet and silent days of writing of rhymes,

Wondering at the speed of passing these days,

Alone and rocking through these curious times.


I cannot reach the ivy wildly growing.

The screen may soon cling and cover.

Though as long as I may, I will stand on tip toes.

Leaving the rest to others
