Bow To the Queen

This poem belongs to me I'm the Queen of poetry With my pen poised in the air I scribe words that can compare With any poet How do I know it? I show it, I sit here with pen in hand No other poet felt so grand As me When I write poetry My punctuation is up the creek, But people still listen when I speak It doesn't matter what I write As long as it's not full of trite How can that be When the poet is me. I do not bother with big words, As long as the words are heard That's good Anyway my vocabulary It is limited, as you can see We all have limitations And assorted imaginations. I am pleased to say That poetry is better that way, How boring (YAWN) that would be Especially one grand as me If we all wrote the same Shame Shame, Shame indeed All poets write to fill a need For everyone who reads Poetry Of any kind I have put my pen down, And next to it, I've placed my crown, My family are calling me Where are you, Mum? We're hungry!

As long as you are wearing the crown, you might as well 'take the cake' as well. Enjoyable romp, this one, Shirley!

Thank you, Gershon. I enjoyed writing this. It came out of the blue, Royal Blue, of course. I hope you and your family are having a pleasant weekend. Take care, Queenie

A queen of poetry. You deserve it. Sometimes writing in simple mode is eloquent. But in the end hunger takes first place.

Thank you, Victor It was fun to write, and I hope fun to read. As you tell Victor, I had to abolish the crown and put my pinny on to cook dinner. Lol! I hope you are well and enjoying your day. Take care, Shirley
