Heaven
heavens
to betsy, this poetry has gotten
far
too serious. Now hell would be serious, warm and toasty
but
probably not fun like heaven
so
let’s go light or lite and think about rainbows,
chocolate,
seeing folks we miss (my Mom, my Nana),
and
being young and thin and carefree again
or
still old and pudgy but carefree again
throw
away the glasses, no aches or pains
green
grass, blue skies, and fields of flowers
beaches,
and butterflies, mountains, and fountains
heaps
of mashed potatoes, and endless enchiladas
whimsical
roundtables with endless laughs
soaring
music with choirs of rock angels
peace
and love and peace and love
and
peace and love and peace and love
heaven
should be peace and love to
infinity
Somehow I missed the chocolate the first time, but was relieved to see it there on second glance! ;)
ReplyDeletewhew - close call. Always chocolate on the list!
DeleteDo you think there are mashed potatoes and chocolate in Heaven? I like to believe it's like in that movie "Defending Your Life," where you can eat whatever you want and never get fat. But I'm guessing there's no food (or tastebuds) in Heaven!
ReplyDeleteI believe it's what you can dream
DeleteYour poems are so charming. Love the imagery.

DeleteYes - I think it would be heaven being re-united with all of my pets who have passed away - my husband thinks that would be his idea of hell - oh dear we might not be going together!!

I'm not a big animal person, so I might be hanging back with your husband.
DeleteI think your picture of heaven could be the same as mine.

ReplyDeleteglad you came by
DeleteI'm going to Purgatory.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there a spell.
But, what is the story?
That, no one will tell.
Is it like Hell?
Run by a devil named 'Mabel'?*
Or, is it like, well...
Heaven without cable?
*Hey, 'Mabel' rhymed.
nice job. My heaven will have Netflix!
