Doodly
doodly
doodly doo.
An eye
in the sky
and a cloud or two.
A mountain
garbed in
trees and a stream.
Elephants and
butterflies
dance in a dream.
A border,
a banner,
a motto, a pheasant.
A motto?
Yes, I should
always be present.
Note: Have you ever doodled your way through a meeting? Here, I use the William Carlos Williams form, Triversen, which is three phrases per sentence, and six sentences each having its own stanza. Like doodling, my sentences are fragmented, wandering and rule-breaking. This was inspired by Poetry for Kids Joy and Robert Lee Brewer, Senior Content Editor of Writer’s Digest.

I had never tried to doodle verbally before. It was liberating in a way. And quicker. 🙂
