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. June 20 2017 by Daniel Turner

Funny stuff DT, I just have one question, what's sticky night goo?

Daniel Turner
Date: 6/21/2017 5:21:00 PM

If I knew what it was, I wouldn't have it. 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.

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
Date: 6/21/2017 1:27:00 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:)

What's not to like about this poem? Nothing! A nice touch of humour, ending in a romantic gesture! And all in monorhyme! Really well done mate!

Daniel Turner

Thank you, WW. I wish you were judging:) I appreciate your kindness, my friend.

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)

some men do come close!! (I had a few girlfriends who had guys that came very close!! Girls talk and we know!!)

Daniel Turner
Date: 6/21/2017 7:15:00 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.

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 ! : )
