I used to write a poem or two
when I was just a lass.
but all my silly dayreams
put me bottom of the class.
I never touched my maths book,
Geography would bore me,
and as for art,
well it definitely floored me.
But stick a book of poems
into my little mitt
and I'd be in my element
for hours I would sit.
Tennyson, was my delight,
the Lady of Shallott,
I dreamed of writing odes
and long romantic rhymes.
But only ever managed
to waste me flipping time.
Creativity, in whatever form, is at the top of my list poems. Where would we be without our creative thinkers? You have a particular talent which gives us much pleasure. Cheers, Chrys
That last line should read 'but now's my catch-up time.' When did you write this one?
This morning, it took 10 minutes which is why it's not very good. 😕
Did you enjoy writing and posting it is the question, leave it to others to do the judging. I thought it was good.😀x
Not really Don as I'm not used to writing 'on the fly'. I prefer to take some time to think about it. Some I've written took WEEKS to get them the way I want them. 😁
I was misled by the name you use here. 🤔x
Shall I change it then? What would you suggest?
No of course not, it’s you now. 😘x
From a window in a previous house of ours, I could see into a neighbours kitchen where they had a bird in a cage hanging up. When I was pregnant, this bothered me and I wrote this -
A bird shouldn't be made
To live in a cage,
A bird should fly
High up in the sky
A bird should sing
Though his heart would ache
At the sight of the dawn
Of a new daybreak.

That is lovely Iris. And very true.
I can't agree more Iris, I still hate seeing birds in cages. They have wings and were made to fly. I really liked your poem as it contains an important message. Cheers, Chrys
