Yellow elephant
How odd you appear
In the light of a harvest moon
Baggie shorts, neon sneakers
Crown of dandelions
Encircling your big, fat,
beautiful head.
No matter!
I love you regardless—
Where else could I find
So warm & loving an embrace?
Wonderful imagery, Julie. Love it.💕
Thanks, Grace. This is one of the poems I used for the Postcard Poetry Festival this past summer. Are you familiar with this? When you register, your name and address is added to a list of 29-30 other names. Then in the month of August, you send a postcard – you can create your own which is part of the fun or use a purchased card – and on it you write a by-the-seat-of-your-pants poem which is sent to each of the names on the list. In return, you will receive a postcard from each of the others on that list. It is great fun and I’ve collected some very clever poems and wonderfully designed cards. You might want to check it out!
Wow. That sounds great. Will definitely look into. Thank you so much for sharing.💕
