Sunday Muse #118


Greetings and salutations! Welcome to the weekend and to the latest Sunday Muse. I am daydreaming of swimming pools and dragonflies and the demanding mockingbirds who are a fan of blueberries and yard-diving and hoping that this finds us all still afloat and waving cheerily from our distant poetry rafts. Toss us a line and we'll clamber aboard.

  2. ploop is not a word but sure it is
    you insist and ploop another slice
    of watermelon as the knife comes down
    and kernels of corn splash in my mouth
    like a summer shower
    ploop no no frogs diving into ponds
    no this is a food thing ok but
    we're not French and certainly
    not this early in the morning
    ploop ploop blueberries' friendly
    belly flops into the batter ploop
    the first drops sizzle in the coffee pot
    the dog making business in the yard
    sorry that's gross! now the rain
    is starting now the morning
    ripples now
    you put your finger on my lips
    and I taste a drop
    of quiet

    1. It is ploop, and I love all your ploops here Qbit! Good thing the library is not open to the public, or I would have been fired for laughing too loudly! We need some laughter and smiles these days! Thanks Qbit!!
