(Friday morning's post, sneaking in late.) Some people really could make a micro-poem out of "fourteen words about love." It's worth visiting the other links at Poets & Storytellers United. Warning: some of our poets love to write about Romantic Love.
Whereas:
Aunts write about the love of God
and love of our nieces and nephews.
Lest what comes to mind seem odd
like crumpled paper tossed out as refuse,
allow this space where I may iterate:
Dsnake1's fourteen words, I think, are great.
I think what I obtain, counting words,
is like wheat pastry: for the birds.
I didn't say it's not fun; 'tis.
My poor muse cannot make it fizz.
Priscilla, this is a wonderful take on the fourteen words challenge!!! Five times wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha...Love the Warning Sign !
ReplyDeleteYour muse made me laugh anyway, and I'm glad to note you seem to have had fun writing this too. (Also I am a great admirer of dsnake1's writings, including this latest.)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think he's outdone himself with the first 14-word poem.

Great write and wonderful rhymes. 👏
ReplyDeleteI'm with your aunt, God loves his children and hopes the best for them. Absolute best would be a visit with Him when their life here ends.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Yes, I joke about the Aunts' Union or Aunts' Manual, but actually I learned how to be an aunt from almost thirty good examples. (All four grandparents came from large families.)

Yes...as you remember, Rosemary mentioned the option of writing multiple fourteen-word stanzas, which most of us chose. Thank you for visiting and commenting.
