Can't catch a single one
Something to grab a stone
And poke it in the head
At last, I catch one.

May we be blessed to always…
with the child within us stay attuned…
May we never stop chasing rainbows
or trying to catch the moon.

because I couldn't catch one
and I know no virgin maid

emotional
butterfly net

In the wayward breeze 
I need walk the golden sands
Of Gran Alacant,
dwell awhile inside your breath
to feel you all around me.

Premium Member What a Catch

I wore enough makeup

I was in witness protection.

first dates are like that—
turned out he was the one
that got arrested.

Catch joy when you can
Like a butterfly twirling away
And keep near the heart.
If not, joy will escape your grip too
And fly by somebody else's head.

I'D Like To Catch the Rainbow Tail

I'd like to catch the rainbow tail,
But hope is nothing for the reason
And graveyard's full of dreams (they fail)
And wonders are there like in prison.

Catch the Moon

The tree caught the moon
In his branches. The passing
Of night makes her leave,

But each sundown brings
Her back round to his arms again;
She always returns.

Deadliest Catch

Grandpa was a jolly old winker.
And I was a nine year old stinker.
He was a fish getter
But I did him one better...
I caught Grandpa... hook, line, and sinker!

Premium Member A catch



                    two Robins scurry
           stop and go across the lawn
              worm lunch in their beaks

Premium Member Catch of the Day

A merman once jumped o’er my rail,
And we shared four gallons of ale!
I don’t kiss and tell
But my panties fell
And that was my best piece of tail!
