A Finely Turned Phrase

'Kinetic conundrums,' such a finely turned phrase, or
perchance 'effervescent rhododendrons' -- their glories ablaze 
The Beatles' walrus cu-cu-ca-chu'd
                                      Frankie boy scooby-dooby-dooed  
    I'd finish this poem, but it might come unglued

Great! (And I changed the last line, which originally read: I'd finish this poem, but far from me to be lewd). You can choose now between the two. Thank you so much, Ilene! :) gw

You can turn a phrase so quickly, and in a whimsical way, my friend!

Thank you so much, Caren. I hope I don't sound too vain in stating that I am as proud of receiving this compliment as I can possibly be. It means a world to me (as I really, sincerely try hard with these poems, and it actually doesn't come naturally at all to me). Deeply, deeply appreciated! Best always, gw
