Mike Dailey Poet Rhyme

No Clue Et Cetera

No Clue Et Cetera

You know I haven’t got a clue
When it comes to pleasing you
You challenge me to write a poem
In hopes of first place to bring home

You know at first I did it wrong
Skipped two words that did belong
But now I think I'm back on track
It's not for trying that I lack
I haven’t got a clue where this poem is going
When I’m typing some words and seeing what’s showing
Comes to what you have in mind
Pleasing you in rhythm and rhyme
You see I have some words inside
Challenge me and I decide
To write in some ungodly form
A poem that is outside my norm
In hopes that you’ll take pity
Of first this humble ditty
Place this poem high in your ranking
To bring home my eternal thanking

Ilene Bauer March 4, 2012 at 5:35 PM perhaps this didn't quite follow the rules of the contest, but i liked it nonetheless!

Debbie Guzzi March 4, 2012 at 12:36 PM ..you must use the words fron your 1st 4 lines in the ORDER they appear. BUT it doesn't matter WHERE they come in the lines for your next verse. [[YOU KNOW needs to be used BEFORE you use ..I haven't got a clue] ex: I will write a tome for you [YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T] done that before [a clue] I'll give to you [WHEN IT ] pleases I'll ask the score...work some more on it please do! Light & Love

Debbie Guzzi March 4, 2012 at 12:35 PM You must put [you] or [you know] or [you know I] in the first sentence of your second verse..you could use the WHOLE SENTENCE and add on ex: You know I haven’t got a clue of how to write on cue! [all I did was add the last 2 words [on cue]When it comes to pleasing you [who knew?]
