Paul Callus Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Don'T Blame the Quiche Lorraine

Sleep I can’t feign. I hear the falling rain
tapping a refrain on the window pane.
My throbbing pain recedes and I obtain
relief from the migraine which had free reign
like a freight train, a cause for mental strain.
Drat the champagne! Don’t blame the quiche Lorraine.

Susan Ashley January 15, 2018 at 10:43 PM Paul, I so enjoyed your monorhyme within a monorhyme depicting the down side of living it up :) An enchanting poem with beautiful flow and a belated congrats on this fine piece.. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan Paul Callus January 19, 2018 at 10:35 AM Sorry to hear of Julie's ordeal, Susan. If not mistaken, mitochondrial disease effects body organs and loss of energy; I will look it up after I send this off. I will keep you both in my thoughts & prayers. I too have not been very active on PS; mostly the fault of my computer and poor internet reception. Accessing Soup has been a nightmare! Warm regards // paul Susan Ashley January 16, 2018 at 12:51 PM Hi my dear friend Paul! My lovely daughter, Julie has been hospitalized since Saturday for complications from her mitochondrial disease... so my time on PS has been limited and my muse has been on hold as well... I hope all is well with you my wonderful friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Paul Callus January 16, 2018 at 12:09 PM Thank you, Susan. Glad you enjoyed this 'double' monorhyme. Still looking out for a new post from you:) ~ Warm regards // paul
