Charlie's 8x8x8x8 Contest February 9, 2025

For hours I sit without speaking More when I find myself seeking Lines for poetry that must rhyme Signs that I've been wasting my time Quite often, my mind goes adrift Plight of poets without the gift Of writing their romantic thoughts Love must flow from amorous hearts

Lin, this is so well done, dear friend. Reading the first five lines is me to a tee! The last 3 topped this off perfectly! Congratulations on your top win in my contest!

Love the last three lines…perhaps it is so. Congrats, Lin the Poet, never wastes words ;)

Thanks, Kim. With restraint these lines were held to only 8 syllables, but oh yes, sometimes I do ramble on.

Is this poetic therapy? I ask because fine lines with great rhyme are often a healthy way to let it out, humorous writes work, too. The poem delighted me ... CayCay

Writing is always cathartic for me, CayCay. Thanks so very much.
