Carolyn Devonshire Poet Couplet

Six-Word Couplet Series Encore

Comfortable Walking Shoes
Tattered, dusty soles
Complete with holes

Brisk Weather
Summer heat adjourns
Autumn wind churns

Beware Flying Objects
Acorn hits head
(Better than lead!)

Washed Out Trail
Moist air foggy
Makes ground soggy

Watch Your Step 
Trip on stump
Foot sports lump

Evening Falls
Better hustle home
Lose map? Roam

Dinner Bell Rings
Follow that sound
Find home ground

Jennifer Proxenos October 13, 2018 at 4:55 AM What a beautiful string of couplets Carolyn, I so loved this poem, and could visualize the hazards hikers come across so vividly penned by you! xoxo Jennifer Carolyn Devonshire October 14, 2018 at 10:40 AM Thank you, Jennifer. I just read and was very moved by your poem about animals fleeing a wildfire. Nice work.

Connie Marcum Wong October 10, 2018 at 11:47 PM Wow Carolyn, these are excellent! I couldn't come up with any. I know these will do well! : ) Carolyn Devonshire October 11, 2018 at 12:24 PM LOL These are easy to write, Hon, and it's fun to try a different light form once in a while. Thanks for reading.

Vladislav Raven October 10, 2018 at 6:25 PM Hi Carolyn, a group of wonderful, fun couplets you put before us. Each one strong on its own, even stronger when placed in a group. Always enjoy having a smile and a giggle. Wishing you the best of luck in the contest. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX Carolyn Devonshire October 11, 2018 at 12:28 PM Thank you, Vladislav. I'll have to check out your work now.

Duke Beaufort October 10, 2018 at 5:38 PM Very cute and bringing a big smile to my generally serious disposition. I love to laugh. Thanks for this.

James Horn October 10, 2018 at 9:54 AM Love them all, tall and small; Had been married; Child she carried; Will not fall, And did appall; In need dire; Joined the choir; With God perch; Went to church; And better yet, Never forget. Haille also has the South Carolina State symbol in her necklace. Carolyn Devonshire October 10, 2018 at 11:59 AM I had the spelling wrong - it's Haley. She says she will campaign for Pres. Trump in 2020, but that could change. And I enjoyed your couplets too! Thanks for the visit, James!

Winged Warrior October 10, 2018 at 8:50 AM Lovely set of couplets, Carolyn...ready for a win my friend...and take a hike, eh! lol...love & light...^WW^ Carolyn Devonshire October 14, 2018 at 10:38 AM Thank you, WW. Some of my friends are marveling at how quickly our graduating class is dying off now. I think Marianne's spirit has been offering comfort to all who mourn her. Winged Warrior October 11, 2018 at 6:01 PM ...I hear you Carolyn...I am so sorry my friend, I had no idea...may the Angels comfort you, and heal you...love & internal light...^WW^ Carolyn Devonshire October 10, 2018 at 12:21 PM Thanks, Hon. After my illness it was more than a month before I could write anything again. These couplets were easy, but I'm still mourning Marianne's death and it's very difficult for me to write anything meaningful.

Tom Cunningham October 10, 2018 at 8:32 AM Well written couplets Carolyn, good luck. Tom.

Chris Green October 10, 2018 at 7:59 AM These were fun Carolyn. I enjoyed each one of them, especially "Beware of flying objects" : ) Much luck in the contest Carolyn Devonshire October 10, 2018 at 8:02 AM This form is surprisingly easy to write, Chris. Had fun with this. Thanks for visiting, Carolyn
