WISH UPON A STAR
ReplyDeletea ghazal
When I grow up I want to be a movie star
Bonnie said, You may as well wish upon a star.
I will also sing and dance, learn to play guitar.
I told her that I’d surely wish upon a star.
Bonnie said that I was silly, sillier by far
than any other person who wished upon a star.
I’ll show you, she said, I’ll wish for a candy bar,
and then she closed her eyes and wished upon a star.
I reached inside my drawer where all my secrets are,
and gave to her my Snickers, wished for on a star.
Bonnie grinned, exclaimed, Wow, that is so bizarre,
and I went off to make my wish upon a star.
lmbo!!! love it!
DeleteWonderful poem!!!Love it!
Deletethem snickers is tricky vicky - paul the chocolate elf.
DeleteWISHMAS
ReplyDeleteMy first wish you can't miss is to permanently relax like being hit by great climax dripping with hot candle wax
My second wish you can't miss is to
travel the world my dream unfurled
My third wish you can't miss is to be remembered when I leave this world like burning ember I'll never surrender
awesome last line... like a burning ember I will never surrender.
DeleteI like the rhythm and internal rhyme in this one, and like Bonnie, I think it's an awesome last line.
DeleteNice title, and nice last line, thanks for sharing.
Deletenever surrender taylor. keep on through the bullshit. it's brighter on the other side - paul.
Delete3 Wishes
ReplyDeleteHello my dear fairy elf
I see you're now an elf on the shelf
three wishes you say you'll grant to me
oh dear! oh dear! what shall they be?
My first wish if I may commence
please bring back common sense
people only see what they want to see
facts have gone on a shopping spree
Number two means a lot to me
stop all the hate let people live in unity
for myself I am happy no worries dear
all is under control here
My third wish is on a personal note
let my friend Tad learn to use his new throat
I know these wishes you will do
to your word you have always been true
Love the first two lines. Love the whole poem, but the 1st two lines made me literally LOL.
DeleteI like those wishes, they're good ones!Glad you don't need any wishes or yourself. It's good to know things are well with you.
Deletethink comman sense may be all but extinct. but we can always hope bonita - love and unity - paul.
DeleteSweet, and kindly. Good to know your AOK.

ReplyDeleteMAGIC MOMENTS
my three wishes
includes hits and misses
1) shy claire sitting on my face
2) wishing i could keep up with the pace
3) sammie in her silk and lace
all failed, but keeping up with the human race
LOL. I identify with number 2!
Deletepaul paul paul… I said to skip number one...lmbo!!! you gotta be you... yeah I think we can all identify with number 2
Deletei could do without number 2, if i could have number one vic.
Deletenumber 4 would be, i want to live in the library....pretty sure there is some law against that. even in the council records section, where only the spiders go - paul.
sorry bonita. but number one keeps me awake at night and number three got me in to many a fight - don't even know what the pace is anymore. couldn't keep up anyway with these knees ha ha - glad you liked the letter. too many sharks? - love paul.
DeleteI like the briskness of this one, and the honesty!
Delete" IF WISHES WERE HORSES, THEN BEGGARS WOULD RIDE "
ReplyDelete1) world peace and to disarm
2) her evil being less than her charm
3) rub my head with a soothing balm
i've waited too long ma'am
remember that biblical love psalm?
the wish is the power
to live in donald trumps ivory tower
fourth wish
a casablanca ingrid bergman kiss
Another cute one. I've updated that saying. "If wishes were Porsches, beggars would drive." LOL.
Deleteah I love the 4th wish... cute but I think you wasted a wish or two there... nothing more you would wish for?
Deletestill prefer a horse to a porsche vic....possibly because i can't drive. so cars are just things that get in my way, while i am trying to get somewhere - paul the pedestrian.
Deleteno the ingred bergman kiss would do bonita. maybe a faster than light space craft would be fun....but i'd probably crash it in to the sun. technology hates me - love and letters - paul.

DeleteI too kept thinking about wishes and horses,an this poem is nice. I like the idea of living in Trump tower, (or spending a little time there) but not in the company of the current residents. Quick funny story: I was in the company of a very famous writer whose books I really didn't care much for, and couln't think of anything to say. It was embarrassing. Makes me giggle to remember.
DeleteWishes Three
ReplyDeleteIf I had three wishes, then here's what I'd do:
I'd keep one for me, and I'd give one to you
I'd lock up the third in a safe place indeed
or maybe I'll give it to someone in need.
Yet what will I wish? I struggle to think:
I could wish all my troubles were gone in a blink
yet new ones are likely to rise to replace
whatever I thought I might somehow erase.
I could wish for money, but when it was spent
I'd hardly remember the way that it went.
I could wish to be healthy, yet somehow I know
That that's only accomplished by me, as I grow.
Three wishes, three wishes, three wishes for me
I'm lost in the thought of what ever might be;
it's more fun to think about wishing alas,
than choose what I wish would then come to pass
love it and so true!!! it is more fun to think about what we would wish for than to actually have to choose one or two of three
DeleteThanks, Bonnie, for your kind comment. I thought it might be a good addition to my new collection of children's poems.
DeleteLOL. Love it. I started working on a kid poem with a similar theme but didn't manage to finish it.
DeleteI am working on a collection of my poems for children and I thought that one might be good. thanks.
DeleteI really, yes really and truly would never be able to make up my mind.
ReplyDeleteif i only had one wish, i know five seconds later, i would say " nooooo! i meant the other thing!! ". no promt today yet. do you know what it is?
