James Horn Poet Couplet

A Mermaid

A Mermaid or In Response to Poem of the Day

 

There was a maiden that they called a miracle

Containing emphatic data defined by empirical

But to measure her beauty was hard to use

So we had to come up with a perfect excuse.

 

Even though lingering lights did become dim 

Along with all other poets happened to them

Wits were without and many may have known

Pictures and personalities were caste in stone.

 

This was when we soon started and realized

They were all beyond belief and unrecognized

Found out only one receiving a passing grade

Was Margie the miracle who became a mermaid.

 

Ho Ho Ho

Eve Roper February 24, 2015 at 2:14 PM ? My brain process is very slow, one of my problems, so I am confused. Your quote; In response to Poem of the Day Today’s poem talks about “Fog” on the open seas And yours is about a mermaid Eve Roper February 24, 2015 at 4:07 PM Thank you a 7 any way I enjoyed but was confused James Horn February 24, 2015 at 2:47 PM The lights became dim although many of us poets might be in a fog. Some of my poem was inspired by Poem of the Day while parts may have been inadvertent add on's to cover up the rest of my lunacy. Now you really got me thinking. On to next poem to write. Jim Horn
