Short Hammocks Poems

water
changing sky
red sun
weeping willow
tangled vines
from field to store
your never alone
hammocks
raindrops falling
spring is in the air

gliding above tinted sands
body forms through hammock holes
legs dangle side to side while
toes barely catch mini grains

Long summer days bid everyone
To finish the work to be done
But also think of ways
To do nothing but laze
In hammocks hung far from the sun.

Theme - Loving Food.

People Chubby
Short and Stubby.

Hearty Eaters
Egg Beaters.

Gaining Weight
Without Faith.

Filling Stomachs
Lying in Hammocks.

What a Folly
O how Jolly.

Loving Food
Always in the Mood....

   "Hammock Trapeze"


pink powder puff clouds caress

ornate hammock with fair kiss

silky velvet fabric feels

petals starry-eyed trapeze.

A Beach Scene
Ocean waves
Ocean breezes
Turquoise seas
Ninety degrees
Coconut trees
High tides
Swinging hammocks 
Sky Juice
Pink Sand
Tidal pools
Sea Shells
Conch Shells
Sand castles
Swimming
Snorkeling
Parasailing
Jet skis
Lifeguards
Summer tunes
8pm sunset
no other place 
on earth I would rather be !...

Summertime 
             sombreros hammocks
         imbibing sweating traipsing 
     beach sunbathing lake ice skating 
          gorging freezing stumbling 
             balaclavas eiderdowns 
                     Wintertime

Sunday lazy day hammocks in the wind
Monday snooze alarms the work week begins
Tuesday the taco rage drinking too much gin
Wednesday on camel back over the hump again
Thursday Mighty Thors Day deciding to stay in
Friday the money craze right into the weekend
Saturday is everything college football starts at ten
These are the days of our life for most women & men

Treehouses, yurts, airstream trailers 
Ticket to utopia
Velvet curtains, kaftans, capes
Come with me
Ladders, fire station pole, slides
Promises promises 
Cushions, hammocks, vesper breezes
Forget the thinking
Music, sounds of nature, yodelling
Sometimes yodelling... 
Mountain tops, goats on ledges, light snow fall
Ski lifts, snow angels, apre ski
Ticket to utopia 
Imagine imagining creativity...

A slice of sun rises over Oahu
like a pineapple ripened to yellow-gold;
an island paradise under drapes of blue
shining in morning mist on hibiscus, bold.

Behold the beauty of Hawaiian legend -
in tropical breezes, blooms sway, tilt and bend,
and hammocks of petals drenched in bright arrays
are made into splendor of welcoming leis.

Chasing of dreams through time shaken seasons
Forming and shaping of whispery wills
Weaving and wending through common place living
Crutches and handholds like miracle pills
Places to go to when breathers are needed
Hammocks of cool shaded  quiet  away
Beside hot rutted roadways of unending  hills
Questions and answers and working all day
A cold glass of poetry sipped on the way
Held in a callused and tremoring hand
Still ready and willing to play...
