Caught in useless thought
On a sunny day,
I entered that place
Of light and shade.
That unknown space

Doubtless, Nymphs Have Played
Doubtless, nymphs have played
In this woodland glade,
Where bright flowers bloom
And are gone ,
Oh too soon!

As satyrs say,
“tis hot today!.

That satyrs too
Must fade away.

You would find

And waiting dust.

Said, “do you think I should start blogging?”,
I said, “dear Miss Kipp,
Please, put down that whip!
And change your hobby from flogging to blogging!”
Birds in the Early Morning
When, at 6 am, I
Walked in the woods nearby,
Expecting to hear the birds,
(As I have often heard
Them sing in early morn).
Few birds I heard
For as I slept
The dawn
She crept
Softly by.
