Notes About The Poem

Hey Diddle Diddle - a nursery rhyme

 

Uplift

 next cloud
over -
the moon

the cow
jumped
over

hey
diddle
dee

stars
are
free

a pail
filled to brim
shining

luminaries
missing -
sky saddens

brightens
at a mother’s 
scolding

sky mobile
lows
a lullaby

bunk bed
ladder
transcends

uplift 
of
possibilities
