Terry Flood Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

One of two poems written for a recent contest but not entered

Desert Dare

Sand, sand, everywhere
in my ears and in my hair
As I breathe this desert air
I’m growling like a grizzly bear

I need to slump into a chair
And get myself some nursing care
I even tried a little prayer
Which had a slight poetic air

I looked up but no Lord was there
Divine assistance proving rare
Just the Sun - a blinding glare
I’m burning for my skin is fair

And what is worse - I’m also bare
Because I acted on a dare
So may I ask you not to stare
Or you may get an awful scare

Christina Bowring December 19, 2023 at 1:09 PM So funny as always my talented, amusing friend. Never tire of reading your poetry that’s for sure. You have such a talented gift of humour like Deb says. Visiting your page is always one of the most enjoyable and rewarding. I’m now thinking that you should be on mainstream tv! You are more clever, entertaining and funny than a lot of so called comedians. Terry Flood December 19, 2023 at 2:53 PM Thanks so much for such a glowing comment. Blimey, I almost grew an ego! Seriously… I’m well flattered and grateful. Hmmm… am I only funnier than the ‘so called’ comedians? Ha ha… I get your gist and I thank you again ;-) Christina Bowring December 19, 2023 at 1:11 PM When can we expect you on Britain’s Got Talent - as you got it in bucket loads? Thank you for the smiles tonight. Have a wonderful Christmas my friend. Keep making us laugh:):)

Jerry Brotherton December 18, 2023 at 6:12 AM A humorous monorhyme. You always have me mesmerized and your surprise endings make me laugh until my side hurts. Terry Flood December 19, 2023 at 2:49 PM Thanks, Jerry, you say the nicest things. Carry on like that and I’ll need a bigger hat.

Paula Goldsmith December 17, 2023 at 7:00 AM Your "Desert Dare" is a creative/fun write. Thanks for the laugh. Stay our of the sun or you will get burned. Hahaha!!! Have a great day................... Terry Flood December 18, 2023 at 11:54 AM Thanks, Paula. I do burn very easily but i never wandered a desert in the nuddy… not even for a dare! Glad you enjoyed.

Tom Cunningham December 16, 2023 at 11:58 PM Lol, sounds like you were on a stag night. I remember once I fell asleep on a beach In Weymouth, could hardly walk back to the hotel. My legs were purple, never again, in the hot sun I'm now a covered from head to toe man. Terry Flood December 18, 2023 at 11:51 AM You could always use Marmite as sun screen… that's gotta be factor 5000 if you ask me.

Deb M December 16, 2023 at 3:15 PM Honestly my funny friend….l never know what the ending of your poems will be…..your last line one liners are always a wonderful surprise and never ever disappoint or fail to make me smile or laugh! Thankyou for gift of humour Terry! Debx Terry Flood December 16, 2023 at 3:21 PM Glad to give you a giggle, Deb… I thought that last line might appeal to you. Chuffed that it did ;-)
