Poem Title:
Poem
Normally, I'd not "Dare" choose just one poet to honor. This time I have, hoping I don't blow it. I've chosen to break my "Silence" in "Gratitude" for "Captain Tom," a man who has a great attitude. He posts "Footle x 20" and genius "Covid Limericks." Ribald anecdotes that make us smile, just for kicks. I pay "A Tribute" to his cleverness and amusing wit. He could stand at "Hells Gates" with "True Grit." We've all enjoyed his "Lockdown Humour" on site. He's not afraid of "Confrontation," and will fight with "A Rattling Rhyme" written with "Sharp Sword." Tom's historical epic writes never leave me bored. He shines like "Northern Lights" in "The Night Sky." Believes in God, if you read his Etheree, "The Magi." Tom Cunningham offers "Wise Words to Ponder" from many years of traveling, hither and yonder. He's usually the first to announce poem of the day. Poetry Soup is like "The Zoo" with lots of wordplay. It's been a "Ghost Town" when "True Angels" left leaving Tom feeling very sad and terribly bereft. He wrote "If I Ruled The World" I'd have a goal... There'd be no bullies or "Gremlins in My Soup Bowl!" Then post "A Few Limericks to Lighten Your Mood." Mark my words; Captain Tom can be mighty shrewd. At "Daybreak" he might be hard to find, out of reach. Likely, he's taking "An Early Morning Walk on the Beach." A little "Red Wine" and he gets into "Mischief," and yet, I doubt Tom often walked on "The Highway of Regret." He's a man of morals, so "Don't Criticize" my choice. "In Times Like These" I appreciate his fine poetic voice. Tom is a loyal friend; who genuinely seems to care. On "Life's Journey," he's not ready for "The Rocking Chair."
