Come sit with me lovey
I’m excited to see
The clouds dancing high
In the deep blue sea

We’ll make dandelion rings
And weave clover blossom
Make  bracelets of violets
Now don’t we look awesome

We’ll take our tea party under the willow
While the branches sway
To the music in our smiles
Our pinkies...

Grasshopper soup if you do not mind.
Fry the legs first if you would be so kind.
I know they are not easy to find
But I already have the bread bowl lined....

A Grasshopper mocked an Ant all the day long,
because the Ant thought to be busy and strong
And the Grasshopper thinks this all is silly and wrong.
An Ant can carry thrice its weight ,even a big, big crate.
An Ant travels far and wide, and needs no...

Resting on a tall blade of grass 
As two more go meandering past
His giant eyes surveying the land
Sitting all alone on that strand

Sitting there so willing to wait
As so soon he was hit by fate
Landing on the same blade of grass
He fell off and landed...

It's quiet tonight only the witterings 
of grasshopper legs for company. 
The sun has dipped leaving dark 
blue tones with slate grey slabs 
spanning the horizon. The pool is 
motionless, orange balls sit like 
flames on water, reflections of the 
rustic village lamps.
This is the...

green grasshoppers- vivacious
gazelles
gaily observing  nurtured
exhibits
gossamer winged butterflies
gracefully
signifying natures colourful
kites
  gently touching floral
parades

perfumed yesterday, today 
tomorrow
garnet geraniums
whimsical gypsophila
dainty daisies
ravishing roses
timid pansies
different poses

Beautiful Eos, goddess of dawn
Cursed to love a man like me.
How could I not be drawn
To your luminous beauty?

So I, Tithonus, Prince of Troy,
Plucked the fruit from heaven's sky.
A mortal man who would enjoy
Heaven's bliss with Dawn to lie.

My only love, I did beseech
Grant this...

   wagging in the wind, cattails

peers through gaping hole in leaf --

While eating at KFC with my wife,

saw this lonely grasshopper

slowly climbing up the outside window

making every effort to reach the top.

Life is so beautiful, even for this small but

determinded grasshopper.

My supervisor is Hannibal ugly today.
Must be tired from jumping through hoops.
on bony knees.
Trying to please the unpleasable.
Being constantly squeezed
just to climb a rung less ladder
of cackle and clack,
Everything is out of its being.
brown- acidic,

I'll do "it" a favor and stay out of its way.

Grasshopper, you have learned in time,
All that’s poetry does not rhyme,
And now you must also learn to see -
All that rhymes is not poetry....

Grinning grasshopper gallops gracefully,
Getting garden grasses,
Gathering green grapes,
Grasping gorgeous goldenrods,
Grazing grand grounds,
Greeting greedy grubs,
Gliding gallantly...
           Going,
               Going,
