A poem for today

I looked up this one earlier for another forum:
"I have spread my dreams under you feet.
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
W. B. Yeats.
I don't want to lose my illusions

It's a poem, it isn't a rhyme
gagagran has committed a crime
Jingls had loftier thoughts in her head
than pruning and watering
and weeds in her bed.

Or if she's on a roll, call it sublime?

What rhymes with time that doesn't say rhyme?
Jings' work "is a pome " - could we call it a crime?

jinglbells said gagagran had spoiled her nice new rattle...
To get it right can seem such a battle ...

jinglbells said gagagran had spoiled her nice new rattle...

Stuck now

(sort of)

Gaga start yer own thread.

Rhyme?! Rhyme?!! It's a pome for flips sake!!!

Dear jingl

I'm sending you a little note
To say I'm sorry wot I wrote
I didn't mean to trash your rhyme
So sending .....Just THIS time.

Yes, I can see how you could change that.

Thanks Jane - think I might have found something on here

"I Rely on You," by Hovis Presley

I rely on you
like a camera needs a shutter
like a gambler needs a flutter
like a golfer needs a putter
like a buttered scone involves some butter

I rely on you
like an acrobat needs ice cool nerve
like a hairpin needs a drastic curve
like an HGV needs endless derv
like an outside left needs a body swerve

I rely on you
like a handyman needs pliers
like an auctioneer needs buyers
like a laundromat needs driers
like The Good Life needed Richard Briers

I rely on you.

You could just pick one verse?

I love that last poem of jingl's, almost wish it did apply!

Oh! I see!

Lucky Gagagran.

Just coming Jings - been reading the stuff on janerowena's link. Still not found anything suitable as we don't really do mushy stuff and whilst I appreciate the one you posted that's not appropriate either if you know what I mean (nudge nudge)! Thank you anyway and hope you are feeling soothed now!

Anyone got a funny poem I could use?

"people still talk to you"

Yes. There's that too.

Gaga - you come back and say thank you!

Yes. I am alive. I'm glad you noticed that.

#smallmercies

janerowena - only kidding cos that merlot made light of my poem.

I never grumpy.

Darling old feller, we have been married for
49 years though it seems like more.
If you give me a thrill
without taking that pill,
We just might make it to fifty.

That'll do.

Why are you grumpy, jingls my sweet? You are alive, It's July, you posted a lovely poem, people still talk to you. [pollyannasmiley]
