Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Words Don'T Come Easy

We’ve been asked to pen one hundred words
Perhaps I’ll write about butterflies and birds
I must not write  a poem about floating turds
as words such as turds are used by nerds!
 
The bright sun shines, this idea is much better
and when it rains my garden gets wetter
When it’s cold I should wear a sweater
and I should stay indoors and write a letter
 
To ensure that I’ve got the correct amount
It would be wise to check on my word count
With every line the word count will mount
To write one hundred words is paramount!

Michelle Faulkner October 4, 2019 at 3:51 PM This was a fun read, and not an easy challenge to do, (it reminds me of being in high school and having to turn in reports and essays of a required amount of words - I just used 'very' a lot!)

Lindsay Laurie September 28, 2019 at 10:58 PM G'day Jan … writing a verse with exactly one hundred words a real challenge, possibly harder than when at school writing one hundred lines with all starting; I must not etc. - thank you Jan - Lindsay
