Time for Poetry Friday. My poetic well dried up this week during MOP. I wrote some poems...that pretty much stink. So I give you a poem that sprang out of the dry well. It doesn't stink quite as much as the others. Go to Live Your Poem (What a cool name) to see the other Poetry Friday thoughts. Irene Latham hosts this week. (She eats words for breakfast.)
I search my mind
for a great rhyme,
I only need
one perfect line.
Just an ode
or a word
lyrical preferred.
A song or long verse
because nothing's
worse,
than a poet
who doesn't
know it.
Thanks for reading.
Love this! Happy Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been stuck
ReplyDeletein a muck.
Not much luck.
Thanks for reading, my friend.
Made me smile :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd it made me think about a couple of poems I wrote about my Amy, and that always make me a little bit sad but a little bit happy, too.
We NEED to meet somewhere. C ships out in 39 days.
Have a blessed weekend!
love it--I can't write poetry to save my life so I think anyone who can is pretty awesome :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! LOVE!!!
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
What's MOP? Sorry to hear that your well needs a refill. I enjoyed your poem :-) What do you think about adding a little punctuation on this bit: "Just an ode
ReplyDeleteor a word
lyrical preferred." Either a colon after "word" or parentheses around (lyrical preferred)?
Tabatha, LOVE it. Thank you. It makes it read so much better. MOP is Month of Poetry. This is my second January doing it. Love Kat (the brains behind it). You write a poem every day in Jan. On Saturdays you go inside the locked blog and she gives a prompt. It's wonderful.
DeleteI adored that! :D
ReplyDeleteHey Chrys, thanks. I am hoping the fountain will be full again soon. Ha.
DeleteMade me smile! Good going, amigo! :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun! ��
ReplyDeleteI think that was a wonderful poem, Robyn! I'll bet your other ones are much better than you think. Hugs, dear! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWe're our harshest critics that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great. Love it!
This sounds great to me! I think we can all relate! :) Super job!
ReplyDelete~Jess
Yep. Happens to all of us. This was fun, though.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! And I especially like that last part. A great twist on a popular phrase.
ReplyDeleteYou did great, Rob! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Good one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem to read~ superb~
ReplyDeleteExcellent poem! I laughed out loud! You should be able to give up your day job now!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! :D
ReplyDeleteYou had me grinning. My favorite line had to be "lyrical preferred." It can be so tricky to get just the right words down, eh?
ReplyDeleteHi, Robyn! I thought you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for an award. If you stop by my blog, you can pick it up.

I love it! Well done, Bestie!
ReplyDeleteYou too funny!
ReplyDeleteLyrical preferred--fun poem! It's hard to write a poem a day. I'm impressed that you're even trying it.
ReplyDeleteYour mission, Robyn, should you choose to accept it is to pick up an award on my blog. As always, should you be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
ReplyDeleteAwww, this is so cute Robyn. It doesn't stink at all, it does exactly what a poem is supposed to do...say what you feel. You nailed THAT, I love it!
ReplyDeleteRhyming is tricky for me, but you have that down to a T (hey, that rhymed!) :)
ReplyDeleteA song or long verse
ReplyDeletebecause nothing's
worse,
than a poet
who doesn't
know it. .. hahaha true! ... than a poet who doesn't know it. :P
There's a poet here called Irene
ReplyDeleteWhose lines are on this theme.
She hit the write note
With each word she wrote.
How I wish to be on her team!
