let my poem be
your dance
Wikipedia
Old folks upstairs
asleep in their beds
chocolate and chip dreams
filling their heads
Kitchen is quiet
all tidy and dark
time for an exit
let's head for the park
The ponies are ready
carousel waits
follow me little ones
right through the gates
Peanut and Cupcake
Ham-Burglar, Pig
Good Dog and Dough-Boy
Jiggity-Jig
We'll dance and we'll frolic
all through the night
then head home for dreamland
as night becomes light
You know how I love a good rhyme. The rhyming and rhythm are perfection, not to mention the lovely carousel ride! A jiggety-jig of a poem, Helen!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! The cookies made the people sleep so the cookie jars could go out and play.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and fun: lighthearted, mischievous and enchanting. The stuff that dreams are made on!
ReplyDeleteI love this fairy tale of a poem!
ReplyDelete(And what a fun collection of jars!) 😀
I just smiled like this... I had no idea you had a collection of cookie jars...
ReplyDeleteHelen, I love your fairy tale story, where the cookie jars come to life and ride the carousel all night, then sneak back home. Very neat looking cookie jars. My grandma had one but I can't remember what it looked like.
ReplyDeleteI love the movements here specially: let's Jiggity-Jig. This was so fun to read!
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet poem and dream!
Hugs,
Mariette
