Linking to dVerse poets pub where Linda hosts tonight and Lisa got us thinking about clowns this week….
why worry over troubles?
blow rainbow soap bubbles
if can’t keep your cool?
splash feet in kiddie pool
misplace happy smile?
time to wrestle dog pile
living under dark cloud?
read picture book aloud
is brain turning fuzzle?
fix jigsaw floor puzzle
has life lost its zing?
take ride in a swing
no exercise you like?
push child on a bike
who needs circus clowns
when grandkids come
around?
a poem in my pocket

Love your poem. Your are right we don’t always count the blessings we have at our finger tips! Well done. That is a really cute little guy!

Sometimes hard to tell but she’s a ittle girl 😉 Thanks, Dwight! Counting my blessings here…

Oh my! That is the most precious little face!

Loveable & adorable, i know!

You know how to keep yourself happy 🙂

This is wonderful and I love the way children are so spontaneous and it’s such a joy to just be able to play with grandchildren. Am sure I played with my own but there was always something else that needed to be done.
Aug 21, 2020 @ 11:33:46
So true, grand parenting gives us another chance to take time to play!
Aug 21, 2020 @ 01:24:59
There is so much fun to be had playing with words, Lynn, and it doesn’t have to be only with children. 🙂
Aug 21, 2020 @ 11:35:46
Yes, playing with words is delightful too!
Aug 20, 2020 @ 22:31:40
My mom certainly thinks her grandkids are better than her own kids 😂😂
Aug 21, 2020 @ 04:33:39
Never mind, I feel the same but can just play without the responsibilities!
Aug 21, 2020 @ 20:44:47
😂😂

Well now, here’s a solution for everything, and in rhyme and rhythm too. Bravo

Thanks, Bev!

Awwww I like the sing song rhythm here and such a fun poem. Your grandchild is adorable!

Thanks, Lisa, for the earlier prompt! She’s our 10th of eleven “clowns” 🙂

Such a quite poem and picture too 🙂

This is absolutely gorgeous, Lynn! Just what my saggitarius heart ordered 😍😍

Glad you like it, Sanaa! ❤

How wonderful to be surrounded by innocents. This is tender and sweet Lynn.
Aug 20, 2020 @ 16:46:44
Thanks, Linda…lots of little blessings here!
Aug 20, 2020 @ 15:05:34
I wish there were more children around me… it sounds like so much fun. I think I have to wake the child from within in their absence
Aug 20, 2020 @ 15:08:28
Yes, Bjorn, we all have an inner child just waiting to play!
Aug 20, 2020 @ 15:05:00
I’d say that someone knows how to keep those grandkids happy!
Aug 20, 2020 @ 15:09:24
It’s a mutual gig 🙂
