Seren Roberts Poet Couplet

No Lipstick On This Trip - Contest

Here I sit all alone
On an island I will call home
For the next ten years or more
How , why, what is the score

I have my trusty tool
A Swiss Army knife is nobody’s fool
A waterproofed  large awning
Giving me shelter dusk to morning

From sun and rain alike
That the second of my likes
My third I had to peruse
So many things I could choose

The bible brought itself to the fore
Has so many stories, I had read before            
Nothing else can I choose
These three items I peruse

My knife with its many blades
Though horses hooves are in the shade
The awning I can wrap around
Or pin it out on the ground 

My choices three I hold in awe
Damn forgot a lipstick wish there were four

Kim Van Breda October 8, 2013 at 9:10 AM Wonderful depiction of any girls worst nightmare :) I always wondered what I would chose if I had to for a desert Island.

Mustapha Mohammed October 6, 2013 at 8:40 PM Good poem my friend. : ) Seren Roberts October 8, 2013 at 7:57 AM Mustapha nice to see you ..Seren

Russell Sivey October 6, 2013 at 7:09 AM Ha ha, too bad you could not pick that fourth one my friend! You could have impressed upon those natives on the island with your lipstick! I like how you chose the awning, that is a great idea. I thought though you might have chosen flint and steel to start those difficult fires that you will need, but what would you give up? I really loved reading this enlightening poem this morning! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!! Seren Roberts October 8, 2013 at 7:58 AM flint and Steel would have been 2 i will use the sun and a stick, what's the rush i have plenty of time....Seren
