Tom Our Poet

Tom writes from A acrostic to V villanelle

o what a story he can tell

moment to moment you are under his spell

 

 

"Couldn't sleep the night before my head was banging"

u said it all in "A funny thing happened on the way to my hanging"

never naughty with pen in hand

now here is our poet let's all stand

i admire his talent and his pen

now teach me how to write zen

going to write we will say amen

he fell in love with Footle poems again

a poet he kept them ongoing

my time is up-so Tom keep writing
