There was a hygienist, named Ruth

Always found cavities like a sleuth!

But she never would numb

To the pain, you succumb

Evil grin, as she yanked out your tooth!

Always be kind when you exercise your rights

Lest you become a symptom, not a solution

Use your cause to create, but never lose sight

Leave the rest to battle, the noise pollution

This week Colleen has challenged us with the words Spring and Sing!  Synonyms are a must!  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Resilience and Warble.


Robin’s resilience

Abounds, this vernal season

Allowing warbles

To permeate the warm air

A vibrato in nature

Backfired – #poetry – #MarchWriting

The girls all gathered for a rare, special treat
Touted as something that couldn’t be beat
Each one brought, her husband or mate
Some of them even brought their last date

Standing in a cornfield, far away from town
The men were getting antsy, starting to frown
They didn’t understand, why they were there
The women kept chattering, they didn’t care

When the men found out, what a surprise!
There was a rocket ship, in front of their eyes
The women urged them, to climb on board
Knowing pretty soon, they’d get their reward

The rocket doors closed, there was no escape
They had tricked the men, who stood, agape
The thrusters fired the ship, clear off the ground
The laughter from the ladies, did clearly abound

Waving goodbye, to those left standing on land
You have to wonder, who had the upper hand…
