Poetry Challenge http://www.writerscafe.org/contests/Poetry-Challenge/53153/

This was a challenge. I picked it up from: Ledger Lines: A Poem by Hailey Juliet James She gave me permission to make this into a contest. See Contest: http://www.writerscafe.org/contests/Poetry

I like to think that I am moral

Though my thoughts twist like coral

Here I stand inside the hedge

Though truth to tell I’m on the edge

 

Yes, we must reap what we do sow

Trying not to step on too many toes

I guess it is just not in the cards

Or perhaps I am thinking way too hard

 

Is it my favor you try to curry?

That is always my current worry

So when my thoughts the get too low

I take surcease in my trusty banjo

Singing songs like a wayward sparrow

Of the sadness of a weeping willow

Of places lonely and places far

Songs you will never hear in your car

 

So sit here next to me on the ground

Join me now and let’s do a round

Upon this log; do all of you pound

Ahh… Have you ever heard such a sound?

Contest: http://www.writerscafe.org/contests/Poetry This was a challenge. I picked it up from
Ledger Lines
A Poem by Hailey Juliet James She kindly gave me permission to pass the challenge along. The challenge is to use the following words in a poem. I took the challenge a little further and used the words consecutively. Be creative. They may be placed anywhere in the line. You may use any style… I chose couplets. Be sure to check out Hailey’s, and if you do this challenge and message me, I will include your link too.

Wow I really like this piece, wonderful job! I love how the poem flows from one word to the next. The use of the selected words is wonderful and very thoughtful. I am very impressed with the simplicity and the visual that you have created with this piece.

Easily a new favorite of mine!
