Symposia

Imagine a brilliantly intensely inner-connected symposia
Of beliefs that humans with nature and other species can be one,
Envision flying people taught by robins and wrens, for amazing bits of fun.
Join me Sunday at 9, off exit 2 off Highway 8, I do proposia.

If you would rather learn to build dams, bring a snorkel, and wear a swimming suit.
The beavers taught six to dam last year, from ages eighteen to eighty-two.
Come sign up for at least six of our classes, assure a terrific time for you.
We will have so much fun in the forest, this may become your most favorite hoot.

If you want to bring a companion, a spouse, an onlooker, or a really good friend,
Or just come alone, in your tennis shoes, with heart and mind open creatively wide,
Come to the shelter house and sign up for all events you think you can truthfully abide.
The day will be filled with joyous communion, and a communal campfire at the end.

Thank you Line. I had to re-read it as I had almost completely forgotten what I wrote.

I, too, love fabricating new words, Caren. Been doing since my teens! As for JFK, it's an old poem I wrote after his being shot. I was in college and will always remember the day. As to his morality, he was worse than Trump and makes him look lily white. Thank you for stopping by. Best to you. / M

i love the rhyme of "symposia" and "proposia," caren! here's to poetic license (especially when it's used so delightfully!)

Thank you Ilene. If there is one person who loves to make up new words, you are reading her poems.
