Pageantry*

Front yard swing or back oasis,
They are making fun filled spaces
Where it's seen on smiling faces
Life is made at ease,
"Look, there in the breeze!"
Orchards have them, parks do also,
Hide and seeking where e'er we go,
In a seabed or a plateau,
"All ye in come free!"
There's a noble steed
Waiting for our "I'm safe" slapping,
Climbing, clubhouse, or just napping
Underneath an overlapping
Limb menagerie,
Every kind of breed,
Oaks and birches, pines and maples,
All the odd ones, all the staples,
Every kind of one the ape knows
Grows abundantly
In our reverie
Of the pageant tree.


God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

Delightful poem, Bob...granddaughters are such delights, too. I have three and one grandson. They are the gifts of life. Magic carpets, consisting of the chromatic threads of past generations, having the potential to carry us well into the future.
