Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

A Bright Red Flashing Neon Light

Sand in the Sandwiches
~
A Tea Named Green
~
Your Shiny Chemo Head
~
Some of my many titles
To encourage
To entice
To invite
~
Titles to call you 
To draw you in
Like a bright red flashing neon light 
~
With Just One Look she’s Norma Desmond
~
Ripe and Ready to Bathe in Gin
~
These titles intrigue 
and encourage

For to delve inside and to read what’s within
A title should captivate and titillate your senses
For now you are eager and keen to begin
To enter my world and get lost in the moment 
My title cajoles you ~ lures and excites you
Happy to greet you and welcome you in

Connie Marcum Wong May 8, 2021 at 9:36 PM Ann, this is so perfect for Line’s contest! You know the secret of grabbing one’s attention with your title. I can see this fine entry at the top already. Excellent! Have a beautiful Mother’s Day my friend. Blessings xxoo Ann Gilmour May 8, 2021 at 9:46 PM Bless you dearest Connie for your lovely words ~ you are too kind my friend. Happy Mother's Day to you too, though our Mother's Day in the UK was in March, but is now for me tinged with sadness, after the death of my only dear son in 2019 - God Bless him xx

Panagiota Romios May 2, 2021 at 12:51 AM Hello Anne. I suspect this to be a winner in Lines CONTEST. YES, Hugs for a big win! By the bye, Ann. I have been threatened, by a Poet here to COMMent by a certain time or else, he would not read me? The ultimate in arrogance as we do not Live in the same country. He had a quota he must reach of comments. Not Poets, to me. I loathe comment collectors. I was also told..do not write much.Your read numbers will bs low?Grown men, arrogant bullies. Pangie xxx Ann Gilmour May 8, 2021 at 9:40 PM Thank you dearest Panagiota for your words of encouragement my friend.. with kindest thoughts Ann xx
