A Twisted Keats Strand

There was a naughty girl, Doris
and a naughty girl was she
Nothing would  she do but...
Daydream about arts and poetry
Like a puzzle to be solved in my vision

Why was this so?
Brian Strand among others have a regular
contest to stimulate the pen and mind of me.
Reading other's works
Helps to pass the time
Emotions and ideas flow
until the thought becomes written upon paper
and filed away at poetry soup.com

There was a naughty girl Doris
and a very naughty girl was she
nothing would she do but surf poetry soup and write poems.
Encouraging other naughty/nice boys and girls
Like Colleen, Jared, Richard, Marty and yes Little Sara.

Take a poetry break-Carol, and all poetry soup friends
Don't do the dishes
Don't do the Laundry

Come on Dane Ann, Carolyn, Phyllis,
Sweetheart, Let's play
Don't do the vacuuming
Don't do the cooking
Take out, tonight!!

When we are naughty, go all the way!!

For Brian Strand's contest christmas parlour poetry

Sounds like fun :) I'm on vacation/break for another 2 weeks, in which time, I intend to make up for the last 4 months of writing nothing but dry, academic and professional papers :D Poetry soup seems just the fun kind of place to do that! Congratulations on your contest placement!

Ah, that's not naughty at all, Doris! Sounds like you know how to have fun and enjoy life. I for one am up for the takeout tonight! Unfortunately, poor Dane Ann is dining on hospital food. You bring a very refreshing voice to Poetry Soup! Much love, Carolyn

Very encouraging write. I think I'll be naughty but Santa is on the way and I might better think twice. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Good luck in the contest. Mom
