It’s Poetry Friday – hooray! I’m having a busy week, the last one before school goes back here in my part of the world, but I didn’t want to let a Friday go by without sharing a poem that always makes me smile.
I’m Glad the Sky is Painted Blue
I’m glad the sky is painted blue,
And the earth is painted green,
With such a lot of nice fresh air
All sandwiched in between

Have a great Friday. Poetry Friday this week is being hosted by These4corners. Head there to see a round up of all the poetry-goodness that is Poetry Friday.
I have a special affinity for blues and greens so I am glad to read that poem today. 🙂
Glad to make you smile, Myra 🙂
No matter whether it’s summer or winter when we share the same blue sky, right?
True!
The perfect sandwich! It’s a lovely poem, one that will surely delight the young and encourage comparisons in all their observations.
Hi, Sally–
Nice to meet you! That’s a very tasty sandwich indeed, and thanks for sharing. It’s nice to have more visitors from other climes with us on Poetry Friday…
Nice to meet you, too, Heidi. I certainly notice the differences between where I am and where most of you are – all the poems about cold and ice make me smile. We’re in the midst of a heat wave here!
I love this poem, too, Sally! A great reminder to stay grounded in the now. =)
Small and sweet and perfect to memorize! Thanks for sharing it, Sally.
What a delightful poem! I love “such a lot of nice fresh air.” I feel the spaciousness of it, which makes me feel lighter.
