BOY SENSES

On my back

Milky Way

stretching across the

blue black sky

grass smells

gnats buzzing

quiet earth sounds

my being longs to know

what is up there

(why can a boy lay in his backyard

and see the Universe ?)

knowing deep in my soul

that there must be

a purpose to life.

ROYAL WEDDING

Brits and hats,

Kids and crowns,

Bal con y

Kisses, two,

Carriage waves,

Prince to wed

Princess pure,

While the world

Watches with

Awe and grace.

Tra di tion

Prevails as

Com mon ers

Curtsy, bow

to royally

pay and pay.

 I really had fun watching all the pomp of Kate and Williams' wedding. It is always hard for Americans to understand the Brit's willingness to pay for their royalty. I believe that American's pay royally for NBA, NFL, MLB whether they go to the games or not, through paying for products that advertise for these sports. Please Brits forgive me for my cheekiness  in writing this poem. Mike
