Work It, Word It, Dance : Quickly 20 projects prompt

Work It, Word It, Dance!

Surely being green could be without envy,

though cold the emerald is a warm stone of earth

Jealousy can be a fine tender, sparking action

Joie de vivre - but be careful of full blown flame!

See the frog, tortoise, even garden snake -

taste that apple, benefit from the Granny Smith

Smell the fresh scent, hear the crispness

Touch your soul to an ethereal Eden, be Eve -

Pumpkin went a waltzing even with two left feet

on the parquet dance floor tripped sentences into the night

One foot fall after another until heaven on earth was reached

at the altar in front of witnesses; repeats “I do”.

See the bee, the fly, even the snake oil salesman -

all wanting just a little bit of something in life that is sweet

Smell the grease, benefit from the turkey bacon, hear it sizzle

touch your taste buds ...see it fry in the morning skillet

Pumpkin went a waltzing, in a do-rag dusting mightily -

mites in sun rays stare beaming through the window

One year followed another until false retirement was reached

At the keyboard in front of no-one; repeats “I do”.

In that part of hazel, which is green, the eye spied

blinking in mezmorized belief that words could too sparkle

while winking with resounding disbelief that the spark ignited,

the flame lit the way and now this verse is complete.

Note: It ain’t quick when Quicky prompts it! At least not this one :)

I’m not sure if I got in all twenty or not. But stick a fork in me...I’m done (with this one).

I did have fun though.
