A Would Be Poet



 Oh, I'd love to be Samantha Silly,
 And only pen couplets, willy-nilly.

 Only of toads and mice, I'd write!
 Cheese and crackers,in the moonlight.

 Forget beauty and any meaning!
 Mesmerized by a fly on the ceiling.

 Add an image just for big laughs.
 Making believe, I am a poet with class!

I love short poems. They are very precise thoughts that I can understand and relate. Thanks for this one!

Pangi, so mean-spirited and Funny! Such commitment. There are 65,000 soupers here, I wonder how many of us think it is about us? I'm the activist souper, for marginalized groups, Gays etcetera etcetera, etcetera. Jesus would want that. Liz became a Jew for one of her hundreds of husbands...now that's commitment! I've been interloping with 'the Heads' I call them, on the home page... Have a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend Pangie!

Anaya! Sorry. I am not in love with my Poetry. I just wanted you to be clear on its meaning. This is not a 30 line poem. Lol. Apologize for my request. Panagiota

It’s not mean spirited. Poetry is an art form. I just read there are 18,000 soupers here. If people take offense, it’s their choice. I have written tributes to specific poets.and honored all soupers many times. Go through my past poems! I was simply doing a rhyme scheme,AND.,,the poem, my friend is about ME, Re-Read the first line, I said “I”.Get it? LOL.. Memorial Day is to remember and honor those Americans who gave their lives for us. Will post a poem tomorrow about that! I am here to be a friend to any poet Hugs.., Pangie
