Big Tent Poetry In 55 Words






Boyish smiles on face,
Tangled hair shows grace,
Without question, dreams creep
in her sleep.
Typically, there may be a ship
with parties and gasps,
There may be a partnership
with defying parades,
No flames seen unless you knock her thigh
and wake her up to clarify,
If she's mad,
Everything is a secret, unsaid.




This is an entry for the following: G-man’s Flash Friday 55, Big Ten Poetry, And Writer’s Island: Secret

Well, Jingle...I see you can kill two (make that three birds) with one stone. You create a wonderful image of a "happy place"...and woe to anyone who might disturb. Very nice job, and thank you for visiting my site. Vb

This is beautiful, Jingle. I have not read all of your work, but this is my favorite, so far.

Really wonderful.

If you tell her you were watching her sleep, she'll still be mad.

They give fun prompts at BTP. That one was last week's...you did great. This week's prompt was posted on Monday and it's to write a science poem. With your math background that should be a piece of cake!

I like this, very much. Thinking of my love as she sleeps - the expressions on her face, as I assume she thinks of me - of course it is me. But yes, to get the final answer, I must wake my love, and oh how I love her.

Lovely

Eden said...

Linda Jacobs said...
