Zany Words Zany is the words that spar Echoing from near and far Searching for the daffodils Where lilies now crowd the hills Shorter are the nights for me Sailing on its misty sea Weaker are the winds that blow Fewer are the seeds I sew Dimmer is my Adams shore Nearly closed my Eden’s door Fog has hid horizons view Clog now chokes of nothing new I do not fish I’ve used my bate The time 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 |

You search for nothing more than we Some love and time to share Alas the years may never see The dream we hold in there But through your words and passion's plea You search your world to find The sirens you many never see Except for in your mind But isn't life devin to know There's others here as you Tears and fears and doubt may grow But we all feel them too. Hope you are well my friend, thank you for sharing this with me today. Sincerely Rick |

I have to say this is one of my favourites by you Seymour. "I do not fish I’ve used my bate The time is short I cannot wait" I really liked these lines. The use of bate was an interesting piece of word play. Hmmm, I think this is one for my library. Thank you for sharing, Seymour.

Mr. T., you have a uniquely expressive way with words ~ zany and otherwise! Years from now, if you chance to revisit this going out to pasture sort of poem, you will say to yourself, "What the dickens was that young rooster thinking about!?!" ![]() Angel hugs 'n kisses, EA |
