 A poem a day keeps the cobwebs off my keyboard. |
| A place for the poetry that I will need to write now that I made a special book for it. |
| Down the lane where the daisies grow There’s a place where my heart still goes In a grassy meadow, buzzing with bees With baseball games and the climbing of trees Sweet, summer days when we ran so free The best of friends, you and me There’s a place where my heart still goes Down the lane where the daisies grow Down the lane where the daisies grow There’s a place where my heart still goes The best of friends, you and me Sweet, summer days when we ran so free With baseball games and the climbing of trees In a grassy meadow, buzzing with bees There’s a place where my heart still goes Down the lane where the daisies grow 16 lines Task Prompt Write a two-stanza poem where the second stanza is the first stanza in reverse order. The poem should still be interesting (and make sense) in reverse **Because the last two lines of the first stanza are the same as the first two lines of the first stanza but in reverse order, the first two lines of the second stanza appear to be the same as the first two lines of the first stanza but they are the last two lines in reverse order which means they end up in the same order since they were already reversed once. So, if you reverse the reversed verse, it looks unreversed but it’s just reversed twice. Yeah, that’s it. |
| If you've read Agatha Christie, You know murders can be elegant things, If accomplished with the right kind of poison, Not with guns, or garotting strings. One can find the substances needed, Growing right at home in the garden. Or perhaps, in the gardener’s shed There is something to control the vermin. But one doesn’t expect to be felled, By a craving for dessert. Or to find one’s fate written, Like a warning or alert. Yet in the broken cookie, Instead of some tidbit of wisdom, Was a label describing the toxin Of which I was now the victim. Caution! the label read, Toxic to humans and pets. (My dog died years ago But I’ve no time to digress). My fortune was most unfortunate A hard fact for me to digest. Prize Prompt: The thing you’d find most ominous if it were inside a fortune cookie. |
