A pleasure my dear
Grasshoppers know all the answers Christine….. here’s my poem “Grasshoppers Hallelujah”, which has just been accepted into an Anthology…..
Grasshoppers Hallelujah
ย
At night, itโs my time to bleed
As Iโm slowly going to seed
My video pictureโs blurred
Iโll take my film shaken, not stirred
ย
There I was, crawling on dirty paws
When my dream drifted into pause
An impostor interrupted my show
As I was climbing Mount Kosciuszko
Bathing there in warm winter snow
Waiting for my spring flowers to grow
ย
Iโm overseeing the green valley below
Where bees and dragonflies are buzzing to and fro
Tree ferns are shading the moist forest floor
I see faeries singing from under the Sycamores
And theyโre dancing to music that sounds familiar
A classic song by the whistling caterpillar
Accompanied by the violin tunes of grasshoppers
And I hear the mystical rhythm of natureโs Hallelujah
Oh it is magnificent Ivor! A Midsummer Night’s Dream โบ๏ธ๐
