Rhyme Time

[Luvparrots]

I love fried purple eggplant

it is better than chocolate covered ants

you know the kind that get in your pants

and cause you to do that silly dance.

 

 

 

cane

[Ray P]

cane

 

I lost my cane on the way to Maine

so when the time came

I could not walk across Maine

[Luvparrots]

RayP forgot to give us a word

so what to say is kind of blurred

as without a new word

how will I be heard.

 

 

plane

[Ray P]

I have had to go back a time or two to finish what I started (sorry)

[Guest]

She listened intently among the chaos.

Years of memories come flooding back.

The German plane's engine from 1940

Growled back into my English mum's mind in a 1977

Midwest cornfield.

 

 

Organ.

[Birdnut]

The early winter wind in the baring branches of the oak

Rips leaves loose and spins them across the silver sky

Its sighs, now shrill, now low, invoke

The gods of death and loss and leaving by

Like mournful chords on an ancient organ

Or the keening cries of the fearsome Morrigan.

 

Rebirth

[Ray P]

rebirth

the spring is the rebirth of nature

when all the animals give birth and start a new

and all the flowers come out to celebrate

the rebirth of nature

 

flowers

[Birdnut]

flowers

 

I love to smell the flowers

And while away the hours

In quiet contemplation of the sky

But then I have parrots....sigh.

 

listen

[Ray P]

listen

 

Listen the wind

it blows from the north

the snow is on it`s way

so you better build a fort

 

smell

[Luvparrots]

smell

 

I love the smell of Christmas

the spices and the pomace must

if I could bottle up this jell

I know I could catch a lusty male!

 

 

Joy

[Ray P]

Joy

The joy of a parrot

you should not miss

Like a boy in the woods

full of bliss

 

slide

[Birdnut]

slide

 

I have tried

To let it slide,

But can't abide

To be denied.

 

pest

[Ray P]

pest

 

he is a pest

like the rest

and like the rest

I will be a pest

 

count

[Luvparrots]

count

 

If I could mount

the highest hill

I would wear my coat

so I wouldn't chill.

 

summer

[Ray P]

Summer is a bummer

I have to say.

Just to go swimming

I have to pay.

 

Slang

[Luvparrots]

Slang

 

Sometimes there is a harangue

but is much more fun to have meringue

than to watch a naughty gang

create such a big bang.

 

Stage

[Morana]

All the world's a stage

full of calm, love, but also rage.

We all have a part to play;

if today it's going bad, there's always a new day.

 

opportunity

[JeffNOK]

I loved a young lass, but she left

I was down and distraught and bereft

Then I saw her on the street

With a man named Pete

Who had a large chin with a cleft.

 

New Word: Ship

 

OOPS--I rhymed the wrong word (LEFT) because I followed post #7 at the bottom of page one rather than the last post here. I like my little poem though so I decided not to delete it. Forgive me for not following game etiquette. I promise I will adhere to the rules next time.

[JeffNOK]

OK--here's the rhyme I should have made. Rhyming with "opportunity"

 

 

I often take opportunity

To find joy in my life with impunity.

Its good for my health

And adds to my wealth

And seldom disrupts the community.

 

New Word: Ship (second times a charm)

Edited August 9, 2011 by JeffNOK

[Ray P]

Ship

 

The wind was high

And the sales were full.

And all the men.

Aboard the ship.

Knew it was moving.

At a pretty good clip.
