Poor Scarecrow Creature

the patched up scarecrow has the saddest smile
You can find him at the corner of the ten foot mile
I wondered what happened to this poor little creature.
He is horrid-looking, a frightfully pathetic feature.

Grandma’s eyes were slipping when she made him.
He is lucky to have a smile said my evil twin.
I sometimes sit and watch this scarecrow toss and spin.
Feeling sorry that she made him during her dementia whim.

We are delighted with all poems throughout the world as written. They are expressions of how we see things around us, and making "everything" look better forever.

Wow! Cliff. You have said a whole lot! This means a lot to me! I am so glad I am still on Soup now! Soup was my first poetry site, but 6,000 more of my poems are on All Poetry because they do not limit me to ten a day and some days I crank out 30 poems
