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

Sheri Fresonke Harper Date: 10/4/2019 9:14:00 PM 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. Login to Reply

Lawrence Sharp Date: 8/21/2019 12:20:00 AM Appropriately, this one is very playful, and also very witty. Good fun, Charlie. Login to Reply

Sunlite Wanter Date: 8/20/2019 9:56:00 AM That's really clever. Sounds like my "form" confusion. Login to Reply

Lindsay Laurie Date: 8/17/2019 8:11:00 PM 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 Login to Reply

CayCay Jennings Date: 8/17/2019 9:41:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Kurt Ravidas Date: 8/16/2019 12:25:00 PM It's a nice way to write a haibun, but you have written a verse. How come, Charles?) Login to Reply

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/14/2019 2:47:00 PM 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 Login to Reply
