Agnes by Tony Cochran for July 09, 2013

Bruno…. and some day she’ll get what she’s ode.

PerkyCat — thanks for liking my poem yesterday.

The non-poets don’t have to share their Slurpee.

Icee; depending where you are from.

We poets rarely have a candy bar to share with others.

This strip always makes me laugh!

This explains why Emily Dickinson was alone her whole life.

Wise men will sayThat a pome every dayKeeps the doctor away(An apple’s a pome, as you know).

But a poem is worse;To quotidian verseWe ALL are averse(Each time you come in, out we go).

More succinctly:

A daily poemKeeps you aloem.

with candy to eatAgnes’ featwas to drive away Troutsuccess not in doubtjust threaten a verseno matter how terseand away she’ll gono sharing to knowour lovely small childcan drive sane wildin admiration we bowfor the room’s empty now

Okay – there are a lot of good poets here. I like them!

PerkyCat… in case you come back yet again…Sorry, it’s been that kind of day…

br>But thank you, yet again, as well.

I don’t write professionally… when I was much younger, it was assumed by some that I would.

I write some poetry, lots of song lyrics (can’t write the music), and occasional fiction… all mostly unseen.

Would love to find a way to get some of it seen but it’s daunting..

Piles of e-mail, but I’m waaaaay behind…. and of course, trenchant (cough) comics commentary, complete with truly horrid puns, read by millions…OK dozens… Ok… you and a few others.

Love it when everybody composes, on whatever skill level…LOL….

DavidHG — thanks from yesterday.

Fritz and Bruno….my “offering” is on yesterday’s if you didn’t see it and for some reason (masochism?) want to..
