I was watching a couple of cottontail rabbits nibbling at the the lawn and I got to thinking about grass. And no, I do not smoke grass (or anything else for that matter). But grass skirts are nice, don't you think?
Grass
Grass is great A grassless place is grim Life there is tenuous at best You can roll grass Roll on it Roll in it Some wear grass skirts In grass On grass Depending on the length There is green grass Golden grass Blue grass (music to the ears for some) Sweet grass Pampas grass Feather grass (it'll tickle your fancy) Fescue grass Rye grass Maiden grass Canary grass (tweet tweet) That’s sweet And not to forget Sage grass (some say it makes you wise) Some smoke grass Some prefer it in pastry Or tea Whichever way you look at it Grass is great
IN IT'S NATURAL STATE 'GRASS' IS WONDERFUL AND ITS VARIED USES ARE COUNTLESS...FROM A NATURAL BEDDING TO CLOTHING AND CARPETING THAT SOFTENS AND BEAUTIFIES...MANY OF OUR PATHS. BUT JUST TO GET REAL, IT WAS GOOD ROLLED UP AND SMOKED TOO(SMILE)...DAYS OF LONG AGO, THAT I THANK GOD FOR DELIVERANCE FROM, AMEN. ALTHOUGH NOW, ITS MEDICINIAL VALUE IS BEING APPRECIATED WITH THE HOPE THAT IT'S NOT ABUSED. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Love the skirt, but Hawaii is the last place I'd like to visit. It just doesn't appeal to me, nor does smoking Grass. But the green green grass of him does appeal to me. It's a secure feeling.

Grass is indeed great. We have fake grass in our backyard now in LA. It's like carpet: no mud, no fuss, just clean and easy and always the same length.
Ahhh nicely inspired by nature with thoughts of that 'grass skirt' coming to the surface ... we should all stop and notice the beauty that surrounds us. Hugs, Elizabeth :)
When I was taking creative writing workshops, the first thing they taught us is that, in every piece of writing, something must change. I hate to say it, but I don't see much changing here. What is it you want readers to get out of this poem, and what do you want them to take away from it?
Ah, the wonders of grass in all of its forms, To be able to marvel at such a small facet of life is truly a gift, and one I don't believe enough of us are thankful for. Pierre.
And of course, some "smoke" it, political statements aside. But the only thing pesky about grass is that it has to be cut. But it's a whole lot better looking and softer than rocky sand!

I smiled as I read this as it brought to me a memory of me drawing grass skirts for a friend of mine, and yes he liked it........but reading of the many different kinds of grass........I am left wondering.....mind in both natural and well other places......I am wondering about the, "Feather Grass." ? Details! :-)
Wow, I can see why you are suscessful! This poem reminded me of childhood, and rolling down a grassy hill. I loved to and still do love to play in grass. I never smoke it but I wish I could!

It truly must be Spring; almost Summer, Regis!!! The picture looks like a poster for a quick getaway to another far off place filled with Peace and Grass. Peace and love, dear hippie friend. God bless and love from Meredith (who stayed away from THAT one kind of grass. God knows I was spacy enough! :) Love your clever musings!!!
Grass is great indeed (apart from Mardi Gras) and so is your poem. It's pleasant and green, soft, lithe and fun as is grass itself. Enjoyed reading.

LOL a clever write Regis. It's amazing where the mind goes when one unleashes it. I have never given grass much thought...other than the fact that it is a nice place to lie back on when you look up at stars and it feels great beneath bare feet on a dew-soaked morn.

My only complaint about grass is the constant mowing, mowing, mowing.
Enjoyed this one, Regis.
What a fun write. I never knew there were so many different kind of grasses. I don't have a green thumb, however, I can let that grass skirt work for me...lol.
Once again a truly magnificent write Regis.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day full of love, peace and happiness.
... and it just tastes so good as well as being an olfactory aphrodisiac, I think. This takes me right back to me roots (ouch!), Regis, and reminds me not to give up on summer here completely... thinkin of which, some of my favourite grasses are sea grasses, loving to hide out in the dunes as I do... bit prickly, those, though!! And I guess, judging by the picture, most of the fellas here wouldn't mind a bit of cut grass... :)) LOL Kate xx
hehe very clever write Reg..I love rolling in grass (especially when I'm flying off the end of a slip and slide) but I'm allergic and I get hives :( no fun..no fun at all. take care and HUGS..I don't stop to comment nearly enough...
How right you are Regis, so many kinds of grass we just take it for granted.They even use some kinds in cancer treatments. This is a fine poem! Thank you for sharing...
There is also: Tai weed grass,
Hydroponic grass,
Columbian grass,
Hawaiian grass,
And it can be: Green,
Gold,
Brown,
White,
But even with grass, I still have two black thumbs, I cannot grow anything...but I would love to smoke what that cute young lady is wearing, right up to and including her...well, you know, as we have a varied audience here...Peace, bro', Ed & rufuz

Saw a rabbit myself today, Regis. Came very close for a wild thing. I think they can sense when someone means them no harm. Yes, grass
is great. Some of my best memories are of laying in the
grass and daydreaming or nightdreaming under the stars. Enjoyed...
I love grass.It's green and I feel it with my toes...I love the smell it gives after a good rain and then after it's mowed...I love grass as much as is evident you do with this green tribute. It's a poem of life.

You can roll it, you can roll in it...unless you live in Texas. Either the fire ants git you or the dry stalks poke new holes in yer hide...still and all, a fantastic, humorous write. I miss the green green grass of Ohio...thanks for the memory jog. LOL Love it, and you!
I don't ever think I've encountered grass that I didn't like! Ha ha! This is a sweet write Reg, especially so since your inspiration were a couple of rabbits! I've always maintained that God must have been having an especially good day when he created bunnies...look how cute they are! Bodies carved from a hand of love. Love you, Michelle
