Snapshot Poem 31 May 02006

20 rain on tulip leaves

lazy lazy morning
sun pads into the bedroom

like a friendly yellow cat
another drifty hour

in the blue sheets
later, the park churns

with colorful herds

of small children

grownups shooing
at their heels

trying to organize
delight

    Wonderful poem. The last four line made me laugh. I see that alot at the library.

    mmmm sun pads into the room – what wonderful imagery!
    Why do we seem compelled to “organize delight”?
    Delightful poem — I am tempted to say “so organized” — perhaps – well 😉
