In the Name of Cheerfulness

In the Name of Cheerfulness

A Poem by Judy Ponceby
"

For Frank.... :)

"
So, let's see, cheeriness personified.
Damned if I can think of anything depressing.
Again and again, my mind goes on ever and ever,
In search of that infernal lightening rod
To which the dark and dreary are attracted.
And yet, butterflies and billowing clouds,
erupt magnificently in full bloom.
Hiding in the nooks of my cranium
fluffy bunnies and poofy flowers.
Anything really to while away the hours.
And so I write about grand battles,
frogs on crack, and ladies in your lap.
Seems this perky cheeriness is infectious....

A wink and a nod to my friend Frank. ;)

Frogs on crack...ROFL!!!

I must agree...Frank is most definitely a bad influence on down-in-the-dumps, morning-averse poets. A shining tribute to a shining soul, Lady Judy.

Just thought I'd re-review this poem because I'm a narcissistic son-of-b***h and I really love it.
Who needs Shakespeare?--that circumlocutious old windbag; this is poetry!

An intelligent write, bright and light hearted just like the author who it is dedicated to…I wish I had that ability to display the feel for cheer in my writes…Envy is the word…

Great Write Judy!
