Andrea Dietrich Poet Couplet

In a Pickle Am I

In a pickle am I. All is green.
It's like some kind of plant quarantine!

Yes, I feel like I’m hidden from view
and without a clue what I should do!

What a pickle I’m IN. It’s severe.
How the heck did I ever get here?

It’s not comfy to be in this pickle.
And now am I feeling a prickle?

I much would prefer to be tickled
than vinegar-smothered – so PICKLED.

Like a gherkin, it’s not even sweet
and a pickle I never would eat!

This is nasty – like some sour pill.
Oh, it’s bad. It’s a really BIG dill!

CayCay Godwin February 22, 2020 at 4:51 PM I think your pickle poem is precious and fun - truly a good time read. I got lucky but then I wrote THAT from my MEMORY (see Guy). (Also, Nina's blog for more info). You done good, my friend, and I'm so happy to have carved out some time to read FINALLY. Love, CayCay Andrea Dietrich February 22, 2020 at 6:43 PM glad you liked it, Caycay!

Mark Koplin February 22, 2020 at 8:18 AM I really like it. Good luck on the contest. Good job

Vijay Pandit February 21, 2020 at 6:58 AM You sure don't like them--a fun read, Andrea. Andrea Dietrich February 21, 2020 at 7:52 AM you are right. I despise them. So to actually be inside one would be horrible. What a weird expression it is to be in a pickle. No wonder it means something is bad!

Tom Cunningham February 20, 2020 at 11:56 PM This should pickle its way to the top of the jar. Good luck. Tom
