One Of Todays Poems

Women Everywhere

Women, women, everywhere

but not a single one for me,

Perhaps I should be looking,

below the deep blue sea.

~

With long blue hair and tentacles

She’d have me all entwined.

Holding me gentle on the waves

She’d surely be a find.

~

Only two arms to hold her close,

She’d have me wrapped up tender.

Never would do me any harm,

So soft and strong and slender.

~

Maybe one from the mountain tops,

In a wind-swept hut of stone.

With straggly hair and simple cloths

And the garden she has grown.

~

Her muscles strong from livin’ hard,

climbs the rocks like a mountain goat.

She’d have the children clinging,

to my arms and ‘round my throat.

~

Take my chance by a pretty lake,

In a house forgotten, lonely.

She’ll be glad to hold me tight,

I will be her one and only.

~

Long red hair plaited fancy,

Freckles on her shining face.

I’ll marry her in the Springtime,

with the birds and flowers and lace.
