A Fine Holiday

reading poetry,
reading rhyme,
just a wee bit
before bed time,
saw a poet’s
words of
response,
held aloft,
a bit of taunt,
he said that
one poem
would make
for a fine
holiday
to see,
well, to this
my fine lad,
I would say….
let be

a poet’s mind
is a holiday,
a forever
and a say,
it mixes quick
the words that
flow,
and with a stick,
a wand,
just so,
it makes a day
seem much
more bright,
or creates
concern,
or levies
fight

to fight
for right,
a cause,
a score,
a poet’s
mind
is
forevermore

so young poet,
heed this plea,
let all poets
on holiday
be,
let all poets
in their
rhyme,
find cause to
cheer,
or give just
time,

but let the
poet
be
transfixed,
by magic
that comes
swift and quick,

by words
that transform,
by feelings
that be,
by moments
in time,

that’s
poetry

write with grace, all others lose face;
"Jo was very tall, thin, ... and reminded one of a colt..." LMA

Yes, Lady, lol, I agree. I know MY mind is quite often on Holiday!

Lifting my coffee cup to you in salute on this lovely, QUIET, Monday morning!

(Before SPRING BREAK!

And I'm just not gonna think about it. Nope. I am Serene. I am Serene. I am... see? on holiday!)

My mind is never on holiday, probably the cause of some of the stranger stuff i write. Thanks for such a great piece!
