Poetry Picnic at Olive Garden

Image Credit: Google.com

Take a piece of paper,
Empty like the lazy afternoon,
Fill in lyrics,
Under the watchful moon.
.
Add some Haiku,
Short and sweet,
List them together,
And let it sit.
.
For a surprise,
compose an imperfect prose,
When the number of guests rise,
Shape your poetry like a red rose.
.

    Thank you for sharing this poem. It was fun to read this one, and I am touched that you have mentioned haiku (because haiku is my passion).

    Such a cool poem-invitation. It would be special framed on the wall of a writing class...would give such warm acceptance of everyone's contributions.

    I especially like the comparison of the lazy afternoon and the blank piece of paper. Quite clever.
