Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Something New

Something New

Have you longed for something new
like ketchup on your crackers
To hang out till the break of dawn
with multiple kick backers

A peanut for a new best friend
unless you are allergic
A submarine in your back yard
so easy to submerge it

A watermelon kitchen sink
with seeds to help the drainage
A brand new wash cloth made of fur
to softly clean the stainage

A pickup truck with tap shoe wheels
so down the road you’re clicking
A new comb for your head of hair
with grease for easy slicking

To stick your neck out really far
like you have been giraffe-ing 
Have you longed for something new
like this that leaves you laughing

CayCay Godwin October 16, 2018 at 10:02 AM Your something different was a delightful frolic through your imagination for me. Heaven knows I live in my imagination so being a fly on the wall of yours was one great time. You've got all the contest ingredients, now the rest is up to things invisible. Great job. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Chris Green October 16, 2018 at 10:25 AM Thanks so much CayCay. It was a fun but hard poem to write. I am glad you enjoyed taking a stroll through my imagination

Good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx Jan Allison October 15, 2018 at 3:57 PM I am still writing my poem but find it hard to deviate from proper rhyme I struggle not to use exact rhyme lol:-) hugs jan xx Chris Green October 15, 2018 at 1:41 PM Thanks Jan. This was a hard one for me because Nina asked for "at least THREE fabulous boundary-pushing rhymes." I don't really do "boundary pushing rhymes" too often but I gave it a try. : )
