Tiny cotton candied clouds--
rainbows realm enwrapped in shroud..
I used to be so very proud,
and now I have just passed away.

Silver arrows pierce pink heart
sour melt of the sweet tart--
too bad--how sad--to end at start--
and now I simply slip away.

And yes it's true, the Mares eat oats;
(I'm digging for the antidote)
And Does, yanno, (they eat them too...)
I'll save the crunchies just for you.
Little lambs will nibble ivy
just as sun sets sail behind me.

Little kids eat ivy too.
If you were starving, wouldn't you?

The sun is melting in my mouth
Overcast clouds arrive from the south
Floating by like pollen without reach
So very tasty and soft as a peach

This vision of hunger sits on my tongue
Turning back time, stopping at young
Sweet tooth glitters and shines in your smile
Laughing with friends forever and a while

You do the most wondeful things with poetry, yanno? I love this!  

Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.

I'd like to thank you all for your kindness, although I am not too happy with the outcome of this one....was meant to be a more biting piece---guess the sarcasm was not strong enough, but I hey, I gotta watch it sometimes...Smiles to all, and this one shall be put on the back burner for perhaps a re-write...thank you!
