Kim Rodrigues Poet Nonet

November the Third

What’d
I miss?
Clue me in!
Deer in headlights…
Asleep at the wheel.
By all means…after you.
Plain as the nose on your face.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust -
November the third  w a s  cliché day!

Joseph P. DiMino November 8, 2022 at 7:34 AM In deed...if it is just a date to people, a day we do something repeated the same every year...then that's all it is. A Cliche' world~ Kim Rodrigues November 8, 2022 at 10:03 AM A world of clichés is not a poet’s playground ;) but this nonette wanted what it wanted

Victor Buhagiar November 7, 2022 at 11:27 PM Wonder what happened on 3 November. I'm not good at dates. Hugs. Kim Rodrigues November 8, 2022 at 7:22 AM Oh there is the crazy list where every day has something. Examples: Bagel Day, Friendship Day, etc..

What?!) ~ gw Kim Rodrigues November 8, 2022 at 7:24 AM And a trail of clichés from your unrolled tongue. Remember dress to impress…yeah yeah, more awake..what excuse do I have for rambling now lol
