mower

[Jerrybaldy]

I want a mower and some kids
A holiday
A toaster popping happy bread
A garden
Growing anything
A mower and some kids
Happy bread
Butter
A holiday
A smile I created
My toes in hot sand
Hot toast
A hug
A compliment
A mower and some kids
Love
And golden bread
Something that's not this .

This one touched me almost to tears! especially since I lost my garden that grew practically anything it wanted... and it wasn't the only loss.
Your poem - a genuine heart cry... genuine and artful

I can do without kids and mower, but if you get there, come and be my neighbour! The noise of a mower will always be associated in my mind with childhood, carelessness, summer holidays, so the poem spoke to me with every line. My favorite perhaps is the "toaster popping happy bread"—if you find'em, take two, I'll pay you back :-) Really wonderful poem, J.!

It's good to be reminded of how happiness is to be found in the simple things. Your poem reflects this well.

[Hawkman]

The eternal longing, expressed as a kind of chant or mantra, betrays a quiet desperation. Powerful stuff, JB.

Live and be well - H

This really exceptional and beautiful, Jerry - I love all of it, quite a lot. The imagery of a garden growing anything, and a smile I created - those were very nice, so I hope you know you probably created a lot of smiles with this. :)

Jerry, you can write without using vulgarities or profanities! I think that you have a lot of talent. I like to see it come out in homespun lingua! I have to tell you that I think that off-colored language debases the poem and it's author. Give me more of these types of poems. I will lap them up. Your talent is amazing.
