Well…. You all gave it a good go, close but not quite.  Scroll down to the bottom to see the answer.  😀

****************************************************************

I’ve started a new, um, thingy?, on Thursday’s, just for a bit of fun.  I’ll describe something, and you need to tell me what it is I am describing.  Ready?

I’m going to hold back comments til later tonight, so no one sees the other’s answers.   😉

I can often be found hanging in a somewhat precarious position, yet I’m capable of carrying the weight of the world. I’m usually not alone, others can easily find their way to me.  I’ve also noted that I’m good for many different things.

What am I?

I’m always hanging around doing nothing.  The best part is people always look for me, but I am never lost. My favorite color can be found in a rainbow. I’m not crazy about the two on either side of me.  They make me feel like an alien.  But, that’s okay too, because if there’s ever a problem, I know they have my back.

What am I?

Welcome to ….
Not Just My Verse, Your Two Two Too!

Rory (A Guy Called Bloke) graciously tagged me to continue this aging process, like I need help. Below, I’ll tag the next victim, er, poet/writer, to carry on…with the poem. 😉

Once the poem [Verse] leaves my blog, the next blogger along can take it where ever they want with regards their own four line verse but always staying on topic.

Got it?  Remember to tag another poet to keep it going!!
Topic: The Ageing Process


The Wrong Side of 40

Rory’s Bit

Oh!
How l wish, that when l was younger,
My parents had been somewhat bolder,
Concerning the ageing process and the wonders,
Blunders, pitfalls and perils of getting older!

Dorinda’s Bit

Wrinkles in my skin have begun to bloom
I dare not look in the mirror much longer
Mom once said, child, you can forego this doom
Honestly, she couldn’t have been any wronger

 

My Tag Along is to Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

In-Vader ~ #poetry #whimsy #ValentinesDay

(Heavy Breathing)

My dearest Padawan, I have something, just for you

The droids reminded me, to give you something blue

Oh yes, and something red, although, I prefer all black

The elevator’s calling us, let’s move in, toward the back

No one else will follow us, trust me, this is true

But should they get too close, they’re easy to subdue

We can be together, all alone, in this elevator

You can be my chosen one, and I can be your Vader

(Snickering laugh)
(Back to heavy breathing)

Take these flowers, please, they’re making me wheeze!

 

A little levity on this day of passion and love!  😉  This was my original poem for ~M’s challenge.  Then I just made it silly lol  ❤

The Switch – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

January’s prompts where a fun combination of ~M and myself.  We challenged you to figure out who was who.  Did you guess?  Some of you were spot on, others, not so much!  The following poem is my finale to this month.  I’m still challenging you!  😉


Let me know, dear people, who was who, and how did you tell?

Some were done by little ole me, and the others, were by Michelle

We write in very similar ways, why, some even say we are sisters

But it’s a secret, I can’t say, only ones to know, are the misters

January, a month of prompts, blended perfectly together, by two

Beguiling or dark, whimsical or romantic, which ones did you do?

Alas, it now has come to an end, and February is calling my name

This time, it’s all up to ~M, so she’s the one you’ll have to blame!

 

January Writing Prompt – And completely by mistake, the switch was made – Day 31/31
