Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy

Lori, I am SO glad you joined in on the poem game. And your poem was excellent, excellent, and excellent. The word choices were perfect for a rant, and I love the idea of getting even with acetone. What a delightfully 'bad' picture poem. And "Wedding Quartet" - yes, that would be it...

Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy

Reading KateSinging's poem about Confidence in today's DailyMuse reminded me that, though we had set a topic earlier for this week's poem, the final details were never set. I will put up details and if they don't work, we'll do something different. Since tomorrow is already Friday...

Copper Cat, Thanks for opening your heart and sharing. As more and more people acknowledge mental health issues, I hope there will be more understanding and acceptance. Sometimes I feel like the stigma is hanging around my neck - a red "MI", similar to Hester's "A". Bo

Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy

Topic for this week's 10 minute poem is "mental illness" Well, here goes...this type of poetry isn't what I usually share. I am an advocate for the mentally ill in my state, as well as having a significant mental illness myself. This kind of sharing is what many advocates do - paving...

Rubber-Banded World

Staring into the gated garden twirling strands of hair, twirling with the earth wobbling on its axis Brashing tins slam in arrhythmic beats, even while her secret voices sing a cappella And her world reels wildly yet, rubber-banded, it remains intact. ~ "Your mother is quite well today. She's...

This is not a happy, I loved vacation poem, but it’s been on my mind, and the words were ready to be written. Sorry for no sunny sky visions of sugarplums. A Week-Long Cruise On the sixth day His only clean clothes were two pair of socks And of the full-of-promise four hundred dollars he’d stuffed in...

KateSinging, Hey! I'm back in the county after a week of travel. I'm up for a 10 minute poem. What's the plan, Stan? Bo

Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy

Stan the Man, Your poem is totally awesome. How can I play against you? That poem, probably not as complex nor with so many layers, would have taken me a day. If we are going to be buddies and play together like good girls, you'll have to accept "wearied pillow" - it's the best I can...

Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy From Bo

Merry Christmas to All, and to all a Good Day! Ho Ho Bo! (I'll really miss when I can't send my holiday signature.) Okay, done in 10 minutes, less 20 seconds. Woo! Pillow Crumpled, squashed - when I awake, my pillow shows signs of wearied battle. It has had a rough night. Shuffled about as I...
