Inanity
Virginia Salter

The moon came over the mountain
as the stars fell into the sea
The coins dropped into the fountain
to make a wish for me.

A friend is as good as a mile
a miss, quite good, you see
The pigs flew over the stile
and the bumble went off with the bee.

The morning had broken at the crack of dawn
As daybreak shattered my world
All flags rose to the mast of half
so valiantly unfurled.

The breeze of the sea seemed enchanted
the salt air seasoned just right
We’d strode where our feet were planted
as the day dissolved into night.

Virginia...I liked the rhythm of this piece...second verse especially reminded me of Lewis Carrol a bit!  Was very visual for me...thanks.

Thanks so much, serenity.  I wrote this this morning after reading a verse regarding a "List of Poet's Nevers" on another forum. If you'd like to see the delightful piece, go to www.voy.com/1001 and it's by Heartfelt.  I think you'll enjoy the read.

Just want you to know that I spelled the title exactly the way I wanted.  I didn't mean insanity, although it may be insanity to coin inane in that form.
