hard to read each pun
which will happen upon us
once upon a time

when he was wishing
while line on water swishing
he had been fishing

while at Westminster
really had been sinister
was such a spinster

should hear him squealing
trying to hide true feeling
never appealing

It’s wonderful when you have a thought in your head
that you’re all set to put into a poem or a letter…
and then you happen upon a person, 
like Marianne Williamson…who has already said it better:

Light is to darkness
What love is to fear;
In the presence of one
The other disappears…

I happen upon a veteran, once,
An old man
With a four-sprang cane
And war tales
Stretched like China wall.
This event transpired in very recent past.
The man turned out to be pterodactyl
And flew away. 
I fell upon a boy, once,
A once child soldier,
A hero
Released
From youth and life.
Oh, how time has changed.
Men are taught to bicker,
Children are trained to fight.

Itsy Bitsy spider went up the wall of shower.
Itsy Bitsy spider, grabbed with piece of paper.
Itsy Bitsy spider was placed in toilet water.
Itsy Bitsy spider, wished he was in hamper.
Itsy Bitsy spider was now stuck in the crapper.
Itsy Bitsy spider went down in swirling water.
To take a shower, with an Itsy Bitsy spider,
Was not going to happen, upon any hour,
Without any cower, she finished her shower.

Replenish the Spring within our souls
Let dreams slumbered live in daylight
Happen upon us another chance
To find joy in dance when steps alight

Rejuvenate that which lives within
Give wings to olden feet that falter
Perchance for us another to share
Romance in true loves requisite halter

 
Allow the breeze to blow in favor
On heads sprinkled lovingly with snow
To swing in another’s warm embrace
Basking in the warmth of true loves glow

So thoughtfully planted, these treats for your sight
Long awaited blooms rising up to the light
Under your care as they thrive poised in the sun
Gorgeous petals admired one-by-one 
Beckoning those who should happen upon them 
As the slow and sly grasp roots for ascension
In expectation of the coming reward for their hikes
Thanks left in slime for the delectable bites.

sounds
 of pity 
    surface
as
moods ripple
&epitaphs
      happen upon
      the legacies
of life..
..
questions flee
in a mask
of be
belief
as issues
melt away
      as shadows
      of Autumn..
..
reason
dressed with bliss
with thoughts
that rain..
        on images
that 
blossom
        at the margins
and
stir desire..
..
whilst
    today
      stumbles
into
tomorrow
        without
          a
             wave

inspired by poetry of Macneice
