johnny jump up danced with wind...
pink tulips blushed red
spring rain wet them all
birds hidden away through fog...
crows' watchmen silent
johnny jump up common name for viola.

Hey, Johnny Jump Up,
Mischievous elf,
Your look like Viola,
Not like yourself.
Same shape, same colors -
Before our eyes,
Your yellow and purple,
Quite the disguise.
Vibrant, bright colors
Painted on your five petals
Love, luck and happiness
Your gifts on us settles,
You love the warm meadows
And cool ocean breezes
Magician of summer
You won't make us sneeze.
Jump in that puddle. Make mistakes. Jump toward the edge. Hang on by your knuckles.
Dare yourself!
Get muddy!
Laugh your truth. Make fun of the ridiculous. Call them out. Live your life.
Stand in the rain.
Be yourself.
Every second of every day, no matter how mad it makes them.
Laugh at the rain.
Stand tall.
Punch yourself forward. Light your own fire. Keep yourself jumping. Enjoy the mud.
Splash yourself with happy.
Roar back at the thunder.
No one can get you.
You have yourself.
Soar, laugh, love, all hope is within.
Jump yourself happy. Splash. Play. Twirl, dance.
Be you!

Type of poem: Carpe Diem
Insanity enters my distorted simple mind
To raise funds for charity for some unknown,
Impulsive, heroic, death defying, maligned
Save children or animals or even Sierra Leone
mind can do anything, though body unwilling
Something not to taxing, not energetic
Ruled out running, climbing, and no swimming
Beginning to feel a little pathetic,
Perhaps drive through the Sahara desert
Without knowing my destination no route,
Daft thoughts, my mind I need to reassert
Yes Jump out an airplane with a parachute.
I start training, how to fall to mother Earth
Without those possible leg injuries,
Begin to wonder what my life's worth
Could be my end, heavens inquiries,
Adrenaline flowing as entering airplane,
Over One thousand feet, ready, yet unwilling
No turning back, Am I brave, stupid, insane,
Will this end in sorrow or will it be thrilling,
Time has come I must jump, mind now blank,
I fall out legs kicking, wind rushing by,
Ninety seconds to Earth, a jolt my heart sank,
canopy had opened, I'm not going to die.
( I ripped three ligaments in my right foot
When landing wrong, Doctor advised not
To do this again, though I would love to)
If I could jump in a rainbow
And soak up the rays
It still wouldn’t compare
To the love of my Babe
He showers me with sentiments
He explains how he feels
He gives us a future
And makes fantasy become real
I can’t quite remember my life before him
And he thinks the same
We are brainwave twins
My life has no past
It seems I’ve forgotten
Like it was molded or rotten
With my baby it’s all new
Life started the day
I met my true best friend
Confidant and lover for always
When love feels upside down and falling apart
From affairs that deal directly with your heart
We tend to over think them from the very start
Stuck in your head like a pointed dart
Looking for the right answer to jumpstart
The beauty in love that feels like art
Baby with you I want us to never depart
We must prioritize this like we are so smart
Love with you always makes me feel shiny and new
Troubled waters between us make me feel sad and blue
How we lost our way I haven't any clue
I respect all that we share through and through
There is nothing in this world I would not do
To make all of our dreams come true
When we are together we are like glue
In love, we both share the same view
Honey let's find what's missing or overdue
What we see in each other is just a preview
Nothing about what we have I would undue
Love like ours we have to pursue
You know deep down inside it leads to I do's
Sharing our life is what God wants for me and you
“Have you ever seen a cow jump over a moon, grandma?”
Sweetest voice ever asks me.
No, I admit.
“I have!” he says with high glee in his voice.
“What color was the cow?”
Gold.
“What color was the moon?”
Gold.
What color was the sky?
Blue
“Dark blue or light blue?”
I meant gold. It was GOLD!
“If the cow, the moon and the sky was gold, how did you see it?”
I have magic eyes.
Chairs lined with stripes,
green and white,
became ski jump ramps
for feelings, innocent and pure,
taking off from the edge
hoping to defy the gravity of fears.
Only a lucky few made it,
others turned into tears
landing on the grass of Green Park
as the warm air was getting dark.

by~ Poet D:
How did it come to this?
You and me down memory bliss..
Some where in between losing my self ..
I misplaced the dust remover off my shelf..
Now I will march on like a cheerful parade..
Smiling my big pearly whites, as you begin to fade...
I disguised the use, when you called me a broken down car..
Adjusting all the plugs under my hood, I reached in to far...
.
I touched and fondled every mound and tendency inside of me..
All my heart needed, was a bran new battery..
I found my own cure, reviving my broken heart disease..
Blocking the sunburn from jumping of my heart like a trapeze..
I got rocks stored in my pocket, that came with a guarantee..
Sustaining weight on my weakened knees, reassuring me warranty
***by~ SUSAN BURCH
That I will get through this, without you to drive
I have a map of the world, traced on my thighs…
You may have held the moon, but not anymore
There are millions of galaxies for me to explore …
Once I face the dark and horrible truth
That I didn’t like who I was, with you…
That’s why I shouldn’t be starving, for your attention
When all you gave me, were paltry inventions…
Instead I’ll wave bye, at my shriveled heart’s cost
And immediately stop sniffing, our love’s exhaust…
In time you’ll be nothing but a tumbleweed
A random thought I won’t even keep…
When I’m fully restored, you’ll be left in the dust
And I’ll be stronger than I ever was …

Run— jump
Settles— follows
Cob-Web theorem
Into the water of the bucket
Finally
Bungee jump from the majestic hill top
wow!It makes me fly high across the sky
My exuberance,it is just non stop
Now I am a bright buoyant butterfly
Lost in the divine sounds of the nature,
I am literally floating on air
Despite the regular fear and danger
I love the beautiful treetop view here
I could discern the magnificent lake
amidst the ravishing lofty mountains
The emphatic crystal blue water makes
it more adorable and astounding
I've never seen such a fabulous place
Let me plunge into the cool lake,I wish
There once was a donkey
He was married to a horse
Donkey was to stubborn
So the donkey got a divorce
Cleaver was the ways of the hen
She married a bucking rooster
He took her by the wing then
Tried to seduced her
Don't want no green eggs N ham
Don't want to go on the lamb
I am, I am horsey running away
Chickens can't fly they may leap and jump
Think I'm gonna have Popeye's Chicken for lunch, :) ha! ha! Ha!

WRITTEN BY JAMES EDWARD LEE SR.
JUMP IN JOY
I slept under punches last night,
Smiled to the hypocrisy of guns on my face,
Wondering how many night and days I should live,
And you still want me to jump in joy.
I wear uniform that has never witnessed water,
I am satisfied with the saliva that feels my stomach,
The mid-day sun curses me when I arrive at school,
And you still want me to jump in joy.
The roads look like my brother wounds,
The farms scream as my bones reply in anger under my stomach,
My dog was last to bury in the long list of the milky ones I buried,
And you still want me to jump in joy.
I wondered if you live like me,
But I saw you giving speeches and promises to soothe us,
In your big bellies I saw my rights,
And you still want me to jump in joy.
If I cry then I am stubborn to you,
If I am angry then I am disrespectful to you,
If I talk then I know nothing to you,
And you still want me to jump in joy.
Jump up high, jump, don't come down
Fear nothing, smile, twirl and turn
Jump higher still, feel the sun burn
Don't come down, don't drown, don't drown
Lift your head, your eyes, see inside
See colours, fractals, see melody
Dance to music, hear deep, set free
Don't come down, don't drown, don't hide
Let it spread your growing unknown wings
Fly tornado, torrent, split the sky
Trample rainbows, close your eyes
Don't come down, don't hide, just zing
Just zing and zest, be wonderful and wild
Dance who you are, man, woman, child

I stole Milne's painting,
now in photographic film, splayed
on a foreign screen,
in a landscape void of life,
and hey- I'm not too proud of it.
But who would be?
of an image within an image,
a facsimile of vision,
and a breath of death,
exhumed with other bones:
those scattered remains
of Great Canadian Poets,
and I shudder at the name-
"A Country North of Belleville…"
untouched on the page,
and never the same,
as uncovered
by that beer-drinkin' man,
stumbling through the trees
like trylobites, like bones,
like soft outlines of fading beige
turning brown
as long fallen leaves,
entombed under a siege of snow,
expressed, under careful scrutiny
almost a century ago
