Why do I write poetry?
I am sure some people here wonder just why I do!
For my poems were once described as ‘simple’
And to others they are a pile of old pooh
I have learned so much since I started writing
Now I am flying as free as a bird
Despite the ups and downs in my recent life
My poetic ‘voice’ will still be heard
I started writing just two years ago
Now I realise it was a form of stress relief
Since joining soup I’m like a kid in a candy store
A ‘pick n mix’ of poetry - I want to learn more and more
I’ve discovered so many new styles, which one do I chose
Limericks, haiku, rhyme, sonnets
Fabulous fun footles
Alliteration, Abecedarian
Nonets, cinquain, couplets, to name just a few
I can’t believe there are so many forms me to dip into
Many poems have been written to express my emotions
Some works are happy and some are extremely sad
I have a vivid imagination so fiction writes flow from my pen
I might throw a twist in the ending every now and then
Lots are factual poems of things that have really happened to me
An example of this is my run in with that pudding made of sticky toffee!
I endeavour to try and entertain and amuse
But some writes are penned with anger and frustration …
When I’m about to blow a fuse!
I relish the challenges set by the sponsors
I’m more confident and spreading my wings
I love the site of which I am a member
To students at school the site’s praises I loudly sing
But I don’t like the current undercurrent of bad feeling
Now its no names on the poems you’ll see
I’ve never liked names on the contests
But others will strongly disagree
Let sponsors judge the way they feel
We ALL get high or low placements, but let's not make a big deal
The most important thing is that my poems get read
(But of course I like winning, I’m such a bighead) (joke)
Some say my poems are simple
Others may think they are a load of poop
But let me SHOUT this loud and clear
I won’t be leaving poetry soup!

Do footles ever fournicate?
From two come more, and soon there’s eight
The image conjured up ain’t great
Them spondees, trochees on a date
Gosh, aren’t they cute? They’re all the rage
right there in strands across the page
Cuz less is more, and I’m a sage
The tribble's I don’t act my age
Or have you ever metaphor?
I’ve met a ten, but ’twas before
My wife - we don’t use scales no more
a weighty matter, out the door!
Why's it folks don’t discuss meter?
You mention length, the convo peters…
‘Was thinking more 'bout counting sheep
And not how long the missus keeps
The high regard for iambs, odd
The way they sound, you’d think they’re god
And what about the punks you ate?
My colon’s bad; I still dash great.
And then there is the Bard’s blank verse
I think they’re hiding something worse
Like sometimes how, here at the Soup
They filter words worse than Jan’s poop.
I’d best not rant on dactyl feet;
For now I think my work’s complete
Y’all come back, we'll spin a yarn
I'm ratcheer at the Poem Barn

****** ******************************************************
This footle is different from my other posts but based on a true story
I went to the dentist last year and she said I needed two fillings but on one tooth she then
said the
hole was too deep to fill and would have to be taken out, I panicked and said no I dont
think so as i was scared at that time as my mother pulled some loose teeth when I was little
with a towel, , I went for prayer at church afterwards. I found a new dentist and when I
explained what happened he looked at my tooth and said their is no hole, he took an x ray
and still no hole, it was gone, I did not need a filling in the first place, that other dentist was
willing to take it out for the sake of it, but God was still looking after me, I took a step of faith
to step out and go to a new dentist and God did the rest, it is amazing what he can do, we
can move mountains even if our faith is as small as a mustard seed. if we trust God and
believe he can sort out any problem either big or small , he heals us I am no longer scared
of dentists and I still have all my teeth not a single one missing, , Amen
