David Kavanagh Poet Monoku

Flying Blind Like the Dodo

on a shoestring diet only going around in circles ~ yo yo 

inside a huge tornado just somewhere over the rainbow ~ toto

happily oblivious on a corkscrew rollercoaster ~ ho ho

somersaulting off the high board heading for a bellyflop ~ no no

paratroopers landing awkwardly behind enemy lines ~ go go

highly intelligent beings orbit the densest planet ~ so so

Hope you are well my friend hugs and blessings Jennifer David Kavanagh January 29, 2022 at 2:45 PM We all need a little time off Jennifer to recharge our batteries, I’ve a few poems on the go I’m struggling to finish, sometimes a few monokus, helps me refocus, I always look forward to reading your new poems, never know what to expect which is great, cheers David

Tom Cunningham January 27, 2022 at 8:46 AM Great string of monokus David, which planet were you referring to lol. Tom Tom Cunningham January 27, 2022 at 2:05 PM Lol, I thought as much David Kavanagh January 27, 2022 at 9:03 AM Well a big clue is paradoxically the densest most intelligent one in the solar system, turns out to be the third rock from the sun, lol, cheers David

Kim Rodrigues January 27, 2022 at 7:36 AM David, these monokus are so so…great! David Kavanagh January 27, 2022 at 8:30 AM Thank you Kim I started with one idea about the yo yo and then somehow it honestly spiralled from there, cheers David
