“……and Jitters did WHAT for that little injured girl?”


 

 

 

 

“……and Jitters did WHAT for the abused girl we found?”

 

 

So friends in circling love laved herbs and oils on battered child.

So critters in crooning bowing eased twinight’s falling shades.

So all questers ne’er doubted the Light would wait e’er so mild.

So blessings and healings and hummings covered all in glades.

 

“What, what? Hark, hark!ย  Bark, bark! So snark a jumper enters here,”

cried all friends at once as new dancer, new prancer, Mr. Jitters did come.

“Me, Mr. Jitters, me flips and trips all ’bout ye healin’,come to wipe tear

of bashin’ from this dear girlie eye wid me dancin’ and me totin’ like a bum.”

 

So Mr. Jitters did swing, so sweet, dear girl to broad shoulder of mercy.

So all friends did gasp and swoon and fall to praying knee at suchย a jest,

Yet jest bearing lightย of fresh-born hope to face born by such nursey,

Such new hope face alight in swinging by Jitters,all bouncing blessed.

    Rose, this is a wonderful poem adding Mr. Jitters to your collection of critters and there’s nothing better than feeling hope at the end…the imagery in these two lines below was very vivid and I could almost hear the “gasp!” ๐Ÿ™‚

      Thanks so much, Lauren! I was afraid some of my more gentle followers, such as yourself, would be a little worried about Mr. Jitters swinging that little injured girl up on his shoulder for a dance and a romp! I suspect you gasped a little along with the other critters, right? Gotta luv ya!

        Maybe a little gasp, but only because you continue to stun me with your talent in writing these delightful poems, Rose! I’m not that gentle; I can take it! ๐Ÿ™‚ Hugs!

          I know you are a very STRONG woman, Lauren! It’s just that you have a very nurturing side to you that I admire so much. I am working to let more of my own nurturing side show! Bless you for saying you gasp at my talent! What would we do without you in Blogville?

    Rose! You’re playing with jazz now. One note bouncing off two to find rhythm and tone. You’ve set the stage for a great jam session here, Rose, you should be very proud.

    So glad Mr Jitters didn’t keep jitters in saving that little girl. ‘Course, we need more Mr Jitters around the world. We would be so lucky if that were so and little girls didn’t have to grow up so fast with hard times.

    Beautiful, Granbee. I always knows where to find encouragement and a dash of critter-juve when things are not quite right… you are indeed a blessing! A special thanks to Greg also! God bless, good friend.

      M and T, you are more than gracious in saying you always find encouragement here! Yes, Brother Greg’s contributions are such a wondrous blessing, aren’t they? Critters can set things right in a “juvey” way, for sure!
