Hannah Borke Poet Rhyme

Tire Attire Preposition Poem

Ode to my crocs -- BALD from high wear,
In serious need of good-riddance
During my TREAD on a wet floor with care 
In the throws of a SKID and imBALANCE
By the absence of any TRACTION
Between the floor and the sole of my croc
In need of replacement action
for my crocs on the croc-chopping block
Up from the floor no worse for the wear
Through all the sales in the fliers
At the store with the Croc footwear
Back home with the new set of TIRES

Mike Hauser November 4, 2018 at 6:49 PM Love this! I've written 2 or 3 Croc poems myself... It's all I wear! Hannah Borke November 4, 2018 at 11:53 PM That's right. We had exchanged croc poems. I deleted my long poem because I couldn't improve it. In any case, I read poems much more than I write them, so you don't need to bother to return comments. I read all your poems because they're more witty than silly.

Silent One October 18, 2017 at 2:04 PM WEll written poem, I do like your use of language... Hannah Borke October 18, 2017 at 3:11 PM Its simplicity belies how hard I strained for this result.

Faraz Ajmal August 15, 2017 at 11:25 AM Well a really nice written poem, I really enjoyed reading it and the rhyme in your poem was really nice, Hannah Borke August 15, 2017 at 11:34 AM Thanks

Andrea Dietrich August 7, 2017 at 5:41 PM super super clever, Hannah. And I wanted to see your first post and thank you for your lovely comment on my poem. Hannah Borke August 7, 2017 at 5:54 PM Thanks, talented poet, for reading my poem.

Lim'Rik Flats July 20, 2017 at 7:18 PM Don't know much about the preposition proposition, but the tire attire strikes me as delightfully silly and wonderful. About Crocs — I'm mad at 'em! The first pair of flips I bought were the best thing I ever wore on my feet (except toenails). When they wore out I went to buy another pair and, of course, they'd redesigned them. I'd give my new ones to anyone who'd want 'em. Back to your poem — I like it! Now 'scuse please, I gotta go walk the dog while wearing New Balance flip flops! :-( Lim'Rik Flats July 20, 2017 at 7:48 PM Well then, I prepose that ya done good! Hannah Borke July 20, 2017 at 7:37 PM Explaining the preposition aspect.... I took a grammar course that included an activity to write a poem, starting the lines with prepositions. It was a strain to manipulate the words, but this was the result.

Edward Mccall July 17, 2017 at 9:55 AM this is such a cool rhyme Hannah I like it. Hannah Borke July 17, 2017 at 10:28 AM It was inspired by my gratefulness to G-d for crocs.

Daniel Turner June 15, 2017 at 4:19 PM Always late to the party but thought I'd do a drive by and see what all the commotion was about. This is very clever and also extremely witty, Hannah. Nicely penned! Hannah Borke June 15, 2017 at 5:04 PM Thanks for your attention to ALL my poems! I'm proud of my poems, but if my page stagnates, it will be for dearth of ideas. (No need to waste a follow on me)

Old Man Emu April 27, 2017 at 5:32 PM Hi Hannah, enjoyed your poem. Love the title too very apt. Look forward to reading some more. Regards, Craig

Chris Green April 27, 2017 at 3:25 PM That was very cool Hannah. I have a pair of Crocs but I just never could get use to wearing them but....I also have a pair of croc flip flops that are my favorites and I haven't found any others the fit and feel as good as these. Nice and yes, this was quite different in form and theme. Nicely done. Hannah Borke April 27, 2017 at 3:48 PM Thanks! My first compliment ever! I won't be getting many more due to zero creativity. At best, I could rhyme a true incident which that was. This was produced as a result a free online grammar course that challenged us to write a preposition poem -- the reason it's so different. As to Crocs, if it's the bumps by the heel that's bothersome, I take a 'pointed' pliers to the new ones and pull me out one at a time. Chris Green April 27, 2017 at 3:42 PM That's funny. I might just give that a try. And don't sell yourself short about your poetry. Just keep trying if that is what you want to do. We all started somewhere. You will do just fine.
