I went outside to smoke
the grass

Weed is still,
against the law

I spread some poison
on
my lawn

All my neighbors now
are green

The rivers
all
got tired of running

Someone,
left the faucet on

Except the ones in all the
gutters

Soon y’all will miss
a sippy

The puddle ponders
its
existence

It wanted, to
become a lake

It’s learning how to
take,
the light

And give,
it back
to where it came

The fog that’s drifting
overhead

Has
a moment of
reflection

It’s hard to know just
who
you are

When your head
is in
a cloud

The sky keeps trying
different
colors

It can’t decide which one to wear

Mother nature is,
a woman

First a bright one, now
a gray

How do we define forever

When
we’re still afraid
of never

How can something
ever last

When our love is
in
the past

We are made of mostly
moisture

We are offspring
of
the sea

I guess when all the waters
gone

We will chug our oceans
too

Every planet is,
a tear
that
the heavens cried

I will true forever
love you
till,
the end of tide

Heh.Heh You got that right Richy, and maryjewanna will keep it in the clouds. Tried it back in the sixties, just made me hungry and sleepy. I was a speed freak.

To read you, dear Richy, means to jump into an adventure, where your inspiration gives birth to visions and emotions that sprout in quick sequence all around the reader, who then finds him/herself in midst of a unique garden full of unique flowers with unique fragrances. Quite a deed!!

Going to enjoy once again your very special offering.

Love,
Margherita
