Short Picnicked Poems

Tom Wright

There once was a woman named Sadie,
Who lived on a street that was shady,
She picnicked on the grass,
Just as she’d done as a lass,
And Ms. Sadie was seven and eighty.

We stood in the drizzle
In the far meadows;
You danced in that f’gotten garden
On my flute;
We picnicked in there the wild highs,
I lifted you up high in my arms

I remember those Saturdays in the park
We picnicked and played the live-long day,
As I recall, nothing seemed ominous or stark

Softball, horseshoes, badminton ‘til dark
Seems life was filled up with fun and play
I remember those Saturdays in the park,
We picnicked and played the live-long day.

with a shower of bright leaves 
pushing summer out

Summer whose stay is too soon gone.

Our summer, this year, was a winner.
We picnicked, vacationed and played.
The thermostat peaked before dinner
as we drank lemonade in the shade
and watched glorious sunsets fade

                      we picnicked
                  Butt 'gainst the wet
                   we had umbrellas
                 and the barbecue pit
          we roasted the marshmallows
         But the finest were yet to come
There'd be the pitch of night and the flames
 from the pit likewise the green of her eyne
