morning songbirds sing
romping in the spring sunlight
frowning house cat waits...

two lovers romping,
young springtime is more fun
than a winter nap

Youthful minds romping
Wafting through gardens of dreams.
Amid real world woes –

This year has been lacking in summer sun.
No kids romping on beaches having fun.
Its done nothing but rain,
This weather's a big pain.
Our transition to rain forest's begun....

“Are you expecting?”, expecting what I say
A courier package or perhaps a brand new sleigh 
A sleigh Santa wishes for
Fly like in days of yore
Spend time with the naughties romping in the hay...

cowgirl stomping
rodeo romping
pasture clomping
faster chomping
joyful cowgirl boots

embroidered with a flower
wrinkled from a shower
with all kinds of kicking power
cowgirl stomping romping clomping boots...

Romping air flying runs
Rule space for Christmas fun.
Rare deer perform roof sails.
Ready female and males
Roam earth on sledding rails.
Rudolph no zero, but
Red nosed and loved hero.

Playing in sunshine
is a twirling girl and cat
Meows and laughter
Romping away sweet moments
until the day is drowsing

In tall green grasses
pretty kitty's soon sleeping
in shadows of day
The orange sun's retreating
in meadow of memories...

Donkey in the farm, strong hoofs romping
Wonky when you charm, long spoofs hooting

Donkey standing as you stare, shy when you dare
Teeth grinning as you glare, dry when you blare

Sweet and gentle that sire, donkey of your eye
Lifeguard under fire, wise and clean with your lye...

The question, “are you expecting?”... expecting what, I say
A UPS parcel or perhaps a brand new sleigh, 
A sleigh is what Santa wishes for
To fly like in the old days of yore
To spend time with the naughty girls romping for hours in the hay

Puppy Love

It’s just puppy love they say,
me romping with you all day.
Oh well, what’s a little roll in the hay
when you’re my toy, boy, and I wanna play.

Forgotten angels weep and mutter,
For unfortunate devils romping on earth…
With ragged wings, and tear soaked feathers,
Forgotten angels weep and mutter.
Peering down upon imps, guardian hearts aflutter
--Glass strings break, the heavens are no longer heard.
Forgotten angels weep and mutter,
For unfortunate devils romping on earth…...

Come, let's go to the lake!
It's Spring and I am your
dove-in-waiting to take.

The dogs all out romping in
the freshly-contented grass.
I will listen to your Poetry and
give you no sass!

Two poetic souls bound as 
newborn ones.
Wrapped in Spring grass and
warmed by the benevolent sun.

I can feel winters chill,

I see snow falling from my windowsill,

time to go out and play,

my dogs, they love the snow today,

jumping and romping around,

all else is still,  there is no sound,

letting out their energy, and making some great memories,

now I do enjoy this season,

cause my Buddy and Duke, they gave me the reason....

Joyful jumping, oh so jolly,
try it in a tram or trolley
Jiggle, juggle, Jane's tamale,
a laugh, a lark, fine, fun folly. 

Happy, hopping, silly stomping,
rarified and risky romping,
bouncing Bonnie's butterscotch,
hilarious, howling hoppyscotch.

Lofty leaping, crazy creeping,
mindful mother's mostly sleeping,
but don't bop with Betty's brisket,
she'll conk you, bonk you, no, don't risk it....

Hiya, howdy, hey, and hello.
Juggle jams and jiggle jello.
Jumping joyfully, and jolly,
try it in a tram or trolley.

Happy, hopping, silly stomping,
rollicking and rowdy romping,
bouncing, bubbly butterscotch,
hilarious, howling, hot hopscotch.  

Lofty leaping, crazy creeping,
slipping, sliding, squawking, squeaking,
Care for cookies, candies, or cakes?
Such silly sounds, for heaven's sakes....

ARCTIC HEARTBREAK

                  Romping seas spew fog--
                  Defeat blue skies winter foes--
                  Protection for broken hearts

                  Whenever you leave 
                  North Seas leap -- frigid madness
                  You steal moon’s golden halo

                  My heart is frozen
                  Northern Lights seek to comfort
                  But never thaw my sorrow...

Kissed by the sun, sweet alfalfa in waving oceans that
Animals adore when dried into golden hay.
Noon breaks enjoying lunch under an ancient oak with
Songs from the wayward wind for company.
A tire swing hanging in wait for school to be out
Shares mem’ries of new born calves romping in the meadows.

Each wonderful season in Kansas holds an enchanted delight,
But heavenly scented lilacs in spring time let my soul take flight....

The lights went out; the power died.
We had to call Con Ed.
Three hours later, it was fixed
And this is what they said:

A squirrel on a wire outside
Decided he would chew it.
He took one bite and that was all
It took for him to do it.

The loss was 20 houses wide,
All due to foolish chomping.
That squirrel should have stuck to
Just his daily feats of romping.

Instead, our power up and died
And all because a squirrel fried....

You tell me your leaving 

Impersonal over the phone

Couldn't you at least write me a Poem

Spelling out why

Or was I just small fry

You overcooked 

Because you weren't paying attention 

Romping up the temperature 

Drained on old newspaper 

Yesterday's news in small print 

You never really cared about 

Hanging on your arm whilst you looked out

For something better to come along

And sweep you off your feet...

kitty elf can't you see those presents were meant for me,
you opened up my barbie, and lost one of her shoes.
naughty kitty elf, those twinkling lights were not for you,
but to light up all I do.
kitty elf I have had enough of your joyous romping on my christmas stuff,
so next year my little friend you will find a special package just for you
a kitty cage to keep my tree safe from your christmas joy,
and next my toys you will not enjoy....

Rats! Rats! Rats!
Romping, frolicing, ruckussy rats!
Cuddly, bubbly, lovably rats!
Pestering, menacing, troublesome rats!
Rats! Rats! Rats!

Getting in your hair
Crawling through open holes
Bouncing ‘round from chair to chair
Licking leftover food out of bowls

Tickling, bothersome
Pickling, lothersome
Just plain nuisancy 
RATS!

*I wrote this poem at the age of 12 and I want to share it here in honor of World Rat Day (April 4)...

Lazing in a hammock swing,
dreaming of what summers bring.

Romping in the swimming hole;
pleasant moments I have stole.

Dabbling in a happy brook;
fish and frogs in every nook.

Watching rabbits on the lawn,
happ'ly playing in the dawn.

Romping in the swimming hole;
pleasant moments I have stole.

Flowers wafting in the breeze,
while their pollen makes me sneeze.

Hatchlings in a lofty nest;
parents out on their food quest....

Some things are hereditary.
Not necessarily from parents or grandparents,
You can inherit them from elements.

Look at the Earth! 
So shy and recluse and introvert
For the last few months of Fall and Winter
Is now romping on the ramp 
In exotic costumes
Walking asymptotically
Assured of her grace
Wafting onlookers to the bourns of ecstasy!

On her trail 
Even heavens grow goosebumps
For having watched her
Without batting an eyelid!
