Carefree (Swap Quatrain)

by Sylvia   Sep 16, 2009


Wild and crazy, carefree
running with abandonment, full of glee.
There's a yellow paper daisy,
carefree, wild and crazy.

Hair askew, arms raised toward the sky,
smiles and laughter, echoing a reply.
Day dreams can come true.
Arms raised toward the sky, hair askew.

Grass between my toes, feels so good,
tickles, just like I knew it would.
On the hillside, grows a primrose.
Feels so good, grass between my toes.

An exquisite day, perfect in every respect,
a time to enjoy life, a time to reflect.
Beauty and splendor, take me away.
Perfect in every respect, an exquisite day.
