He is one of my hero's!

Simply Seuss (Today you are you)

 

"Green Eggs and Ham,"

my favorite rhyme,

it corners

 a simple point in time,

when all was good

 and hearts held droll.

When words had meaning,

and writer’s soul.

I cheer them on

these writer’s wrongs;

the wolf,

 the pigs,

 and Dinah's bong.

I sail close to words with

Heart.

Whether prose or rhyme, it’s the greats

I chart.

Simple are the words they write.

a letter,

 a symbol…

 to end the night.

Yes,

 it corners just a point in time

when being good was not a crime.

When genuine banter

 then cooled the hearts,

alongside of the pie

and the apple tarts.

Now, what likes do our children have of rhyme?

zombies,

 death,

 blood and crime?

I sob now for

new writer’s wrongs;

they write not of the

bluebird’s songs.

Hence, I cherish this rhyme

"Green eggs and Ham,"

the best,

the worst, of

 "Sam, I am."

Now, what do we write, these days of new?

The Grinch?

the fox?

 Horton's who?

Well,

 the answer is, all writers

new,

Today my friends,

you are you.

Author's Note

I love writing for Children. Seuss is one of my favorites! I wrote this as a dedication to him on his birthday! I miss his style.

This is an awesome message! Many times I think about how different life must be for the children of today, but here you've gone & expressed that in a creative & joyful way. Not having had kids myself, I'm not familiar with the various books & nursery rhymes that are well-known to others. Here you've shared Suess in a way that can be understood by many who might not have had this childhood experience. My favorite line: "when being good was not a crime" *smile* Fondly, Margie
