A cherryor berry
has stained up your breast
it is merry
oh! very
to see you so dressed ...
you bring us
and sing us
an old but dear song
of tune-time
and June-time
of love that is strong
you appear
and you cheer
with expressions of pleasure
have brought us
and wrought us
fresh hope set to measure
playfully
gayfully
you fill our life-cup
you greet us
and meet us
with " Cheery - cheer up!"
That brought a smile to my face Margie :)

Stop Press. 'Huge Middle East Earthquake'
A Huge Earthquake with a strength of 8.2 on the Richter scale has hit three adjoining middle eastern countries north of the Suez canal.
Up to now more than Three million persons have perished and many more injured.
The area is in total ruin. and authorities are in a dilemma where to start the clean up.
The rest of the world is in shock.
America is sending in troops to help.
Saudi Arabia is sending oil.
Many countries are sending relief supplies.
New Zealand is sending Hal Al beef, lamb and food crops.
Asian countries are sending labour to assist in rebuilding.
Canada is sending medical teams with supplies.
Australians, not to be outdone, are sending two million replacement Muslims.
GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA

ReplyDeleteMargie: This beautifully captured the true essence of the Robin! I enjoyed it very much! :)
ReplyDeleteDelightful! Great fun to read out loud, too.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet Margie! I love robins, you've written a beautiful and happy tribute to them here. Love it! Hugs, G
ReplyDeleteThis poem is so great to read aloud, Margie...I've read it twice to my grandson and he's insisting I read it to him again. I think it will have to be printed out and given to my four year old grandson to put on his wall...he's in love with your words!
ReplyDeleteHe loves this..."of tune-time
and June-time"...he's gone off singing that phrase, heh! xx
What a gift the robin brings in soft songs...just as what a gift your words bring... :)
ReplyDeleteHugs back to you Margie! Loved your comment/entry! Do spread the word and good luck.

ReplyDeleteI like the structure of your poem: 2 short lines and 1 long one, and -its springy rhyming.
