What Shall I Pen

8/29/2023

 Ah~ write  couplets, and no, nothing more.

 Then~ prance smugly out my front door?

 No, no, I just cannot do simply that!

  Will  be crazed as a hatter, who lost his hat!

Hi Pangie, Couplets may be small but they can say so much. xx

Yes they are nice and easy and prevent me from expanding further into more challenging forms, “Easy” will never make me a great poet. Sttuck in that place, it upsets me that I cannot move on. Frustrating! I expect far more of myself. This message was updated 10am.Saturday Pangie

Ah Pangie! I feel your pain. There are days when the words and ideas flow but mostly it is a struggle to come up with something to write about. It can be frustrating but sometimes writing something silly and fun like this poem helps! Blessings, Kim M

Combining the title of this poem with yesterday's yields this: 'What shall I pen, poetic rainbow friend?' Lovely, isn't it?! Keep smiling, P!

No, do not do that my friend. "Crazed as a hatter is no way to be. Leave that behind, and fast race to us flee. We await with smiles and our open hands. Over here we lounge in poetic lands. Please pen the true-cast way you always do. We need more beautiful souls like you." Great couplets my good friend. God bless,..

I think I am getting burnt out, dear Robert. There are many new good poets you can read. I once felt I mattered to some, they are gonesville. I know I have five readers at most.and I want them to know I am so grateful, they read me. I feel like a car out of gas)) Please bear with me! Panagiota xx
