'Twixt the trees of Maes-y-Deri
Flies a winsome little fairy
Searching for the happy sounds
Which once filled the Griffiths' grounds
Winter, springtime, summer, fall
She flies above the grasses tall
Sprinkling teardrops where she flew
To mark her paths with morning dew
She flies alone throughout the years
And never stops to dry her tears
Lest she should miss upon the hill
Her long lost playmate, Little Jill

A MOTHER
Mother sacrifices
She never takes sides
Mother I often wish I were more like you
Not just physically but morally too
You suffer for my sake
Yet,find time to be a playmate for my make
Love,love is a mother's gift
To their precious children their hearts to lift
Nobody's like you,mum
Nobody cares for me like you do, mum
Mothers are wise
Mothers can never be priced

Twas' the night before Christmas and all through my house,
a cat named "Shadow", played and ran around with the mouse!
Not a squeek, nor a sound, he gave a spirit of holiday cheers,
and saw a red suit santa, which scared away his fears!
If he could be with santa always for holidays to celebrate,
and have a happy Christmas, with a "purr-fect", playmate!
Wishing a season filled with love, joy and hope throughout the year,
of a cat like "Shadow", he is special and so very dear!

love and passion has taken its action
one night of fun, now look at what's begun
little baby growing slow
little baby held in below
my bundle of joy, my family's new toy
nine months of wait
to get a new playmate
nine months of wait
a small taste of fate
little baby, an uplift in my spirit
little baby, she has no limit
because of one night, a new life will ignite.

Say Say O' My Playmate
come out and
write with me
you bring your
your pencils
three
and we will
scribble
play writes
or
do some
little ditty's
tell a funny joke
or
two
or
maybe three
maybe about
you and me
made up
about
me and you
and made
with some colors
like ocean's blue
that hum
a Cosmic tune
of sweet
Commentaries
that can ramble
a childish tune
to the
sounds of
Crayola Crayons
crying out to you
Come out and play!

Daddy Mike,
What were you like?
You were gone
when I was a very tiny tike.
Daddy Mike,
Was it because of me?
Was leaving me all you could see?
Surely, you knew how much pain there would be.
A little girl needs her daddy.
Daddy Mike,
From abuse and pain
I shed many a tear.
Without you here,
I always felt fear.
Daddy Mike,
Abusive babysitter, playmate,
bullies, and family.
Nowhere for me
to flee.
Daddy Mike,
Why were you
not here?

Dad, I'm Very Proud Of You
Free Verse
God created so many things
Including me and my parents
If I'm in need of someone to play with
You are there dad, as my playmate
I'm just a small lad today
But will over grow my playful days
One thing in my heart embedded
My love and respect to you my dad.
I'm Very Proud of You,
Happy Fathers' Day and I love You so Much

life, love, uplifting,
Resting days encircling of friends,
Peace gives a closing protection.
Charity seems to keep no charge of wrong,
Only listening ears that breathe silent in reading
Of heartbeat dance.
Friendship's breath,
Carrying wind to cast all trouble to the endless nowhere.
How do I finish what was started in me?
Inner wall of safekeeping,
Walking the ground secured playmate of poets.
"Tag!!!"
From within,
"You are all it!"
In Poetry Soup-
But,
Is the game really over?
Or just journeying on to love ones,
Outside our globe-sphere world of poetic?
P.S.
Follow up to
"Friends"
And
"Hansen! Yer It!!"

quick witted
like the child her mother was
i miss that child
but adore the butterfly she has become
she will be more
than we all imagine
if we let her be
just as her mother
and her grandmother and great grandmother were and are
but we come from a line of struggle
of will and wellness
of dreams and wants
of can be and will be
she smiles
and my heart is as full as it can be
she treats me like a playmate
and i wouldn't have it any other way
i love her and her mother
as much as my heart will allow
as much as there is room for
as if they were my own

Smile that smile,
Trick after trick,
Aqua-powered playmate:
Click, Click, Click.
Yummy tummy up,
Flip about;
Round and round,
Inside out.
What're you saying?
What do you think?
Underwater Crooner:
Plink, Plink, Plink.
Burst into song,
Compassionate friend:
Your high-pitched soprano
My heart does rend.

You want to be my playmate
O baby it sounds so great
I know love is not a sin
God knows well what I mean
Baby at long last I can see
Someone who really loves me
I feel so lonely you know
I will never let you go
You are delight of my eyes
No more sorrow no more cries

best friend, dog, love,
I have a friend Lilly, she's a dog
She jumps and plays when she jogs
She's a pit bull and sweet, she is quick on her feet
It sounds strange but she likes to eat frogs
She has the prettiest eyes of her breed
She's a great friend that's sure hard to beat
She's always got gas, and a whole lot of sass
I love her so much, yes indeed
She gives me kisses and hugs
Her playmate is a Rottweiler thug
She can outrun the beans, she's always first on the scene
Her full name is Lilly the Bugs

life, lost love, sad, love,
God knows why I can’t read my own fate!
God knows why love has turned into hate!
God knows I have no more love to waste!
God knows why I am in wretched state!
God knows why we had no tête-à-tête!
God knows why I am not your playmate!
God knows you were like my heaven’s gate!
God knows how you can now compensate!
God knows your love could make my life great!
But it seems it has become too late!
