The choir was wonderful as usual (I miss singing in the choir sigh). Our dear choir leader is going on a senior mission to SLC after next week (I asked her a few weeks ago to speak in our Easter program next Sunday) and we had an after church "linger longer" luncheon yesterday (Sunday) in her honor.
Love your poem... "Dewy sunflowers!" can have so many connotations in these times... well done!
Wishing you well on your preface. I have a tendency to procrastinate myself.
The Warm and Chocolatey Mug of Cocoa
Whose mug of cocoa is that? (rhetorically)
Its owner is quite happy though. (so silly)
Full of joy like a vivid rainbow, (really?)
I watch him laugh. I cry hello. (creepily)
He gives his mug of cocoa a shake,
And laughs as his belly turns into a lake.
The only other sound's the wake,
.......... redacting this part... a 2.5 Richter quake.
The mug of cocoa is warm, chocolatey, and deep,
(inserts Oxford comma with a deft sweep)
But he has promises to keep,
After a long nap and short sleep.
"Sweet dreams are made of these" (neep, neep!).
After rising from his rumpled bed,
Stoking the heat stove increasing the infra red,
With thoughts of poetry & silly stories in his head,
He drinks his triple cocoa still half brain dead
