Judy Konos Poet Rhyme

Jane Austen

Everyone knows who this famous lady is 
with her novels of romance for 200 years
but it wasn't until a soup contest I found
she also wrote poems though none were renown

Her novels we know take nations by storm
"Pride and Prejudice" "Persuasion" and "Emma"
"Sense and Sensibility" along with her notes
Jane Austen can always cause a dilemma

========================

When stretched out on one's bed by Jane Austen

(excerpt from Jane's poem)

Our own bodily pains 
Ev'ry faculty chains; 
We can feel on no subject besides. 
Tis in health and in ease 
We the power must seize 
For our friends and our souls to provide. 
 
Jane Austen

Julia Ward August 18, 2015 at 2:20 PM Okay... :)

Julia Ward August 18, 2015 at 2:08 PM You know, I had the inspiration for "Lifting Tram Rails in 1940" from a French photo on Facebook. Another in the set of photos is one of old Ford cars parked outside the Louvre. In those days they didn't mind spoiling the entrance to the palace! Judy Konos August 18, 2015 at 2:11 PM Thanks for your invite I received from FB...Trying to stay off of it except for VeeBdosa contact...but I do thank you...

Julia Ward August 18, 2015 at 1:46 PM Yes, I've entered with "Paths". Are you going to enter the contest choosing another poetess? There is still time. Julia, xx Judy Konos August 18, 2015 at 1:54 PM No Julia ...You and the others are poets...I am just here for the enjoyment. I commend you on knowing forms and working hard to make certain your poetry is correct. If there is a contest that requires little, I'll be there...and depend upon you to 'tell it like it is'. My favorite of yours is 'Lifting tram rails in 1940'

Julia Ward August 18, 2015 at 10:26 AM That's interesting about Jane Austen, and a good poem of yours too. Julia, xx Judy Konos August 18, 2015 at 1:32 PM Hope you get in the ongoing contest. Wish I could but Jane was born much too early....anyway...Cheers!

Andrea Dietrich August 16, 2015 at 8:23 PM that was great to learn she also wrote poems. I would have expected no less of her. I love her stories, Judy. Nice to see you today!! Hope all is well.
