Best Frolic Poems

I pause for a robin, musing on dogwood pink,
As red cardinal dashes-in, hops, hops, and sits,
Warbling of silken-rose blossoms of peonies
And fragrant white flowers of magnolia’s zeal
While you’re lost in waltzing yellow daffodils
Where sparrow is whistling flapping its wings
Amid birds chirping, rejoicing flowering trees
Gathering grass,...

gravitating together,
       children - puffy fat in snowsuits - grasp 
                 one another's mittened hands, 
in-line unison,

With a wag of tail and tongue bedraggled
dogs drag their owners to frolic off-leash
in parks devoted to dog meets dog dalliance and play.

Despite their authority, the owners know each
not by the owner’s names, but by the names of the dogs.
“Where’s George today, and Horris the...

When I was girl
Many a moon and season
Love was fairy tales 

A challenge at best
Yet fun to frolic with love
A season to create
Masterpieces from within
Patiently waiting for fun

Released from my heart and soul
A forget me not of phrases
Combinations of my words
Poetry in life

Friskily frolicking I call it. 
I don’t “play”
I friskily frolic.

Friskily frolic from far off field.
Far off field I will friskily frolic.

To and from
and back and forth

Friskily frolic for that flying fungo
Forever and all
I will friskily frolic
Friskily frolic when I play ball....

Flights of such fantasy
    Fill all my senses with
      Foolish thoughts of being
        Free-spirited as a
          Fluttering butterfly,

I love you she said
Can we do it again dear
No, I have to rest

But it was so fun
And we’re out in the sun
But I am burning my bum
And my playful parts are numb
Let me just rest some

Well you sent me for a loop

Dawn hurls
Bird song greeting;
Morning light

~~~~~~~~~


Sleepy daze
Drowsy feel;
Wobbly feet

~~~~~~~~~


Mind groggy
Feeble feet glide;
Cold water aftershock

~~~~~~~~~


Black bird tryst
Window ledge concert;
Dawn psalmist

~~~~~~~~~


Bamboo pines sway
Rustle in the wind;
Breezy escapades

~~~~~~~~~


Listen now
Wind chimes amuse;
Random strains curl

~~~~~~~~~


Sit here still
Waiting impulse;
Words unfurl meaning

~~~~~~~~~


Burma votes
Perhaps for change;
People live hop

~~~~~~~~~


Signs tell
Deep dark story;
Massacres surreal

~~~~~~~~~


Wars show up
People...

wind seeds frolic 
floating among fairies 
tickled pink

playful fairies laugh 
yellow dandelions sing 
lovers pluck petals

wishing petals hope 
passion dreams in the sunlight 
young hearts racing

moonlight seduces
two hearts melt into the night 
cavorting past dawn

many have lost sight..
>love as a law, forgotten.
perception of depth askew..

in search of purpose,
truth viewed relative to goal.
>fun submerged in past...
adolescence falls behind,   
as figures make time to pass...

imagination spread thin,
over minds chasing schedules.
conversation lost, with haste,
>poetry, frames the moments.

squirrel and robin
at bottom tree frolicking 
the bird on the back

 of the squirrel like that
 on the squirrel's back like a 
man riding his horse.

 Imagine that now
such a site is that Robin 
on a squirrel's back

Fairies that frolic among the flowers,
Spread happiness here among the bowers
Leaping through the petals,
Avoiding the nettles
I hear they live in grand golden towers.

picnic on a hill
swept by summer's breeze
birds float by with ease
joy among the blooms
old fashioned perfumes

green everywhere
gold in our hair
soft bluebell skies
and whim's surprise

cardinals
hue rivals
love jewels

good times 
wind chimes

grass

We all do things we do not jump to do
Jobs, Tasks, Chores, Assignments…
With hope that the result of our investment
Will bring a better tomorrow
A brighter next year
Long term goals to eventually succeed
Riches, Wealth, Prosperity
From hassle, challenges we soldier through
Though…
When we find our passion
Work becomes play!...
