    It might take some time
    To produce you a rhyme

    Writing with stanza
    it's like writing with bonanza

    'And from the trash can's swarming flies, jumps down The Cat, he has nine lives!'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 'As legend would tell us, in early spring night, an angel of pity brought Earthbound her flight,'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  'Strange music here, from nature's hand, -no repeating melody, but oh, how wonderful, just to know, Heaven sent a song for me!'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ( These lines are from full poems written by me.)

    Maybe, if you would allow, such a bold gesture
    we might make a tune from your chosen treasures


    Fulfilling, The Cat, with a tenth life, not clamered with pesky flies and rats
    But rather, praising his knowledge, filled with prestige and aristocrats
    A purring of subtle sounds without repeating monotony
    One that is sultry and tells a wonderful story

    I love your post, bhwilson

      Very creative you are
    With your talent you will go far!

    Thank you for your comments. However, I did receive a second place award for 'song lyrics' in a contest judged by country star and Grammy Award winner Aaron Tippin. That was cool. I have not written any poems or lyrics since 1993.

    Tears shall not spill for those... that scamper gleefully amok
    When those who are suffering... experience nary a f*ck

    I totally get this
    With water you cannot miss!

    Happy! Happy!
    There is no poem to that
    It is simply a fact!
    ;) ;)

    Candy is dandy,

    But liquor is quicker.

    There are no words to express 
    how much I admire your wisdom and know this is why you have success

    I know that is totally wrong
    Not in the thought but soon-to-be song

    It's the punctuation
    I already see the door to detention This post was edited by Merlin at January 16, 2020 4:09 PM MST

    Is equal to the love you make"
