Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rondeau Redouble

In a Story Book

In a story book, I got stuck
and couldn’t find a way to break free. 
What a lousy day, just my luck!
Wondered why this happened to ME!

I looked for little Alice, she 
wouldn't show me her window – dumbstruck!	
Jack Horner, he could not believe
in a story book, I got stuck.

I looked all around and snuck 
a brief word with the fairies three.
They tried to raise a pumpkin truck 
and couldn’t find a way to break free.

With all my might and self-esprit
I began to huff, puff, and cluck. 
What could I do stuck on page three?
What a lousy day, just my luck!

What a mess was this stinking muck.
Aha! I’d find Humpty Dumpty!
He was cracked, but not a schmuck.
Wondered why this happened to ME!

Humpty cheered when hearing my plea
He was looking to gain a buck.
No wallet, we two couldn’t agree,
so I am still running amuck
	in a story book.

Victor Buhagiar March 23, 2023 at 10:35 AM Good to try new forms of poetry. Linda Alice Fowler March 23, 2023 at 11:16 AM Yes, some come out better than others. I hope you are well today Victor. :)

Daniel Turner March 23, 2023 at 8:48 AM Your imagination was working overtime on this one, Linda. A fun read:) Linda Alice Fowler March 23, 2023 at 8:58 AM LOL. I wrote a couple of them and decided the others were too dark and heavy. I like laughter and fun. You know, keep 'em guessing, leave 'em laughing...
