WOW!! Amy, your Table with the Butterflies and Flowers is BEAUTIFUL, and Tulip, yours with the Spider and the Webs is Wonderful, too!

NicknamedBob, you just can't Write a Bad Poem! Your Butterflies and Spiders Poems were both Great!

Thank you!!

Billie helped me and also made a suggestion; See #378. It is much better after I took Billie's suggestion.

Bob’s Bad Poem

Someone said my poems,
Were all so very good,
I couldn’t write a bad one so,
I guess I thought I should.

I’ll start by saying orange,
That doesn’t rhyme with squat.
So if you speak of oranges,
A poet you are not!

Another thing I hate to see,
Is words that don’t quite rhyme,
So if you happen on such things,
You’ll know they aren’t mine.

And meter is important too,
The rhythm of the pome,
I try to keep mine steady on,
And not wandering too very far from home.

The essence of a poem,
At least where I’m concerned.
Is that you have a point to make,
Not clever phrases turned.

Anyone can write a poem,
Free verse is free-for-all,
But it takes art to have them shown,
Somewhere other than a wall.
