Extended Poetry “Pt III: Green Thumb”
The leprechaun so gay and dancing
Is lucky to be alive
Is lucky to be so lucky
The leprechaun knows more than you and I
Knows why mushrooms wiggle in the ground
Knows why people attend shores
The deep enigma in it every single day
Basting in the sand
Showing off their brand new bathing suits
To all the girls and boys
Just lazing in a void of life
In a wind of salt and sand
In the air, within their hair
Just staring at the sun
It’s such a fake-accent way of life
Way to drown the hours in a day
As they live their fake accents
Leprechauns watch in dismay
Conversing with turtles
Aquaintancing with snails
They’re just not worth the time of day
In the burning single summer sway
The leprechaun knows
What plunges down the rainbow?
Plunges down the waves
That shoves you out of the water
To catch a little dip
That’s all you were after
How we graze the garden
At the ripe edges of creativity
