Betty Simile

A simple, fun, and playful poem that combines my love for baking and writing.  This poem simply says, "What a wonderful world!"

Paradise perfect as phyllo
Rain redolent as candied rose
Clouds as cotton candy fluff
Ground like green glazed coconut
Trees as thick truffle bark
Flowers as freshly frosted art
Soil soft as sponge cake and
Sun for nature to bake

-a.a. morrow

Betty Smith

This is a poem written by me. The theme is everything turns full circle. We will return to the natural, eventually.

Playground

Concrete Streets,
chain linked Swings,
drones make honey,
for queen bee to eat.

Concrete streets hold
jungle gyms of brass.
little monkeys need
the time to pass.

Conrete Streets,
merry go ‘round,
fun little ride,
until we all fall down.

Aren’t we yet tired?
Lets break for water.
Grass from the past
will grow through the cracks
of concrete streets.
