Frolicking Foolishness
It is good to be a fool once in a while,
What an extraordinary feeling to be a fool!
To know nothing,
To know everything,
Yet not convincing your heart—The most brilliant buffoon,
Letting your heart float like a boat
Without an anchor
In the middle of a lake illuminated by the half moon that looks like a piece fallen from

Counting elves, imps, gremlins, and brownies as friends
Dancing with lively, lithe little steps, appealing to most

Frolicking Friendly Fricken Floppy Fish
Frolicking friendly fricken floppy fish
Splashed with contentment in his glass bowl dish
It’s time to make a wish, make a wish, make a wish
Said faerie godmother of this cute little fish
I have more than enough, the fricken floppy fish said.
I am happy with my home, this coral reef is my bed
You must make a wish, the

the jacks are frolicking again
The jacks are frolicking again I heard TomTom yell.
We ran outside to see the result of the witches’ spell.
Jack-o-lanterns were sitting quietly not doing a thing.
Come on! Dance! Yelped TomTom, and do it with zing.
The jacks sat silently, not moving the least little bit.
TomTom stomped off angry after throwing a baby fit.
Gossipy cat was not

Frolick through flowers
For hours; here lies nature’s door.
Heavens manifest
Upon lovely Mother Earth.
Joy found in falling petals.

Autumn Frolicking
The children are jumping in the leaves
Last Autumn frolics before the cold
They’ve rolled up their long sleeves,
Overheated, they are sweaty, I’m told
Covered with leaves, brown and gold.
The coming rain will create a soggy pile
No longer suitable for fun and game
Children will prefer to dance with style,
Indoors, until they are tired and lame,
Preferring to watch the

Four Friendly Fat Frolicking Bees
Four fluffy fat frolicking friendly bumble bees
On a mission to make music for mice to make them sneeze.
Liked the idea of stealing off with their flowers and cheese.
Without having to be polite, use manners, or even say please.

Frolicking Flirty Elusive Entities

Frolicking With Friendly Goats
Friendly goats are holding me hostage today.
They are hop-dancing in my yard; they want to play!
I looked out at 6:30, I said, “no way!”
“Come on!” shouted the big brown one, “We plan to stay.”
Watched them frolic and skip, they made me smile.
I guess I could go out for a little while.
Husband did not know,

Lambs Frolicking
SERPENTS’ TAIL POETRY – LAMBS FROLICKING
LAMBS FROLICKING
Lambs frolicking in the meadow,
learning adult skills, never
picking up on the farmers true
wills, the slaughterhouse,
Louse, ticks, all manner of tiny
beasties, the drench, the paddle,
the farmer knows what he’s doing,
the ewes not given any clues.
Ewes live a full life, not knowing
what is hiding around the corner,
until that day they’ll play,

Frolicking Kitten and Butterflies
Both beautiful bright butterflies and bees
Fluttering over flourishing flower fields
In sustaining space and symmetric ease
All the gentle joys a wonderland yields
Fluttering over flourishing flower fields
My persistent sounds are softly heard
All the gentle joys a wonderland yields
As a calico kitten, I meow and purr
My persistent sounds are softly heard
Rolling and frolicking on God’s earth
As
