Ding Dong

I was going to write a sonnet... But the words I speld were rawng So instead I wrote a haiku But my syllables were too long So I decided to write a lyric... And sing myself a song But I forgot the words while singing it So I ended it...dingdong Invitation To Play Poetry Contest Sponsored by Sheri Fresonke Harper 8-14-2019

Charles, congratulations on your Honorable Mention Win in the Invitation to Play contest. I enjoyed the brief play with the different poetry poems and the return to the title at the end, very witty. There were so many good poems that it got down to a just thanks standoff.

Appropriately, this one is very playful, and also very witty. Good fun, Charlie.

That's really clever. Sounds like my "form" confusion.

G'day Charles … sometimes it all appears to be too hard, but going around singing 'dingdong' should gain you plenty of attention - thanks Mate - Lindsay

So, for clarities sake: there are no chocolate dingdongs to be had on this page; the misspelling is deliberate on 2nd line and you have upbeat, irrelevant moods (I love irrelevant) that are capable of benefitting my fun quota? All true, right? So very glad that this poem my grin had. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

It's a nice way to write a haibun, but you have written a verse. How come, Charles?)

This one rings the bell for me, Charlie. Instant FAVE. Hope it's a big wiener (oops) for you in the contest! LOL. ~ Gershon

Haha when I joined soup I didn't know one end of a poem to the other. Some kind poets would email me saying you might want to check your syllable count lol. But I'm still learning. Good luck. Tom
