Why I don't have a poetry blog!


the truth of the matter
and it's proven once again
my rhymes are pathetic
I'm no good with a pen
for meter I've got but little use
everything comes out
sounding like Seuss.*

and so I'll happily
stick to my prose
no blue violets
nor a silly red rose
I'll tell you my stories
from my room painted orange
with humor and wit
but no... oh crap...


*my apologies to Seuss... and his whole family

    Any poem that sounds like or references Dr. Seuss is a winner in my books:)

    That word "orange" will get you every time. I suggest inventing a word to rhyme. Suess did.

    or maybe I'll just paint the room? I'll avoid purple and silver...

    I think you have quite a quick wit,
    so I read your blog here, while I sit.

    You don't hear the word crap to often,
    in a poem which hath been penned.
    I think that yours is probably the first,
    and thus I reacheth an end.

    Suess rhymes are great and your poem didn't convince me you couldn't be good at writing poetry -- if you wanted to. Prose is great too though

    I think Seuss would be impressed :) I think he would like your orange room too.

    Given that this was clever and funny, I think I'd read your poetry blog. I mean you DO rhyme after all.

    I think that was a great poem I would also like to see a picture of your orange room.

    Great to meet you at BBC

Now that you've made it this far - you really want to say something witty don't you?
