Comment from Lobber
Hello dear friend,
Now you're talking my kind of art, music and poetry. Finally, something I can understand. Something that's close to the Earth. Something I can latch on to . . .any Did anyone notice that the red glove gesture copies your own white glove statement. Is this a new signal or sign of the anarchy that's ahead?

Anarchy ahead? Yeah, seems to be a bit closer in some places than others these days, hmmmm? :) ;) ;) Thanx so much for such an awesome review, Jer -- Have been 'offline' over a week now [see my poem ALS] and am just beginning getting things back in order round here... As with everything, taking things one day at a time! ;)
It's always good to hear from you as you never fail to bring a smile along with you!! ;) Take care this week and have a Terrific Tuesday, sir! ;) Yvette
Comment from Susan X Smith
This is a delightful poem, and the picture which complements it was well chosen. It is an excellent contest entry. I especially liked the stanza that begins with "please don't forget your xylophone" and the reversal of "split 'nanas."

Comment from Janetsue
Writing poetry has many purposes and you have excellently fulfilled the one of using it to de-stress after a trying time. I thoroughly enjoyed reading though this rhyming entry offering a lot of excellent imagery. It's wonderful to be able to use creativity to let off pressure and share one's situations with fellow poets. Stay well, my very talented friend!

Comment from Debbie Pope
Amazing, Yvette. Did I just follow Alice into some hole of nonsense? My favorite line is that your herbal tea has spots. But then you know that I am a sucker for a good play on words. I will honestly think of spotted tea every time I have a "spot of tea." Wonder where the expression "spot of tea" came from anyway. Like your poem, that's nonsense.
Your rhymes are fun. Your words are delightful. All around good job.

Comment from pome lover
methinks thy herbal tea was spiked
And all the moving, so disliked,
Resulted in severe rhymitis
Or perhaps appendicitis?
Call the doc and take a pill
Or better yet, lie down, be still
and hubby will bring thou a glahss
of wine, or wait, a demitasse
And as thou rests, in thy peignoir
I think I'll bid thee au revoir.
PS,
Congrats on thy rewards!

LOL!! Aaah, yes, the best way to combat chaos is through absurdity... I love it!! ;) :) Good morning, Lady Katharine -- apologies for the delay - thanx so much for the review and the smiles!! ;) Take care out there as summer closes and Fall rolls in this month! ;) Yvette

would that Fall WOULD roll in.
I am so tired of hot, humid weather!!
I am hoping to encourage it by making a Fall arrangement for my front door. I love making them.
Are you ready for escuela?? (hope I didn't mispell)

Well, now that's a tale in itself, my lady! Because they have decided in the northern counties to go to online only for now, I have now become THE TRAVELING MATHEMATICIAN and am teaching classes in people's houses!! Amazing, yeah? Seems MANY students cannot 'LEARN' math online... imagine that! :) Ugh. But it is what it is, yeah? :) :)
Comment from Iza Deleanu
The monarch butterfly and sipping herbal tea with limeš???one of the ordinary extraordinary poems that enchanted you with its absurdity and beauty. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest, I think you have a winner here

You're welcome.
Comment from Gloria ....
Yvette, this poem is great, good fun and as fantasy filled as through the looking glass.
Your wise juxtaposing of physical impossibilities is what brings this poem right to life, well that and the banana splits and tea.
A most enjoyable read today and it appears your pen is decompressing at just the right tempo.
Much enjoyed.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
This certainly is nonsensical since it doesn't really seriously mean much other than 'come have some fun with me'. I like banana splits and monarch butterflies. Flying kites is fun but not when masked. It's a fun rhyming poem Yvette.
