~~~~~~
Riding on the Merry-Go-Round,
And being six or just seven.
I remember the heavenly music!
Thought I had gone to heaven.
The sparkling gold horse was so
Beautiful to see....
I see her now, through the
Periscope of a young girl's memory.
The polished wood floors,
The cotton canty scented air.
Brown braids dancing joyously in the
Stunning summer day's air with flair.
Such memories shine though years passed.
And yet.... she still lives within me!
Penning poetry,full of spark and sass!

Summer Sprays and Spews
Summer sprays upon the subtle sands
As the rainbows rally in their halo hues
And lovers loving holding hopeful hands
For nature nurtures a nestled canty cue
For the rains rejoice as they splashily spill
As the valleys bow to the mountain peaks
There is great concern amongst the daffodil
And the perky pine kiss each other’s cheeks
The sunshine spews its radiant ludic light
As the rapt robins take care of their young
The rivers running rapid in their ritual rite
And bees are happy for they’ve not stung
Our succulent summer brings a life anew
For we love and frolic in the forests green
Starring at soothing skies of bounteous blue
Soaking in the sun in a lover’s lusty cuisine.
