Daniel Turner Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Blue Daisy

Up with the sun, put coffee to brew
Inside my mouth, some sticky night goo
Standing in housecoat with fuzzy house shoes
Starting my day, as always I do

Down with a cup, feeling like new
Stepped onto my porch, that first morning view
Something was odd, some weird bugaboo
There must have been paint in the heavy night dew

Next to my house, by my wandering jew
My once yellow daisies had all turned light blue
Even my houseplants, my once green bamboo
Was now a blue green of the ugliest hue

So I cut them all down, in a rage I flew
Hacking and chopping, like I'd lost a screw
Roses and hostas and yes, daisies too
But I saved a bouquet, Here! These are for you.

All I know is a cup of hot coffee makes it all go away:) Thank you, Charlie. Come to think of it, it may be this damn poli-grip.

Freddie Robinson Jr. June 21, 2017 at 10:24 AM What a riot this poem is, Daniel. I couldn't stop chuckling throughout. And give your girl some bad looking flowers, nice avant-garde romantic gesture. Cool and really funny poem. Love and peace. Daniel Turner June 21, 2017 at 1:27 PM I thought those ugly flowers were a nice touch. Lol To be honest, Freddie, I figure if I'm laughing while I'm writing it, it must be at least sorta funny:) I just hope it makes Rose laugh. I'm glad you had a chuckle. I did too. Lol Thank you so much for your kindness:)

Chris Green June 21, 2017 at 7:03 AM That was funny...the ending was unexpected but perfectly executed. (No pun intended) Daniel Turner June 21, 2017 at 7:18 AM lol One taken:) Thanks, Chris. Hope you're having a good day:)

Andrea Dietrich June 21, 2017 at 12:30 AM Oh DAnny, I love the originality here!! It ended up being humorous and ended on the cutest note (I left a message for you on MY blue daisy poem) Andrea Dietrich June 23, 2017 at 8:30 PM some men do come close!! (I had a few girlfriends who had guys that came very close!! Girls talk and we know!!) Daniel Turner June 21, 2017 at 7:15 AM Thank you, Andrea:) Even if it doesn't win, I know Rose will get a laugh. That's reward enough for me. There's no such thing as the perfect man.

Connie Marcum Wong June 20, 2017 at 9:15 PM I enjoyed this humorous poem Daniel monorhyme's sound forced quite often unless they're cleverly composed. This one is exceptional and delightful as well ! : ) Daniel Turner June 20, 2017 at 9:18 PM Thank you, Mrs Connie. I hope it made you laugh:)
