oh no, not the frog!

(a small nonsense)

In a small blue box
Deep in my corner cupboard
Sits a small, aged, marzipan frog
Sometimes, in moments of distraction
or caustic meditation
I dream which of my children
will inherit this prize.
It is a threat
disturbing their waking hours.

My granddaughter shares
the kettledrum of her dreams
Imagination!

Delights and dreams
For the eyes of others
For the hearts of the few
For the discounts of many
It’s easy being a poet
Except for the poetry

Wistful smile from yesterday
Bouquet of lost dreams

Across the meadow

Mist makes shadows of oak trees,

Lost dreams, out of reach

The night the stars fell

out of the darkest heavens

Oh, how the dreams shone
