Michelle Faulkner Poet Verse

Ocie

Outspoken mom to eight
Ornery little boys
Omelets for dinner
Only drank rye whiskey
Orchids, her private love~
Old letters in the hand
Of my great grandmother.

Gershon Wolf April 5, 2021 at 5:21 PM I'd say that 'Ocie' is an 'Acie!' G.L. in the contest, Michelle! Joy, Gershon

Alexis Y. April 5, 2021 at 2:57 PM Hi Michelle, You did a great job with the contest challenge. You composed a good poem with “O”s. It has a nice rhythm and flow as well. Is this a true story about your great-grandmother? Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis Michelle Faulkner April 5, 2021 at 3:00 PM Yes, it's mostly true - had to get a little creative for the contest, but she had 8 boys, she was my father's father's mother - I was very young when she passed but she was quite a spunky lady, I am told~
