A line of poetry is good, if iambs it does make.(Ooh, a poem about poetry—the serpent eating it's tail, man, the serpent...) Happy Poetry Friday! Your turn.*
A line of poetry is good, if rhymes it shan’t forsake.
If metaphor and simile, it casts about like seeds,
Up shall grow the finest poem, amongst the prosy weeds.
Or not.
* The choice of subject is yours: a poem about poetry, about cyclical serpents, about why you don't like your toes, whatever.
There was a young lady from Keswick,
ReplyDeleteWho adored the occasional limerick,
And while taking a shower,
At the earliest hour,
Graced the neighbours with bawdy blue lyrics.
That was fun! :)
you, slimbolala

my poem for friday
summer solstice
ReplyDeleteearth too hot to move
sun sweating too
I seek as I roam

A Friday too late
