String of Footles

New year Big cheer. Low gear Snows here. Wind blew Leaves flew. Team scored Crowd roared. Sun tan Bronzed man. Warm sun Beach fun. Beach walk Gulls squawk. Bright bling Gold ring. Place bet Roulette. Bells ring Wedding. Trains late Irate. Won race. First place. Birds fly Sky high. Flat tire My ire. Written on 20th January 2025

Thank you very much Andrea, Yes I did, had a second placement in Brian's contest. They're fun to write but very addictive once you start composing them. Hope your week is off to a good start. Tom

Hi and Hi and Good to See You. I hope you have been, done and experienced only good since last I was here, -- 3 years ago ... hmm, 3 years is too long to have only good happen, but my sentiment remains. Restrictive poem forms can be quite a fun challenges, I hope you enjoyed the crafting all the way to completion. Hugs ... CayCay Hugs ... CayCay

A Great set of analogies (for lack of a better word) Tom - it sounds very much like the type of metaphorical lingo used here in Australia. They put a smile on my face. BTW, I've been looking out for you on YouTube, you haven't been posting for a while. Hugs Maria

Dear Tom, I just loved how your footles are a lively string of moments, each tiny gem packed with wit and rhythm. From cheers to ire, you’ve captured life’s fleeting snapshots with charm and humor. I truly loved the playful cadence wich lingers like a melody. Delightful and Clever! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Dear tom, i love this! And i think for a person like you that can rhyme so well and so effortlessly this would have been so easy to do! I once did a footle and it was fun to do, and yours just is so creative and unique and i love the last rhyme the most! I can see from the comments below that you won brians contest with this take using his brilliant creation! Its so good to see you write and post! Hope to read more! And hope weather is nice there. Sending you light always. Congratulations
