Jan Allison Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Holiday Monorhyme

Hip hip hooray, I’m on my holiday;
at our beach chalet; it’s called Castaway!
It is here I stay with my best friend Faye;
on soft sand we lay, I could tan all day!
Boats bob and sway, we watch them sail away 
I get soaked from sea spray down at the bay!

Andrea Dietrich April 28, 2017 at 8:12 PM oh gosh, I was thinking of doing AY rhyme but it only seems to lend itself to seaside rhymes and then I will like like I am imitating you. haha. That contest of his is filling up WAY too fast but good news for me. Joe is late tonight and I get to hurry and catch up here (poor guy. it's SNOWING in Wyoming and they shut down the freaking freeway!!) Jan Allison April 29, 2017 at 2:12 AM I wrote about 15 lines in my notebook at work on Thursday then played with the lines once I got home and managed to precis it down to the final poem. I'm still not entirely happy with the final line and will work on it if I have time:-) hugs Jan xx

Carole Duet April 27, 2017 at 9:18 PM Good one, Jan! I wish I were there! Great mono! Beautiful pic by the way.

White Wolf April 27, 2017 at 8:48 PM I really like this, Jan! Outstanding! If this doesn't win I'll go "HEY!!!" Good luck to you.

Phillip Garcia April 27, 2017 at 7:04 PM I momentarily forgot that you people call vacation "holiday". You did a superb job with this, Jan. I've been playing with one (a poem, don't be gross) and struggling with the internal rhyme. You managed it in a free flowing fashion that took us with you to the bay. Where was this poem when I was locked up??? :) Jan Allison April 27, 2017 at 7:36 PM Thanks for your lovely comment Phillip - I wrote the outline of the poem today at work. In total there were about 15 lines but I was just playing with the and rhyme and got to the end result which I am happy with ... I thought your mum sent you my poop poems when you were away!:-) hugs jan xx
