Poem: We Socks, Big Smiles

 

Wet Socks, Big Smiles

With boots on tight, I take a leap,
Into a puddle that's ankle-deep.
Water splashes high and I feel so bold,
But now my toes are icy cold!

I jump again and can't help but grin,
As raindrops soak me, chin to shin.
The puddles win, my socks are wet,
But it's the most fun I've had yet!


- Kasper F. Christiansen


As a child this is pure joy, fun and a very normal thing to do.

I believe more should do this. Even adults. Leave the smartphone at home. 

Go outside. Jump in a puddle. As high as you can. Splash! 

This is something we miss in our lives. That simple fun and joy.

I hope you enjoyed this little poem.

Three poems from the darkness...

Greetings strong friends!  In this post I will share three poems from 'Monster Poetry'. They are deep and dark, and a little funny, because that is needed. I will try to make some longer post with more content than just posting one poem at a time. Though, this means that I won't be posting as often as I did from the beginning. I'm very proud of my work, and I really like sharing it and get feedback, and just spread some joy, entertainment and food for thoughts.  I hope it works out and that you'll enjoy it.  The Cranky Count In a creepy castle, dark and tall, Lives Dracula, the scariest of all. With fangs like knives and a cloak so black, He’s always sneaking, so watch your back! He’s ancient, cranky, and hates sunlight, He’d rather lurk in the dead of night. Sipping “tomato juice” from a glass, But blink too long, and he’ll be on your neck, fast! He thinks he’s classy, dressed in style, But smelling like dust, he’ll cramp your smile. He’s got no Wi-Fi...

Poem: The Misunderstood Monster

  The Misunderstood Monster He is patched-up strange, a walking fright, With stitches showing and skin so tight! One eye is too big, the other small, He lumbers down the empty hall. Don’t make him mad, or else beware, He’ll give you quite the spooky scare! He has read some books, so he’s super smart, But “normal life” is not his art. Just wants a friend, but gets a scream, Like he’s the villain of a meme. Kids run away when he says “Hi!” Guess charm was never his strong guy. Abandoned by his “dad,” poor dude, Now all he’s got is an attitude. A monster? Sure, but feel his pain, Because people treat him with disdain. So if you see him on the street, Just wave, who knows? He might be sweet! - Kasper F. Christiansen One of the first poems that I have ever written. I hope you enjoyed it.

A few jokes #2

  A few jokes #2   What do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator...     What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummi bear...     What do you call a sleeping bull? A bulldozer... Why don't oysters donate to charity? Because they are shellfish!     Why did the frog take the bus to work? Because his car got toad...     Why are fish so smart? Because they live in schools.     My fridge is a terrible secret keeper. It keeps spilling the beans...     I tried to organize my socks, but they refused to tow the line... And that sucks! I hope this brings a little smile or some giggles. :)
