Is It?
Is the grass really greener…
On the other side?
Does it seem it
from where you abide?
Are they happier
Are they content?
Do they fight
To what extent?
Is she thinner?
Does he snore?
When it rains
Does it pour?
Is the house
All clean and neat?
Beds all made
And ironed sheets?
Do their kids
Get all straight A’s?
Are they athletes
Winning praise?
When the dog
Goes out to poop
Does he clean
With his own scoop?
Take a hard look
Is it really green?
Maybe you’re looking
Through a screen…….

Howdy Neighbor!
The grass would be greener ... If I lived next door to you!
Another exelent poem Linda!
Ray
Thanks Ray....
Oh Really?.....greener huh?
Linda LOL!
Greener
What I was trying to communicate to you is... If I lived next to you my life would be more enhanced and blessed having someone as creative, smart, fun and nurturing... as you are...for a neighbor... Not that my grass would be greener and more plush... But if it was... I would let roll around in it!..But be careful...there may be a good reason why it is Greener... Dog fertilizer! LOL
Ray
sweet, Ray
thanks for the compliments!
Linda
good poem Linda
I liked this one Linda it is so true to life yes things always look greener on the other side and very often they are not a great poem well written from Willow
Right!
more often, they are not greener on the other side. i wonder why we sometimes think they are?
Thanks for your kind words again.
Linda
Another great read...
Because anything that takes us away from what ails our lives always seems better to us...especially when we see others with what we're all told is supposed to make us happy...well, according to what society governs anyway.
Stay well, One love and God bless!
