Walrus and I


       Enlighten me please 
     why windows are solid
           yet transparent

Why the moon shines even as
     the sun's rise envelopes
            our mind's eye

    How a rain drop can fall
         thousands of feet
come to a crashing halt on a
          slab of concrete
      and though scattered
       it's matter survives

     How the walrus keeps
             the harem
                 yet i 
         find it arduous

              to keep
                 one

by the way, sorry about your iguana. I think Ollyver must be dead by now. Finally had to give him up. Hubbie couldn't take his bad behaviours any more and we took him to pet smart after ten whole years to be adopted. I dreamed he passed away and visited me on his way to heaven. I sure hope that dream was true!

You're a jovial dude!!! That's because it can go under water. If mankind could they would have mermaids. Yes, I created the Epulaeryu form. It's all about succulent dishes and drinks. I will have a contest soon. Blessings, Joseph

James, be sure to check out the poem Scarlett Williams wrote for "JP." I think she is speaking of you when describing the "beautiful man" she met on Poetry Soup. Enjoy the recognition the poem bestows because it is so well deserved. Love, carolyn

:) Big smiles, James. This is awesome! I had a great laugh in the last verse. I find having a man around just as "arduous." Love, Carolyn
