How's your Booboo Doing?

How’s your booboo doing?

Hope great “like rock and shine?”

Sweet melodies of happiness, pop corn with soda crowns

How’s your booboo smiling?

With dimples one per cheek?

Mild curved-lips basked in sparkling teeth, a chuckle in-between

How’s your booboo feeling?

That forever you’re his own?

No pain or foe, friend sis or bro, must make you break the bow.

So tell me how you’re feeling?

Much sunshine clasped in glory?

Yea with a boo and fine as yours, there is no need to worry.

GRASS BEAUTIFUL

Grass Beautiful

Green, red, yellow;

On  land or water,

Soft like marshmallows

Grows everywhere, “softeners”

Planted by no one

Watered by sky or sea

Its use, most mammals recall

Scattered abroad for all to see

Some soft, others sharp

Some long, others short

Some thick, others flat

Some blond, others another form

Dies at night, alive with the sun

Taken for granted,

Abused with scorn

Yet spreads it seeds even when unwanted

Sometimes seen as a mess

But with care it remains a beauty to see

With soft colors, your day it could bless

With shine, serenity and peace.

Grass beautiful

Who calls you ugly that can make you?

Grass wonderful

Who cuts you that can for ever break you?
