Pointing North

An optimistic piece for once

The sound of salt water

inspired this fodder

to come live streaming

from the pen tip gleaming

in the light of the sun

on this day so warm, so fun.

 

Wind blowing lightly,

ever so slightly

causing the soul to stir

as a cat will really purr

when the owner's hand

makes no great demand.

 

A day of vernal warmth

causes nobody harm,

just a day to take a stroll

where time takes no toll,

so positive thoughts

are emerging

and positive energies

are converging.

 

Bound together, a bit of hope,

running down the grassy slope,

hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm,

a peaceful moment minus harm.

 

A utopian dream, I suspect,

yet I'm not thinking like a wreck.

 

Glad for once, the weather nice,

ate some pizza, enjoyed the slice.

 

Who cares about the deep theme?

Just let loose and just daydream,

so it's time to end this tour-de-force

since my emotions are pointing north.

 

For once, north is a good way to face,

even though I'm not filled with grace.

 

Love us anyway, love us all,

even though we always fall.

Where is Kenneth?
Merrily gone North according to this piece.

I REALLY enjoyed this. Things/events/poems don't have to be sad or upsetting to have a deep theme. A positive write can be just as incredible. This was not just fun, but it paints a lovely picture of someone enjoying the simple things that are taken for granted.

What's not to be kind about? I like the winsome feel of this...it's light and whimsical! Lovely!

[Nobody.]

Nice.

daily.
