Mike Martin Poet Personification

Ain'T Life Grand

I'm off to see the grandfolk
Have not been there before
Against the rules in such a place
I'm not quite sure what for

My sister's gone off camping
My bro didn't want to come
He saw his leash and disappeared 
Too early yet for that

So he stayed home with mitsy
Too bad for him I say
More hugs for me 
Much more attention
I'll bring some back for him

What a place this is 
Can't see the top
I'd say half way to heaven
And quite a lengthy corridor 
I wonder where it goes

Trust in grampa he'll take me
To wherever we're bound
Hey look it's gramma sound asleep
Well I'll take care of that

My word what are you doing here
You know we can't do this
But since you're here just feel at home
And check out our new pad

I wont forget this special day
What a ducky place indeed
For the grandest folk I ever knew
I love the Southview Grand

Elaine George July 29, 2015 at 7:13 PM Hi, Mike. You are doing nothing wrong. I have been here on and off since 2006. On the right hand side of this page under Member poet - 5th one down (Best Poems) is where members and non- members come often. Ones that end up there will get lots of hits. Keep reading and commenting on others poetry and they will read yours. Each time read is calculated as a hit. The number of times someone selects your poem as a favorite, determines if is will make the best poem list. Hope this helps.

Elaine George July 29, 2015 at 7:01 PM Sorry Mike, I misunderstood. I did see the part about the leash. I somehow thought the poem was about small kids visiting their grandparents and the bro had lost a leash for his dog. By the way, this poem fits the category of Personification. All the forms of poems can be found and defined under forms located at the upper blue section of this page, close to the left side of the page. I am going on to read more of your poetry. bfn Elaine

Elaine George July 29, 2015 at 8:16 AM Hi Mike, It sounds like you had a wonderful day with your grandparents. I too loved my grandparents, and have written many poems about them: The Love of Gentleman and Frosted Panes, are posted here on Poetry Soup. I look forward to seeing the wonderful poems you will create now that you have found this website. Wishing you a joy-filled day. Elaine Mike Martin July 29, 2015 at 3:12 PM I guess you did not see that part about the leash, but that's ok. It's about a dog visiting the grand parents (parents of the dog owner) in their new condo, where dogs are not allowed. I have grand kinds too. Have not got to them yet. Thanks again. Mike Martin July 29, 2015 at 3:09 PM Thank you kindly. I just looked at your list. How do you get so many views? Am I doing something wrong or am I not doing something right?
