Ecstatic by his soft touch.
Asked, "Wanna make love?"
Gleefully I said, "yes, please!"
Suddenly felt at an ease....

To write her poetry while on the can
Her pen’s been known to scoop
A sprinkling of poop
And gleefully to let it hit the fan

A zillion worms he'd gleefully dangled
Lies cold and squirming, and sadly doth glean
He's feast for the worms used while he angled...

giggling guzzling grapeade they’d greedily made
with gadgets gone wild

October game
America’s football
An extension of cheerleaders
Happily, gleefully thrown into air
Captivating the crowd’s magic

be like the torrents 
of a joyful creek,

playfully surging 
upon rocks 
and boulders,

gleefully gurgling, bubbling,
splashing down the edge
of a rainbow waterfall....

Gleefully Chipper
Cheerfully Glad
You are the family
I never had
You don't judge me
You let me be me
You are my best friend
You are  family
In one I confide 
such dignity brings
A magical ride...

I eat away my sorrow
I binged…a caged bird

I binged...I’m so uncured
I eat away tomorrow
I’m winged – set-free bird

I am delighted
I binged...I’m so immature
Gleefully hazy...

By the artist who feels gleefully satisfied with his work....

Cup-handed (gleefully)
But the cup is full of whiskey now
I fumbled (shamefully)

My mind is cluttered now
My indignation: your sympathy...

their intermittent beacons 
calling out a mate.
Chased gleefully by 
children in the dark.
Carefully placed in a mason jar.
Observed closely by young eyes
then gently released into the grass....

Dark shadows greet me gleefully
Welcoming me back with delight
Nurturing me regally
Magical forest of my heart

Uplifting me so wonderfully
Mossy plush mushrooms in my sight
The oak trees standing majestically
Magical forest of my heart...

we ran gleefully

chasing the summer’s fireflies

putting them in jars. . . 

those warm nights of our childhood -

they flickered, and then were gone
