(75) A Trip To Mars

I am going to take a trip to Mars
And I am going to face my battle scars
I am going to dance a Tango on the sea
Then invite a seagull for a cup of tea

I will share a joke with the Kings
And listen as the flower sings
Tickle a tiger to make him smile
Help a tortoise to walk a mile

Watch me jump off a tower and fly
Use a paint brush to colour the sky
Toast my bread upon the sun
Give a pink elephant a chocolate bun

Buy a ticket to the everlasting circus
Learn to conduct the dawn chorus
Wave hello to the hidden sailor
Buy a coat from the multi-coloured tailor

Then I will come knocking upon your door
Kiss you once then kiss you once more
I will swim forever within your eyes
Give you love, that will be no surprise

I love this nonsensical, whimsical poem! This is really refreshing compared to a lot of gloom and doom poetry!

[White Ink]

Cheerful, creative fresh and well written. I think I'll end up adding all your poems to my library lol.

This was such a playfully fun piece!! It was definitely an experience to follow you on your imaginative journey my friend! Loved this:

I love the light hearted nature of this one! I think it captures the essence of what is really important in life: love, sillyness, and the absurdity of it all. All the things that make for an interesting and happy life. Well done, wonderful piece!

Such a fun piece!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I like this one. It reminds me of the vivid imagery from the 70's.
