With heartfelt thanks and apologies to e.e.cummings
It's Just-
spring when the barnyard is mud-
slushy the little
gimp farmer
sings Golly Gee!
and chickensandsheep come
running for grass and
tidbits and it's
spring
when the farm is almost green
the funny
old farmer sings
Gol ly Gee!
and kittensandrabbits are binking
from sunshine and freshair and
it's
spring
and
the
stiff-kneed
farmer sings
Gol
ly
Gee!

Hi, Cindy:
ReplyDeleteYour inspiration to parody one poem has led me to do the same by combining two. Here goes!
THIS IS JUST TO SAY
Your spring poem
Echoes cummings’
Evocations
So succinctly that
It speaks well
To me. It speaks
Well to me. It
Speaks well to me.
I must say:
Your wording is perfect,
So neat
And so bold.
(With apologies, yet again, to
William Carlos Williams.)
Enjoy the approaching equinox!
Doug
Thx, Doug. You just happened to hit on another of the few poems I know! Delicous.
