Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

I'Ve Made Up My Mind

I've made up my mind

    To be the girl I used to be, ah so fine

      A butterfly out in the sunshine

        Spin slow in the spiders silk web and dine  

  Sit praying next to the praying mantis

    Making some fun rolling in the mud in Atlantis

      Flirt next to the hog and paint it on the canvas

        Kiss the ladybug upon its nose

  Let it take a wink at this green poet's toes

    I've made up my mind  be picked up and hurled

      Round and be taken around the world

        Jump over the full moon

  Telling him life will all be alright soon

    I'm tired of taking my time

      I've made up my mind to give myself to you

        To be the girl I used to be, ah so fine
