I went with the dust bunnies the other day
to have a picnic and to watch them play
I watched them jump, pounce, scamper and run
as they enjoyed the warmth of the sun
Around the bushes I would see them peek
playing dust bunny hide and go seek
Exploring new places and dancing with delight
amazed at the view of a butterfly in flight
Smelling the flowers and with squirrels they do chat
Looking real nice with acorn-top hats
Catching centipedes and counting their legs
and exploring bird nests to get a peek at some eggs
Making innocent wishes on dandelion fluff
wanting only more friends with each little puff
Looking for secret things under the leaves
and watching the bluebirds in tops of the trees
Then they sat down on the blanket to eat
and each was so happy eating their treat
A bit of sweet chocolate and a ice cream cone
their bellies were full. It was time to go home.
They creeped in the basket to all take a nap
I smiled to myself as I slowly headed back
for as always the dust bunnies make me smile
There is beauty around us, Enjoy it for awhile.
Just another dust bunny poem, they need more than one to do them justice.

Have you ever thought of writing a children's book based on these delightful dust bunnies? Good storyline and excellent poetry...

Wow, that was a funny read. Not only that but the rhyme scheme and the meter were wonderfully consistent which made it flow. Bravo to you.
