Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

A whimsical poem about love and everything else

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

By Jack Ivey

 

Licorice and lavender and lazy afternoons

On a beach to nowhere in a sea of red balloons

Cotton candy carousels that spin so ever slow

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

 

Silly putty patterns in a shade of tangerine

Violins and cellos hold so tightly to the string

Daffodils in dancing shoes across the valley flow

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

 

Puzzles painted purple play a perfect polished part

Rivers made of chocolate and the places that they start

Midnight moons now mingle with the fireflies aglow

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

 

Pizza pies and railroad ties and cherries jubilee

Silhouettes at twilight in the shapes we’ve come to see

Sidewalks on the mountaintops that ramble through the snow

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

 

A tiny leaf, a strong belief that springs does now arrive

The summer breeze, magnolia trees, lonely roads to drive

Shadows of the evergreens upon the ground to show

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

 

Caramel connections in a sweet and gooey mess

Secrets and forsythia, a yellow summer dress

Skipping pebbles on the waters three times in a row

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

 

Peanut shells and wishing wells and taxi cabs to hail

Paper airplanes folded twice through aqua skies to sail

City streets and movie seats and popcorn we can throw

Everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

 

Any day is everyday if you are here with me

Sunny skies and butterflies abound for us to see

Take my hand and understand that I do love you so

And everywhere is anywhere if you would like to go

A tiny leaf, a strong belief that springs does now arrive(What's wrong with this sentence...?)

[Jack...]

I don't know, what's wrong with it?

The subject does not agree with the verb.

Well those two never got along anyway. :)

A most delightful and whimsical poem, full of charm and warmth. I love that you rhyme, and do it well (most don't......shhhhh, don't tell on me for saying it ) This was extremeley well written, and a pleasure to read.

Oh, to be young and in love! This poem makes me feel nostalgic, Jack. All those innocent moments of flirtation with the future. This is very sweet, my friend.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much. It is nice to know you enjoyed it.

[KAOlmsted]

Whimsical, yes. And very well written. The rhyme scheme was great, the ideas sublime...I love where each stanza took me.

[Jack...]

thanks, it was one of my lighter moments.

[KAOlmsted]

My pleasure.

This poem was a delight Jack!
The lines were fun to speak even. Ha. Had to smile while reading this.
I might not have repeated the catch line so much though... Three or four times would do it better... My opinion only...
I just skipped reading them when I felt they were over done.
Otherwise, loved it!

[Jack...]

Thanks for reading it and commenting
