Mike Dailey Poet Monorhyme

All the Little Pieces

Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces
Your cousins and your wife, your nephews and your nieces
Your kids and your grand kids; their elbows and their kneeses
The hugs and kisses they hand out and all their little squeezes
Your pets both big and small; Great Danes or Pekineses
Your triplets and your twins and even Siameses
And all those trips you took in hot times or in freezes
The weather in your life through calm or gentle breezes
And when you hit it big; your name on the marquises
When you were in perfect health and all your coughs and sneezes
If you could do it all again in multiple reprises
You’d find that all these crumbs of life are all that ever pleases

Cyndi Macmillan June 19, 2011 at 9:13 PM ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wow! Really like this one. It's both funny and wise---my favourite mix in a well written poem. I'm not sure if guys do this, but us gals are notorious for snipping comics, little quotes from magazines, and other whatnots and putting them in their purses. I hope you smile when I say this is purse worthy, one of those gems that are reread because they make a valid point but in a pleasant and polished style - MORE PLEASE! :-) Cyndi Mike Dailey June 20, 2011 at 7:21 AM It is an honor to hear that something I wrote was purse worthy. Have you ever tried to write a poem that described what it took to be purse worthy? think about it - then write it for me. Mike
