For Real Toads: Madrigals and Rondelays

It is Open Link Monday for the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads and Kerry invites us to post something unspecific. It would be difficult to find anything less specific than this poem I wrote in the middle of the night, and found on the table this morning. I rather like it, even if it ain't art.

Of Days and Rondelays

*

when the soft is on the kitten

and the warm is on the dog

when the wing is on the bird

and the turtle’s on a log

*

the world is good around us

and we know the joy of life

we feel a precious calmness

far from worry, far from strife

*

the chirping toads are chorusing

celebratory ’lays

and we know the precious peaceful

of extr’ordinary days
