antique wood old as the country
Paid in freedom, liberty redeems
Size matters depth of character
Seen in your sole....

submitted a long poem on line, but

there are a couple of charming ladies
who probably both think I am a tad crazy
but I'm probably hypo
when I type a typo
or could be that my eyesight is a tad hazy

My thanks to you both, C. and J. hugs Mick...

An unsightful eyeful 
a typo in the title 
missed when published 
notably rubbish 

the best poem ever 
appears so unclever 

I'm and not I 
I'm not know why
I'm did not know-tice 
though I'm wrote the rhyme 

Surely I didn't 
but maybe I did 
posting such rubbish 
I'did I'am I'is stupid...

... did you call me queer?

Know dear... it was a beer,
Corona starburst but first,
I offer to replace the fear.
Peer to peer is a reed indeed
And the typo said sew seeds...
Pass the DoSee on the left and slide
Past in the mist is the midnight glide
Playing with the Piper, is a mighty
Write wise....

In 1894 EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS was born
when capital letters were the 'norm'-
With inventive and original verse,
Gaps,spaces,drop margins he then did try
and much use of the lower-case i
EE's many  little poetic tricks
sure makes him my maverick!

Note Cyndi
one of my 5 line vignette form
changed to a demi-sonnet form...

Tommy Turkey revealed that last year
Farmer Joe made old friends disappear.
To the new birds he said,
“Heed my words or be dead
should that farmer with axe reappear.”

The new birds thought his tale was a fable.
Tommy cried, “Run as fast as you’re able.”
To the corn field he fled
while his dumb friends instead
ended up on a Thanksgiving table....

So, I'm slouching before my noisy heated up laptop, randomly dropping in on waves made by others surfing the 4G. 

Then in my head, from out of nowhere, I ask my-selves;

Why is it that the word ‘Life’ starts with the same sound as 'Lie'?

And, how do we actually know that we’re telling ourselves the truth when we really ‘Like' something?

And, our ‘Lair’ could quite honestly yet simply be changed to ‘Liar’ by speech or by typo.

Just saying....

When you attend a funeral
you don’t expect to laugh
But a typo by the printers
was such a glaring gaffe
An N was mistyped in a word
So ‘Mooring is broken’ looked very absurd

It’s to be played when I pass, it’s a favourite song
And I’m sure that Cat Stevens won't get the lyrics wrong!

This happened at a funeral I attended recently, in the order of service there were actually 2 mistakes made by the printers
