| Sunrise over Singapore. |
A few seasons ago,
I was hopping down a farm,
The fields were golden
the ears full and long,
Scraping along my waist
some caught in my frock,
Hopping along the farm,
hoppity hop hop hop!
Trotting in my little,
glittering red oxfords,
I hit upon the unexpected,
Yellow paved road.
Amusingly stretched,
Penetrating the blue skies
So far ahead,
Far far ahead!
Tripping and trotting,
Trot trot trot!!!
Long beautiful infinite,
Unexpected turns,
Unexpected travellers,
A lion, scarecrow,
A metal tinman.
Looking for something
Each did not have.
Me? Me just tapping,
Tipping top top top!!!
Yellow roads leading to
Whiskered old
wizards,
wizards,
Sneaky and snobby,
Flying high above!
Magic everywhere,
Friendship on the way
Little yellow brick road,
Of many a stories untold!
Magic wands loose,
Swoosh whoosh Woosh!!!

ReplyDeleteNice Arushi ~~ The poem today made me think of when we were skiing in Colorado and took the lift to the highest peak so we could have the best view. But coming down was only black, the very hardest of trails to ski.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Jim crashed and had to be rescued by the rangers. They helped her get to the Yellow Brick Road, a service road that took a contour so that vehicles could reach the top. It was fun skiing down it, it went slow and easy. All this background in my mind helped make yours read easily.

What an adventure jim... sorry about mrs. Jim though.. I hope she was awryt at the end of it all... thank you for reading jim...
DeleteDorothy certainly did find the unexpected on her trip through Oz. In the end she did just want to go home though.
