Sunshine brightens the lawn
squirrels frolicking around
those nasty evil tree rodents
tormenting the poor dogs
no, wait, no tormenting
dogs are too busy sleeping
soaking up the sunshine
it is a hard life they live
they keep vigilant watch
protecting me from harm
in the sun with eyes closed
scaring the evils with snores
I love those two clueless mutts!
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
It always strikes me the way you either rant, or dig deep for inspiration, or observe, or simply play with thoughts and ideas to make the readers smile or laugh. Thoughts, not deep, not intense, are like a cool drink on a thirsty day.
