No whisper descends
from the groaning sky,
No scowl wrinkles
the tiring pool,
No true love succeeds
without struggling to follow the general rule.
The stars seem shy
When leaning down to hear babies cry.
The town hall leers
its torn shelves,
The cars try
to lose weight
By sending homes
of those absent-minded elves.

great job. I need to try 55 some time.
The stars so far away to see
They just pop out when they want to be
They hide when the clouds are in the way
Disappear when the sun comes for the day
So look real close the next time you go out
You might see them peeking without a doubt
enjoy as well Jingle(+)

Nice, Jingle. I like the stars leaning down to hear babies cry. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting earlier. I appreciate it. Feeling a little blue but don't know why. My 55 will be up in about five!
Abstract, yet awesome!
Great 55!
Thanks for dropping by. See if you can spot the lyrics in my 55 words
Nice 55... "those absent-minded elves"... :) - I liked that.
I like the images you build here, the groaning sky, the tiring pool, and the shy stars...
Peace and love/ Jo.
The way you animated each aspect of nature with humanisms added so much depth to this, and loved this line: 'No true love succeeds
without struggling to follow the general rule.'
Well done , Jingle!
You are now an expert!
Mine is here
Have a FANTASTIC FRIDAY now!

Well done, Jingle! This flows really nicely.
I was doing fine until the lines the town hall shelves...

I'm not too adept at poetic metaphor, lack of education I guess.
But thank you so much for visiting and playing, you ROCK!!
have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Stars are shy. Ever catch one?
Whispers descending from groaning skies, shy stars, cars losing weight - this 55 is jam packed with creativity and imagination. Nice!

"No true love succeeds
without struggling to follow the general rule." Now ain't that the truth! :D Nicely done 55!!
