CayCay Godwin Poet Light Verse

Segovia and Or Madrid

I vacationed in Segovia
and also spent downtime in Madrid
but which is why matters not where
for I forgot what I there did.

My days spent in Segovia
and in Madrid were solo
though I cannot prove that truth
for I took not one single photo.

I know that times in Segovia
and Madrid combined were expensive,
especially my time spent in jail
cause one city nailed me "offensive."

So be it Segovia or Madrid -
a utopia or dystopia grid -
I'm a rude nuisance who's crude presence
both cities united to forbid.

Eric Ashford August 23, 2019 at 8:19 AM LOL this is rather good...like the quirky segues at the end. I've spent some 'down-time' in Madrid also, but alas I cannot boast of jail time there!

Gershon Wolf July 28, 2019 at 2:51 PM Ha, ha! Delightful contrarian write, CayCay! Just what the doctor ordered, for me at least. Just love the sassy tone! Best of luck in the contest with this unique entry. :) gw CayCay Godwin July 28, 2019 at 9:36 PM You bless me always, but extra so today because you taught me the word 'contrarian' and I LOVE it. I speak fluent contrary, if you will, and also dig into contrary writes so now I have a new word to use with my comments. May my memory recall this blessing and that is in no way a contrarian comment. Oh, such fun using that word! ... CayCay

Andrea Dietrich July 28, 2019 at 2:24 PM haha, I am doubting that you ever went to those two cities, but I can tell you I did!! I love what you did with the subject. This is one contest I cannot even enter, but I sure hope it is a success for you, sweet friend.

Sandra Adams July 28, 2019 at 10:30 AM I very much so enjoyed reading your creative write on the theme...perhaps the mugshot would be proof of your time spent there...lol such a fun poem :) hugs

Richard Lamoureux July 28, 2019 at 12:16 AM A fun one, some of my best memories are probably the ones I can’t remember.
