delicate whimsy was her game
Her theme being the surreal
clearly she was the 'real deal'

Her sense of whimsy made us smile.
Hanging by feet on a lemon tree.
Pondering the Egyptian Nile.
She has outgrown our small town you see.

Whimsy

how whimsy can best be defined
relates to the home of each mind
in England it's easy
but Yanks make you queasy
protesting that humor's maligned.

Premium Member Autumn's Balm

Autumn…
             Grips summer’s hand
           Slyly – at time’s whimsy
 Quelling heated, tantrumed outbursts
                    …Cool rain

summer was ending
its fantasy and magic
and the way time would seem to linger
no doubt the memories would last forever

A mean giant came to hear me speak.
Through Biggest Mountain he did peek.
I felt instant terror,
down to my leg hair,
I was so cowed, I could barely speak.

To fil the dreams of childhood whimsy
His sex life is cold
Be he brazen or bold
Only comes once a year, down a chimney

Premium Member Mayo the Rabbit

Mayo the rabbit has a very strange habit,
but he isn’t a monk or a nun.
He spreads out on ham, lettuce, cheese, bacon, spam
that’s been sliced up and placed in a bun.

Gaze upon wit
See whimsy fit


Sense a warm glow
As whimsy flows


Jest just for fun
Ply beyond pun


If you but see
Count on whimsy

weaving without wonderment within woods wisdom 
where wily weather whips Windy Wilbur's whimsy
we wait wondering whether Windy Wilbur's whistle works.

teenage bombshell

the future in your eyes
caught at crossroads

on a whimsy

Premium Member on the edge of sleep

Whimsy flowers
On the edge of sleep
Mirage-like echoes
Singing off key
Arias
Challenge
The closing curtain
Whispers
Hidden 
In the dusk
Of dreams
Dance
In the vapory mist
Of sleep’s
Oasis.

Premium Member Porch Lights

Glistening lights across my porch
Giving her a whisper of whimsy
I love having them up there
They are a reflection of me
Fragile, yet showy
Dazzling in a quiet, joyful way
Fantastically decorative and fun!
