the blunderbuss exploded
into the fresh Spring
day followed by cannons
church bells announcing
the joy and exuberance of the season
while costumed revelers paraded
through town singing hymns
ditties loud lavish lusty
steins overflowing with ale
running down chins pinking
cheeks flushed full of rosy red apples
laughter kisses hugs
good cheer ringing in
anticipate of all possibilities
Write a poem on this week’s theme.
Merry Meet and Blessed Be
i want to sing loud lusty songs at church....
ReplyDeleteOh to be one of the revelers! Thanks for making me smile and dance (if only in my mind) this morning. What a great read to start the day!

Your header today, Arnold Glasow--did you know that in his time people were just beyond the belief that people could self destruct by spontaneous combustion?
Now, his time, it had become humerous.
