Randomling Doorways

Doors one

My thoughts wander
moving from one door to the next
I try my best
Desperately wanting 
to make my escape

Doors two

When I opened my door
you were the last person
I mean the very last person 
I expected to see
Please take your foot out of my door
we have nothing to talk about

Doors Three

I have studied for years
the art of making a deal
many hours in front of a screen
"I'll take what's behind door number two!"
ZONK..................so sad :0(


For Mary Oliver Rotman's Randomling contest.
I hope I got the form right. Either way I had fun.

Charlotte Puddifoot Date: 8/29/2015 3:46:00 PM the title of this one intrigued me; i like poems like this that give different angles on a single subject; the form is an interesting one, but i haven't heard of it before...thanks for your comment on my walkabout poem, it pleased me because i was aiming for an hallucinatory feel Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/29/2015 5:20:00 PM You succeeded! I read it to my wife, it was very impactful.

Tim Smith Date: 8/17/2015 8:34:00 AM I like these little snipits Richard Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/17/2015 2:48:00 PM Thanks Tim, I thought I would give it a go.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/16/2015 10:47:00 AM Richard, your guess is as good as mine on how to do the contest. I have an idea (I think anything under 7 lines or so is good, just so it's not a limerick) I am just confused by what topics she might prefer and whether she wants all one topic or not. I have mine ready to post, eventually. Mine are rhyming types. I think it does not matter and i hope we can do a mixture of forms. I guess we will all find out when she judges.
