Hi everyone. I just joined this group so I thought I'd offer a few original words to mark the occasion. Looking through the site I was particularly impressed by the Sarah Lindsey poem  'Underground Orchids', posted almost three years ago by Ajita Kamal (it's currently on p.3). I wish I could write serious stuff like that. Maybe one day. This is more my style:

I love to jot a jaunty rhyme about nothing in particular

It simply helps to pass the time when I am not vehicular

I do not worship god or love or ethereal sublimity

I shun all reference to such things, so that is rather limity

So what to write? You may well ask - I seem to have no motive

My words are neither insightful nor personally anecdotive

Of this I sing - the rhyme's the thing! And rhythm too amuses

So try a little verse like mine - it has cathartic uses

Moses saw a burning bush or so the bible claims

Not long after, chiseled out his maker's stated aims

Then he smashed them in disgust and went back for some more

'Thou shalt not this' , 'thou shalt not that': and the faithful hit the floor

Noah took the whole wide world and stuck it in a boat

For forty days and nights they say, somehow that boat did float

When they found land and hit the sand, their lord said 'Whoops. I'm sorry.'

Never again! I'll count to ten next time, so please don't worry.'

He sent a rainbow 'cross the sky, a proof of good intention

Red and green and blue and colors numerous to mention.

Stories such as this and more may in that good book are found

If it's non-fiction that's your bag, then you better look around

I could go on and bore you with another myth outrageous

Making nonsense verse and rhyme is really quite contagious

So much grist there for my mill, such lies subtle and bold

But they're 2000 pages long, and I am getting old

All of you

 

I adore someone

she is wild and free

I have no expectations

no obligation to me

 

I admire someone

and I let her be

a beautiful flower

a magnificent tree

 

If I love someone

I set them free

her beauty and nature

I am privileged to see
