Gims and Chatty thank you for saying that. I read EW's and my mind just jumped. I would love to condense it make it into a song and have the message as the chorus but I can't sing Ha ha. I wrote it right here on the page after reading EW's. It just came...

New words:
stone bubblegum vote jewel

WOW this thread has had 9116 views! You can see it under views when you check the topics. Is that a record high?
Maybe it will incite more of you to join us? These poems get read!


Chick, I loved your poem too. And I’m impressed that you wrote it directly into the post.

You gals are amazing. I'd join in, but I'm the pits when it comes to poetry.

All these latest poems are excellent. I love them. I thought the
words with and including safari would be hard. But they seemed to flow easily. You've gotta love it!

New words: stone, bubblegum, vote, jewel

So here I stand, blowing bubbles,
Bubbles as big as I can,
They're pink bubbles that I make,
With gum given to me by Aunt Fran.

Over there is a garden stone,
A jewel by any stretch of an imagination.
If The Garden Club came by,
they vote it Town's best yard decoration.

New words: Fodder, fools, formal, freckle

Jabber don't you just love the mind's eye we get from those poems? Yours brought me to a special place.

Fodder(food)for thought

You know we're just a freckle
On the face of what's called Time
Too be fools and waste it
Would be an awful crime
Just try and live it simply
Don't make it too complex
Love your bros and sisters
Forgive that awful Ex
Be normal or be formal
If it's who you want to be
Don't waste it being negative
....Agree to disagree
Take time to smell the roses
And be kind to one another
Be good to your dear momma
And always obey your fodder blush

New words: Show Screen Satin Serenity

aha aha I loved your last line Chick.


New words: Show Screen Satin Serenity

You know that new advertisement show on TV,
Where they fill the screen with pink blooming roses?
They say a new perfume is on the market; - Serenity.
Promising silky satin scents shall fill our noses.

New words
Lamb, livid, leery, little,

Chick, I'm so glad you decided to join this poem thread. It's so
much fun. And yes. I do love the pictures theses poems create in
the mind's eye. Four little words and you get a whole scenario.
By the bye I loved that play on words in your latest poem.

New words:
Lamb, livid, leery, little

It never fails,
I grow a little leery,
Of self-proclaimed lambs,
And their sacrifical theories.

When good ole boys attempt to impart,
Homespun stories from their bleeding heart,
And advise the unvirtuous, 'about life
'n how to live it,
Best intentions can fade,
And even become livid.

New words:
Anchor, bypass, creepy, disenchant

Words: anchor, bypass, creepy, disenchant

Wanna see if I can do these???? Here goes!

If what you use to anchor your soul,
Does nothing but disenchant,
downcast and grow old,
Bypass that creepy, ole moor,
And search for something uplifting,
cheery and blissful,
Then you won't feel dejected,
rejected, or sad like before.
