Viv Wigley Poet I do not know?

No Rules- For Contest

For contest  'No rules' sponsored by Rob Carmack


                           Guilt without sex

This poem's neither Haiku nor Quatrain or Villanelle
It may rhyme or it may not like free verse, so what the hell
when hope is crushed with the sight of dark dawn rising
I turn and call in vain for sleep's embrace.

I pause

Since I am sometimes not too bright
and an answer is not yet in sight
if an apple a day
keeps the doctor away
then what can a pear do at night?

32nd of Julember 1851

Lindsay Laurie June 27, 2015 at 1:11 AM G'day Viv... your wit has me chuckling even when my footy teams losing - good luck - Lindsay Viv Wigley June 27, 2015 at 2:15 AM Just an excuse to use a picture of a blue footed Booby, Lindsay. Sorry to hear about your footy, you have my sympathy- Derby County threw away a dead-cert promotion opportunity last season, so I feel your pain. Regards, Viv

Richard Lamoureux June 25, 2015 at 7:18 AM I found this to be an interesting use of my time! Good luck in the contest. Viv Wigley June 25, 2015 at 10:42 AM I found this comment to be a most diplomatic comment on this verse . I was bemused by the recent blogs on contests, so submitted this as Judy pointed out, everyone should submit a poem that sucks. And this is mine. Apologies. Thanks for dropping by, Richard. Regards, viv

Joseph May June 24, 2015 at 3:40 PM Nicely penned...good luck in the contest Viv Wigley June 24, 2015 at 8:16 PM Strange submission, I know, but no rules are no rules. Or are they? Regards, Viv
