John Freeman Poet Monorhyme

"what They Say and Play"

As many mind games cloud the way

Every night and every day

People not meaning what they say

Theses be mind games humans play

Saying, "Eat drink and be gay!"

To abide golden rule is nay

Areas of minds in the grey

PERDITION piper shall require pay

Birth rights being sold away

Their serpents to and fro doth sway

As good of many hearts, they spay

Thus morality they do fray

All twists of mind’s rules, they okay

Be tares, not of Master’s__ bouquet!

Gerard Keogh Jr. June 2, 2010 at 3:55 PM Good job, John. I like the use of tares, that's a word that should see some more print. The serpents line is good. The bouquet rhyme at the end is excellent. How about " perdition's piper.." Just a suggestion. Thanks to you and regards, Gerard.

Carolyn Devonshire May 28, 2010 at 9:18 AM Darn! This poem should have appeared in the second-place rankings, John. I don't know why it came up as an honorable mention. I think it's very well written and has a powerful message! Love, Carolyn
