Larry Bradfield Poet Rhyme

A Bird of Note

It may seem a trifle to the horde -
Or perhaps mere mordacious wit.
But I, wizened more than most afford,
Was not shackled by some rhyme unfit.

He let his brain loiter as he wrote -
Hoping his pen would elicit praise.
"Cartridge", said he, "is a bird of note"
But I've put one in guns all my days

John Hamilton April 12, 2017 at 10:10 AM I'm having a few songs worked on, have a few singers in mind, things progressing slowly but surely. Larry Bradfield April 9, 2017 at 9:34 PM I wondered if it was a little too subtle, too,,thanks for the comment! What's happening with your music publication?

John Michaels April 9, 2017 at 2:31 AM To a certain extent, I think we all hope our pens elicit praise! Congratulations on your win! Larry Bradfield April 9, 2017 at 9:32 PM Thank you, John!
