Dean Wood Poet Light Verse

Stuck In Reverse

I haven’t time to spin this verse 
I guess I’ll write this in reverse
The gears got stuck, now I’m in trouble
The lever’s jammed, the clutch is rubble
I can’t go forward, not one inch
I’m done-for now, I’m in a pinch
The shifter’s wedged in “R” (for race)
My gears are strewn about the place
I must write backwards; What a Curse!
I haven’t time to spin this verse

Jesse Rowe September 9, 2018 at 4:43 PM Dean, congratulations on your 2nd place finish in my contest. I loved your wry take on the contest and your poem had a superb flow and meaning. Dean Wood September 11, 2018 at 9:48 AM Thank you Jesse for hosting and judging this fun contest. I hope I didn't offend with my wry take on your theme, that's just what hit me at the time. Regards, Dean

Wendy Watson September 9, 2018 at 4:07 PM Very well done, Dean for not only attempting such a challenge ( unlike this wimp!) but also producing such a fun spin in the process! Dean Wood September 11, 2018 at 9:46 AM Thank you so much Wendy. This really was a challenge for me. Kind of fun though!

Andrea Dietrich September 5, 2018 at 1:42 AM Excellent, Dean. Like me, you did ten lines couplet form. I love how it reads just as great forward or backward. Dean Wood September 5, 2018 at 12:34 PM Thanks Andrea. This was a bit of a challenge but was a lot of fun.
