A Few of my Favorite Things...

PAD Challenge prompt 16:For today’s prompt, write a favorite poem. Maybe that sounds a bit silly, but what I mean is to write a poem about something that’s your favorite. A favorite teacher. Favorite movie. Favorite ice cream flavor. I don’t know, because I have my own list of favorites. Only you can do you…and your favorites. Who knows? Maybe this will end up being your favorite prompt this month...

Below, my favorite 'favorite things' song!

So, because of the late-night laundry date I reveled in a few favorite things!

Fresh cup 'o coffee

A rose glazed with dewdrops

Green haze of May days 

after spring has sprung

laughter of little ones

cheese before supper

 toffee bits melting

sweet, slow on my tongue

babies to rock-a-bye

books to belong to

backwood meander

just talking to trees

scrabble and apples

and company-set tables

 a long line of laundry

flapping in the breeze 

poems and poetry

with words or pictures

moody blue back-drop

thunder far away

bird-song and brook-song

and sea-song and love song

wanderlust dusting

 an open highway 

summer-sand beaches 

and winter-land wonder

spring-flavored sunbeams

a to-do list

Getting up early to

hear the sun stirring

kicking back covers 

of starlight and mist

making a memory

fragrant with flowers

planning a picnic

for today at two

fishing and fireworks

wish on a first star

fulfilled by the longing

of being with you

dancing at daybreak

with destiny's mystery

meeting at midnight with

future and past

pausing on pasture-lands

stippled with steeples

where shadow-builders

Lower twilight's mast

taming a tempest

of whispers with inkdrops

framing heart-pieces

in rhythm and rhyme

where there is always

too much to be written

and there is always

never enough time

love that is painful

because it is pleasure

love that is pleasure

because it is pain

Finding the treasure

in a moment's measure

laughing like I was

carefree once again

Listening to reason

while lying at leisure

beneath the lattice

of leaf overhead

  hearing the tiptoe

 of a poem's hello

long after it is time 

to go to bed

Janet~

...on that note, Goodnight

or Good Morning 😏
