Stream
Words play in a glistening trough
bob and swirl through my mind
slip and slide as I try to grab
ones to convey my meaning
Turtle clock ticks minutes away
they reel out swiftly, catapult me
away from today not yet ready
no precious time to waste
The dog wants to play
the duck game
one of his favorites
after the squirrel game
He pouts now as I type
gone all evening he was alone
I alternate words with play
his life span shorter than mine
Sun sets sickle moon rises
three nights a Perseid Shower
words play in a glistening trough
if only I could put them together
Ah, it is so hard when words don't co-operate as they should!!!
