Some more rhymes for zombie:

I know a quite elegant zombie.
I asked, "Would your favorite psalm be
Included on this CD-ROM?" He
Replied, "Yes, if I would calm be,
Or show me where might the bomb be."

Hey Jo

Christmas, for me, has always been a Festival of Light.

smiley - holly

As a kid I was enchanted by Christmas tree lights, and forever awed by magical reflections.

smiley - candle

This year times are hard. The lights in town are saviours, their sparkle piercing the gloom with rays of hope.

smiley - candle

Yesterday,as I cycled homeward, I noticed that even the scrubby bushes beside the track were strung with lights!

The unexpected sight filled me with delight.

smiley - eureka

To add to my joy, heavy rain had given way to warm sunlight.

I gazed in rapture at the twinkling jewels on the branches.

smiley - holly

The lenses on my dark glasses add a filmic hue to reality.

Of course, to the naked eye, my jewels were sunlit raindrops!

Raindrop lights are no less miraculous though. I'd say they have an advantage over Christmas lights. They can illuminate any season!

smiley - eureka end **********

We need to cherish little lights smiley - candle
like sunshine bright on raindrops,
coloured lights in Christmas shops,
collect those moments of delight. smiley - candle

I know how to handle
A holiday candle
That glows in the dark
And warms with its spark.


Cherish little lights ..

Warmth! Of course, paul! Light is warmth. Warms with its spark. I like it.

I guess light can visit any of the six available senses ..

Sight, hear, smell, taste, touch, extrasensory

I heard light, I know I heard light, that night ...

smiley - huh

Must think about this ...

Oh, I met a great skiing zombie
Who asked where'd the nearest slalom be.

I once met a poor orphaned zombie,
Who didn't know where would his mom be.

I once met an imprisoned zombie
Who wondered when would his freedom be.

An elegant, pool-playing zombie
Would show you where would his carom be.

You never know where is the zombie?
In fullview, or maybe random be?


Warmth

I know a degenerate Zombie.
I'm certain where would his Sodom be.

In Hanoi, a poor old lost zombie
Did not know where might his Vietnam be.

A calico cat and a zombie
Were wondering where might her tom be.

I once knew a Navajo zombie
Who asked me where might his wigwam be.

And zombie rhymes with zombie.

Hey Jo

In the room with the pale yellow curtains, I wrote three alternative endings to a song with no known beginning.

smiley - musicalnote

Realising this to be futile, I then rejected all endings.

smiley - eureka

I opened the pale yellow curtains to let in the pale yellow sunlight.

Of course I only wrote this sentence so that I could reject it also.

smiley - musicalnote

Wondering if sunlight had any colour at all, led me to think about my friend John, who died a few years ago.

We shared a house, and we'd listen to the ISB (The Incredible String Band) and ask deep cosmic questions into the night.

smiley - musicalnote

Ah! A bright light flashed in my brain. smiley - eureka

Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending!! An ISB album!

Thanks for reminding me John! Now I'm glad I rejected the pale yellow sunlight (although I'm keeping the pale yellow curtains, don't argue). It led me to think of you.

If you find out what colour the sunlight actually is, please let me know.

Paul! You are a prolific zombie poet. Well, not a zombie poet, as such, more like a poet of the zombie...

Your postings came in while I was on about pale yellow curtains.

Have to go run up a hill now, till dusk. As one does. Unless one doesn't.

Will respond laters ....

Ants do what ants have to do, despite what humans do.

Or do they?

What a question! I thought, as I watched an ant scuttle over my notebook.

Ant encounters a galaxy of green crayon spirals!

Ant has a Renaissance moment on a page of random numbers.

Ant changes direction in mid-scuttle. Excited Ant has news for the colony.

Oh. Ant has found the cheese sandwich crumbs.
