P-C Poems 23 and 24

                           Poetry Challenge poem Number 23
                           ======================

                           
                              I almost wish I had declined

                          This challenge which I am inclined

                              To finish now that I accepted

                            It's harder than I had expected

                             But sweetheart had presented

                             This challenge now lamented

                         But he loves me, and thus to show it

                          A nudge to help this dry spelled poet


                                     P.C. Poem #24
                                     =========

                          Always a pen was in my hand

                            Poetic books ever so grand

                          Fill bookcases and little nooks

                       I love the masters, and their books

                              Dickenson and Stevenson

                             With a lot of rhyme reason

                         Poe with chilling words that haunt

                       With "Nevermore!" the Raven's taunt

                     Those words have haunted me at night

                        Where is my Muse?? I cannot write!

                       The haunting words of "Nevermore"

               Echoing through chambers, behind closing doors

                       But then my dear became the muse

                        "Accept challenge? Or else refuse."

                            So here I sit and type away

                          Another poem for the third day

Victor Buhagiar December 31, 2024 at 10:42 AM I do not think this is a contest. It's more like a challenge. I loved this extract and wish you a happy New Year.
