Zany Words

Zany is the words that spar
Echoing from the near and far
Searching for the daffodil
Lilies now upon the hill

Shorter are the nights for me
Sailing on a diamond sea.
Weaker are the winds that blow
Fewer are the seeds I sew.

Dimmer is the misty shore
Nearly closed the Adams door
Nearer is horizons view, for
To my look there’s nothing new.

I do not fish I have no bate
The line is short I cannot wait
And thus to zany words I laugh
These words that seem an epitaph

Alas my friends disparity
Has filled my bags sagacity.

Leave the fishing to the fools...
forget golf ... way too many rules.
You only need your poets pen ...
rhymed reprise writes you young again.

I dont wanna hear of sagacity ...
it's a waste of your infinity.
They say you are young as you feel ...
if we believe, then the fountain of youth is real.


You have to live life long to have truths to be told ...
It's just a fact, you cant be this wise and not be old.

Zany is as zany does
in our do's and as ever was
a bit of form less -ality
a bit of special bite, reality...

still many years to treasure, thus,

I do not fish I have no bate

Seymour, sweets... that's just the time to go fishing! *G* If you catch anything, you have to clean it... just lie back and enjoy the dragonfly races and cloud formations... and conceal the gleam in your eye as you sadly shake your head at the end of the day admitting you didn't get a single bite. *G*

As always, a delight to read. *S*

seymour darling heart there you go spinning another glorious delight that covers my mind with such a delight. I used to be one of the early birds now I’m one of the night owls, what does this say about me? Possibly I’m turning into a creature of the night. Oh spooky.

Who needs bait to catch a fish?
You have the charm for a fresher dish
And when you dangle the hook like so
All those poetic phrases simply flow
Onto your line and you catch them to
Oh what is a poetic phrase to do?
There it was not minding its fate
But you caught it without a hint of bait
But all the best phrases long to be
Used in Seymour’s perfect poetry
So the choice they have is this
To lie free or to dance in poet’s bliss
      These words you sprinkle in poet’s line
       Like all your phrases are super fine

Truly another sparkling wonder how do you do it day after day, I utterly utterly love it


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Beautifully said, Sy... but I think you still sew many seeds of lovely poems

That's true you don't need bait for a ball retriever, thanks for the thumbs up.

Mr. T., your bags are so full of "sagacity" that it doesn't matter if you have fewer seeds to sew!
