Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Cheerful Rhyme

Giggle, chortle, chuckle, laugh,
Snicker and guffaw;
Titter, be in stitches, snort
As if you broke the law.

Cackle, beam and grin so wide
Your cheeks will start to hurt.
Set your face aglow like when
You eat the best dessert.

Keep the real world from your thoughts
And let your mind employ
Whatever tactics it may have
To conjure up some joy.

Maurice Rigoler April 4, 2020 at 6:50 PM Timely advice for all of us incarcerated in our homes or apartments. I keep busy with several things – writing, of course, and editing; listening to You Tube and classical music concerts, walks with the dog now that spring weather is here, reading French and watching good cooking programs. Inviting select friends for dinner is out now, but hopefully those happy times will return. / M

John Watt April 3, 2020 at 2:34 PM A wonderful conjuring act, Ilene! You have brought a smile in 13 flavors!

Rico Leffanta April 3, 2020 at 2:02 PM Poetry Soup would certainly be a dreary connection without your input! More! More! More! Aloha! Rico (captcha code is: "B4U" and I am!)
