Did you ever lose something important and had no idea how to find it. Well I have...

I’m Going On a Treasure Hunt

 

I wrote a poem the other day to bring a laugh or two.

But when it was finished, only sadness came through.

I think I lost my funny bone and I have no idea where.

I’ve tried really hard to find it under here, under there.

 

But nowhere I searched or looked revealed its hiding place.

Finding only gloom and doom had the funny bone replaced.

No wonder I can’t find it with all those dreadful things around.

It must be hiding awfully deep going utterly underground.

 

I must dig a lot deeper for I want to make you laugh.

Right now if I tried to write, it would only bring your wrath.

 So I’m going on a treasure hunt to find what I have lost.

It may take a little while but I’ll unearth it at all cost.

 

Every now and again I find a modest giggle or two.

But it’s not near enough to get a good laugh out of you.

That funny bone was such a valued & treasured part of me.

SO I will find it somewhere, you just wait and see.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

I agree with Fee's comment below about this one Bonnie. Don't worry. I've never read a poem of yours that wasn't a keeper. You're a true poet so let come what may and listen to your muse/inner voice.
Hugs,

Our mind and body have their own direction.... often, we are going thru a "seasonal" change or perhaps just "resting" and then....watch out! Your humor touches so many lives, as does your serious and thought provoking pieces... I believe that HE leads us to what we must be doing at any particular time in life...so... stop hunting for the treasure...because YOU ARE THE TREASURE.... hugs, lindalaw

I believe it is really not very far but I also believe it is not always needed to make others laugh, sometimes we need to share the raindrops as well as the sunshine.

Sweetie, I'll bet you will, too!!! Here's a secret (don't tell anyone); you can do like I do. All I have to do is look in the mirror, and that always gives me the giggle I need to get started. Works every time :-)
