Have You Ever ...........

Have you ever sung with a sparrow
By imitating it's "tweet"
Though the bird looks a little baffled
Boy, it is a great duet

Have you ever climbed up a tall, thin
And gangly papaya tree
To have it slowly bend down to earth
Because of the weight of thee

Have you ever pulled the pony-tail
Of the pretty girl next door
While deep inside you can't decide if
You like or dislike her more

Have you ever tried to catch the wind
As it passes in a rush
Try as you may, chasing it about
It is always air you grasp

Have you ever sat on a tube and
Go sliding fast down a hill
Even if you fall and tumble down
Gosh, it is still such a thrill

Have you ever tried to speak to one
On whom you have a huge crush
And end up tongue-tied and stammering
Your face coloured red with blush

Have you ever played in the puddles
That's left by the recent rain
And then return home, wet and dirty
To mama's dismay again

Have you ever listened to a song
While playing your air guitar
Darn it, at times I do more than that
I conduct an orchestra

Have you ever felt like Peter Pan
Flying high up in the sky
It's all because the girl of your dreams
Smiles sweetly when passing by

If we have never done the things we do
Would I still be I, and you still be you



Live today as if it is your last
For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Have you ever felt your heart stirred
By a poet far away
The bond made by the common good
Enduring come what may

Great BLOG! Great poetry! I once guessed that you maybe a doctor, now, I thought that you should be a poet,more.
Your imagination is rich, poet's imagination is rich. It is not easy, rein good imagination horse-drawn vehicle.
Thanks!!!

Hi flower,
Thank you. I was a Scientific Officer(Biochemistry) with the Ministry of Health. I am now learning and experimenting with writing poetry. My regret is that I don't know Chinese so I can't enjoy
Chinese poetry, just some of the translations. Chinese poetry is very flowery. Does it have to rhyme?
Oh, there are doctors who write poetry, too.

Hi summer,
Do you mean you have never done all these things before? Like you have never climbed up a papaya tree? Or play an air guitar?Girls!?!?!?
I have done those things and I still do some of them like singing with the sparrow. It's fun.
I think shirl's comment explains my last two lines.

Wonderful, just wonderful. My first time here. I didn't know that you wrote. It is just great. Brought back memories of riding my bike in the rain.

Hi Barbie,
Welcome and thank you. Riding a bike in the rain is fun, too except during a thunderstorm.
