Can you change my dime
without giving me pennies?
I prefer nickels.

He fancies himself a Yankee Doodle
He does, my nattily coiffed French Poodle
   Struts with nose in the air
   Flaunting his layered hair 
Just got him a playmate ~ a grizzly bear...

He was an unusual boy
Who thought Granny played with his toys
Granny thought it was so cute
She's his playmate in cohoots
Even though she is being coy___  ...

You want to be my playmate
O my love it sounds so great!

I don’t care if it’s a sin
God is not cruel I mean.

Baby at long last I can see
Someone who really loves me.

I feel so lonely you know
I will never let you go....

Carnival and playmate in orange
Preening , twirling, whirling swirling,
Flashing, crashing, but never gnashing
Is she a clown or a comic?
Does she know all of her strengths?
Is her fabulous self-confidence catching?
I decide to stand closer, in case it is....

My Buddy

My Buddy
That’s what I call him
A term of affection
Best of friends

My Buddy
We’re inseparable
Joined at the hip
Two peas in a pod

My Buddy
Playmate for life
Affectionately secure
Intertwined at the heart

My Buddy
Each other’s world
Two of a kind
Father and son...

(A Children's Poem)

Visions form as the cold wind blows 
I watch the flakes, see a carrot nose 
Red scarf around a cold, cold neck
tall black hat, arms of forked sticks

Stay away, sunshine, my friend will die 
his smile will vanish, his buttons will fly 
I will be sad as I contemplate
my long-lost friend by the garden gate...

Smile that smile,
   Trick after trick,
Aqua-powered playmate:
   Click, Click, Click.

Yummy tummy up,
   Flip about;
   Round and round,
   Inside out.

What're you saying?
What do you think?
Underwater Crooner:
   Plink, Plink, Plink.

Burst into song,
Compassionate friend:
Your high-pitched soprano
   My heart does rend....

Spare me your pity and give me your spite,
‘tis a heartier diet for my kind of sprite.
My mothers are banshees who prey on your tears,
my sisters, the furies who feed on your fears.
The daughter of those who wail in the night,
the playmate of sirens, who in sailors delight.
In this land of faery, nightmares are formed;
my lips are the gateway, knight, be forewarned!...

From the ancestors
Generations to generations
Lives carry on like new sprouts 
And flourishing like a jungle
Newborns are our hope
Nowadays newborns are totally different
Imbedded in an aircond surrounding
With love and care
A lot of toys
A lot of playmates
Hyperactive, alert and wise
Will carry on the family tree
And our mission
A mission of love of course...

Dad, I'm Very Proud Of You
Free Verse

God created so many things
Including me and my parents
If I'm in need of someone to play with
You are there dad, as my playmate

I'm just a small lad today
But will over grow my playful days
One thing in my heart embedded  
My love and respect to you my dad.

I'm Very Proud of You,
Happy Fathers' Day and I love You so Much...

love and passion has taken its action
one night of fun, now  look at what's begun
little baby growing slow
little baby held in below
my bundle of joy, my family's new toy
nine months of wait 
to get a new playmate
nine months of wait
a small taste of fate 
little baby, an uplift in my spirit
little baby, she has no limit
because of one night, a new life will ignite....

I watch my young son
Look full-faced into the rugged wind
His blond silken hair is blown about
Like spikes around his elfin-like face.

He knows nothing 
Of how the wind starts
Or how it effects
His cool Maritime climate.

Only that this invisible wind
Tickles his eyes and nose,
Stirs up fallen leaves,
And challenges him to dance
- Open-armed -
Into the deep bosom of the wind....

A MOTHER
Mother sacrifices
She never takes sides

Mother I often wish I were more like you
Not just physically but morally too

You suffer for my sake
Yet,find time to be a playmate for my make

Love,love is a mother's gift
To their precious children their hearts to lift

Nobody's like you,mum
Nobody cares for me like you do, mum

Mothers are wise
Mothers can never be priced...

God knows why I can’t read my own fate!
God knows why love has turned into hate!
God knows I have no more love to waste!
God knows why I am in wretched state!
God knows why we had no tête-à-tête!
God knows why I am not your playmate!
God knows you were like my heaven’s gate! 
God knows how you can now compensate!
God knows your love could make my life great!
But it seems it has become too late!...

An only child, actress, singer, nightclub entertainer
Jayne Mansfield.
Her movie Too Hot to Handle made sense to the people who knew her.
A tomato, lightning, a bonfire, married and divorce numerous times.
She loved her five children and kept her Playboy playmate figure.
Dying in a car crash in New Orleans at the young age of thirty-four.
She lived as if she knew she was running out of time....

Perfect Playmate

puny pink primrose
pursuing phantom pleasure 
pecking playful puff

Quitter

queasy queen questions
quirky quail's quivery quacks -
quill quietly quit

Ride

rain rake rattling raft
river roared ravenously -
rider relished ride

'Twixt the trees of Maes-y-Deri
Flies a winsome little fairy
Searching for the happy sounds
Which once filled the Griffiths' grounds

Winter, springtime, summer, fall
She flies above the grasses tall
Sprinkling teardrops where she flew
To mark her paths with morning dew

She flies alone throughout the years
And never stops to dry her tears
Lest she should miss upon the hill
Her long lost playmate, Little Jill...

Daddy Mike,
What were you like?
You were gone 
when I was a very tiny tike.
 
Daddy Mike,
Was it because of me? 
Was leaving me all you could see?
Surely, you knew how much pain there would be.
A little girl needs her daddy.
 
Daddy Mike,
From abuse and pain
I shed many a tear.
Without you here,
I always felt fear.
 
Daddy Mike,
Abusive babysitter, playmate,
bullies, and family.
Nowhere for me 
to flee.
 
Daddy Mike,
Why were you 
not here?...

Say Say O' My Playmate
come out and
write with me

you bring your
your pencils
three

and we will
scribble
play writes
or
do some
little ditty's

tell a funny joke
or
two

or
maybe three

maybe about
you and me

made up
about
me and you

and made
with some colors
like ocean's blue

that hum
a Cosmic tune

of sweet
Commentaries
that can ramble
a childish tune

to the
sounds of
Crayola Crayons

crying out to you

Come out and play!...

Twas' the night before Christmas and all through my house,
a cat named "Shadow", played and ran around with the mouse!
Not a squeek, nor a sound, he gave a spirit of holiday cheers,
and saw a red suit santa, which scared away his fears!

If he could be with santa always for holidays to celebrate,
and have a happy Christmas, with a "purr-fect", playmate!
Wishing a season filled with love, joy and hope throughout the year,
of a cat like "Shadow", he is special and so very dear!...

I have a friend Lilly, she's a dog
She jumps and plays when she jogs
She's a pit bull and sweet, she is quick on her feet
It sounds strange but she likes to eat frogs

She has the prettiest eyes of her breed
She's a great friend that's sure hard to beat
She's always got gas, and a whole lot of sass
I love her so much, yes indeed

She gives me kisses and hugs
Her playmate is a Rottweiler thug
She can outrun the beans, she's always first on the scene
Her full name is Lilly the Bugs...
