Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Carolyns Next Adventure

William Shakespeare ’pon a cloud
Awaits the new arrivals
Heaven needs some poetry
And sea fishing revivals
A blinding light and newbies came
And smiling, wandered in
And at the front the one he sought 
Said Hi, I’m Carolyn

He told her he was Willy
And he’d been here quite a while
He wants to write of fishing
Does she know the latest style
So share your fishing skill with me
Perchance we shall then see
If I can spare some time for us
To discuss poetry

Well Carolyn just grinned a bit
And told him ink your quill
I’ll tell you about fishing
And talk poetry we will
She said to Mr Shakespeare
’Let’s talk poems first,’ and so
She simply couldn’t help herself...
‘I’ll teach you all I know?’

He scratched the funny little beard
That sprouted from his chin
I think I’m gonna like you
I’m so glad they let you in
Recite for me your finest ode
Make heaven even brighter
She said I haven’t penned it yet...
Go get me a typewriter

Constance La France August 23, 2021 at 11:33 AM Terry, thank you for taking part in the Tributes To Carolyn, your poem is wonderful and delightful and I love it ~ Constance Terry Flood August 24, 2021 at 10:59 AM Thanks Constance, glad you enjoyed. Terry

Andrea Dietrich August 19, 2021 at 2:55 PM oh this is SO original and clever. Wow, I think you did a superb job having her be with the big Will!! Terry Flood August 20, 2021 at 11:30 AM Thanks, Andrea. I liked the notion that Carolyn would be writing away in her new world. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Christuraj Alex August 19, 2021 at 5:48 AM Recite for me your finest ode Make heaven even brighter She said I haven’t penned it yet... Go get me a typewriter Wonderful. Making tribute light and painless. Terry Flood August 19, 2021 at 11:47 AM Thanks, Christuraj, glad you enjoyed. Terry

Beata Agustin August 19, 2021 at 4:50 AM Thanks so much for sharing this, enabling me to know more intimately Carolyn (though I will surely miss her and her uplifting comments). God bless you. Terry Flood August 19, 2021 at 11:47 AM Thank you, Beata. Terry

Eve Roper August 18, 2021 at 6:26 PM She would tell Shakespeare she'd teaching him a word or two. Terry, congratulations on your win in Constance's Tribute. Hugs Eve Terry Flood August 19, 2021 at 11:49 AM Thanks, Eve. I had planned for Carolyn to say ‘I’m just getting started’ but the rhyme was proving troublesome. Terry

Jan Allison August 18, 2021 at 3:52 PM I think Carolyn would have loved this one Terry she had a great sense of humour:-)Many congrats on your win :-) hugs Jan xx Terry Flood August 19, 2021 at 11:52 AM Thanks, Jan. Like many on Soup, I can’t claim to have known Carolyn, but she made many generous comments on my poems and her comments always seemed genuine. Terry

Scott Thirtyseven August 5, 2021 at 3:49 PM a very nice read. I'm sure Carolyn would be more than pleased with your kind words. Terry Flood August 5, 2021 at 5:36 PM I hope she would, Scott. Carolyn made many kind comments on my poems and occasionally discussed - albeit briefly - her fishing stories. To claim that I knew her is stretching a point, but comments from those who did know Carolyn, demonstrate just what a genuine person she was. Terry

Tom Cunningham August 5, 2021 at 1:54 AM She would have loved this Terry, she's left a void on here for sure. Can't believe she's gone, I told her once next time I go to Florida I'd call and see her. Tom Terry Flood August 5, 2021 at 2:40 AM I know Florida is a big place, but my brother lives there... wonder if their paths ever crossed. Terry Flood August 5, 2021 at 2:37 AM I spent most of yesterday trying to word a sincere tribute to Carolyn, but almost everything was better said by those who knew her way better than I. When Andrea reminded me that Carolyn enjoyed a witty verse, I went in that direction. Had to write two versions, one for Carol-ine and one for Carol-in... went with the most likely. Terry
