If I were an eagle
    And the cliff was my home
I would soar through the skies
    All the earth I would roam

If I were a monkey
    Living up in a tree
I'd swing through the jungle
    With my thoughts running free

If I were a sea horse
    A large wave I would ride
Recapture the magic
    Through the water I'd glide

But I'm just a person
    As simple as can be
So happy that I am
    Just Little ol' me

smiling wide...

It's so lovely to meet you, Eloise.

Are you Irish by any chance?

I ask because your poem reminds me so of a ditty I heard in an old movie once:

"If the ocean were whiskey
and I were a duck
I'd dive to the bottom
and never come up!"



Yours is lovelier, methinks.

And I am in obvious angst over the loss of my scotch, or even Irish whiskey would do...

<--somebody pick 'er up, will ya?

*laughing*

But anyhow...

Your quatrains are tightly metered and the flow was grand. Thank you, for helping me to remember a delight of a movie, too.

Sleepytime tea for me now. And some melatonin? And maybe tylenol p.m.

g'nite and nice to meet you in such a lovely way.

serenity - no I'm not Irish, but a bit of that Irish Whiskey sounds good! I loved your little ditty!  Thank you for your kind words.  Nice to meet you as well.  It's good to be back posting again.  Sleep tight.

~ You may be just a person
As simple as can be
But I am glad that you are you
'Cause you write great poetry!
