I write a lot of poetry
As most on here will see
I'm sure that many wonder
Just why that should be
Wordsworth with his wandering
And other poets might be
Much better at it than I am
But they haven't got COPD
So their poems rarely mention.
Breathlessness and coughs
So I'm filling a gap in the market
If anyone out there scoffs
Morning Mr.D. and my first chuckle of the day! Who knew you'd be able to find the funny side of COPD?
Aww love love this .. don’t think I’ve ever read a poem with copd in it! Huge hugs xx
Well you have to admit, Rosie, it loses some of it's charm. 🙄
I wandered lonely in a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hill
When all at once I saw a crowd
Of people who looked rather ill
Wheezing and coughing beneath the tree
A group of folk with COPD
It will only loose the charm if you let it! .. huge hugs Mr D xx
Hi don-1931. I like the idea of poetry just for us laboured breathers lol. Another laugh out loud rhyme, it certainly brightens my day xxx love burs xxxx
Thanks again Don. How about filling another gap and getting ‘gob’ in.🤭
He liked to play a little tune,
By gobbing in a brass spittoon. (Not good breakfast reading.)
Makes me think of those big old Victorian pubs.
Absolutely... tell it as it is. A lot of poets had consumption of course. Not quite the same.
Keep them coming.
Really cheers us up and keeps us going.
K xx
No scoffing here Don. You’re a master poet that’s for sure. Take care. Xxxx 😘😘🥰
I wold never scoff at you my friend. I look forward to your lovely poems and always end up thinking you have missed your vocation Don. 👀💋💖 x
Another brilliant poem. Still chuckling.
Another great one Don 👍🏻
I am going to put a spanner in the works, sorry Don.
My fellow country man the asthmatic Dylan Thomas wrote a short story , ' Extraordinary Little Cough'
Not a poem though, so you are still the COPD poet
Better than the original in my opinion Don. Now write one for me please, Bronchiectasis!
If you’ve got one of those unpronounceable diseases
Or just wracked with coughs and sneezes
Don Rhymer comes along and the opportunity he seizes
To write us a poem and everyone he pleases 👍
Oh I do like that, thank you. 👏😀
👏
Don, you are really clever to keep coming up with these great odes! I love reading them. xx Moy
Simply brilliant Don, as always.
Mr Don! I put our completed poem on this site....That was fun..Thank you! Its under COPD Janet127 Poet Mr Don Poet...Hope you don't mind! All your poems are Great!
Oh right! Well it’s there whether I like it or not in’it. 🤔
12 out of 10 for that one Cap'n ....
I don't recollect having seen that - but of course I have chemo fudge brain now ....
I didn't remember seeing it either but I didn't like to say especially as I don't have a good excuse (to say I have chocolate fudge brain could seem crass and insensitive). I hadn't realised you're having chemo. I hope it's all going ok and you're as well as can be 💐
I write a lot of forgettable stuff so don't beat yourself up. 😄
Lol HungryHufflepuff chocolate fudge brain sounds simply scrumptious, I would really enjoy that I am sure and would happily swap - thank you for your good wishes, I really appreciate your sentiments 
It wasn't a memorable piece so it doesn't surprise me that you don't recall it. 😄
But the old search engine dragged it back up just the same.
Three cheers for the old search engine . . . hip hip hoorayyyyyyyyyyyyy
A little perplexed 
A horrible, drained feeling upon waking up from a nap.
Help with a pseudo question
Not a picture 
Anyone been to a salt cave or used a salt pipe?
