Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Like Rock Paper Sissors

Like rock paper scissors
When the sun comes out to warm applause
And illuminates the sky
Its’ radiance covers the world

But when clouds cover all
The air shivers
And shudders until it howls
A hearty wind to blow the clouds away
 
The ocean covers the land
And loves to give its’ water to the sky
When the rain falls to earth
We all dance for the greening growth

Lay a blanket upon the ground
Then kiss snowflakes tickling our tongues
Amid swirling covering flurries
Seeking to uncloak the key to start the thaw

That covers the winter milieu
We shout for the warm summer sun to arrive
And cover the waiting world
Once again

CayCay Godwin September 2, 2019 at 8:49 PM Oh, my mind - the places it goes; your poem made me a Brownie, scout camping and singing these lines around the campfire while an adult played the guitar. This is a good thing I'm saying, I could hear it sung, why it had to be me as a Brownie we needn't ponder. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Jeanne Mcgee September 2, 2019 at 9:33 PM What a hoot! I love your imagination. Keep singing, lol
