    Lol! Enjoyed!

    The Spiral and the Pages

    There once was a metal spiral.
    For ages,
    it aspired to be holding pages.
    But the pages were either to few
    or too many,
    so the spiral didnīt get any.

    Until it underwent a surgery
    and got so small and slim
    it nearly went into the bin.
    But then a child got hold of it,
    and used it for his kit:
    "The Diary of an Anonymous Kid".
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "

    ""The Diary of an Anonymous Kid"." - Love it

    Yma

    leaves Beneath a new apple sun,
    petals smiled But For May lilacs,
    tossing the love that is April.
    And false is The wind in the fall way,
    the wintry blossoms spring
    The orchard Is done. I go in to me
    the me on the wall, in for the laugh

    A horrible shuffling of May by Sara Teasdale... https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/po...-sara-teasdale

    Enjoyed the poem very much. Allow me to rearrange it a bit.

    Yma

    Yma leaves.
    Beneath a new apple sun,
    petals smiled.
    But for May lilacs,
    tossing the love that is April.
    And false is the wind in the fall way,
    the wintry blossoms spring,
    the orchard is done.

    I turn towards myself,
    to the me on the wall,
    ready for the laugh.

    Enjoyed Yours reads better.

    Been tinkering all night...

    Sultry Venus Thirsts

    Sultry Venus thirsts
    between vigil's pent
    oaths and melancholy
    heron's ballads
    Therein, if a hilly top
    bough's leaf whorls -
    adapt of origami,
    thrown gentle heat -
    mist will fade...
    I smile, a poet's
    machination want -
    ... he needs sleep

    Itīs your poem. I merely eliminated some capital letters and arranged the verses a bit differently.

    Enjoyed still more than the first poem. Hope you got some sleep.

    An onomatopoeic attempt

    Rain

    Rain rains
    pitter patter
    The old roof goes
    clatter, clatter
    to the song of the
    storming wind.

    Enjoyed your onomatopoeic tones

    An Anonymous Fisherman Named Billy

    Billy was a man who loved to fish
    In fact if you asked him it was his favorite wish
    One day he was locked in a battle
    With a rainbow at Green Lake in Seattle
    When a'sudden the rainbow lunged out of the water and smacked Billy in the face with a swish
    But rather be rattled
    He reeled in the embattled
    And later baked the rainbow into a knish

    My Word Can poem… words from 1/5/2023 from our poetry group:
    (sofa (crazy) stolen list thistly inked honor)

    a stolen inked list…

    as crazy as it sounds, your honor
    a stolen inked list was my downfall
    upon a sofa thus thistly stuffed
    the list was lifted isn't that enough ?
    a list that contained every memory
    I'd ever known - like a trashed cell
    phone that hadn't been cloned -
    so now I languish here in your court
    after heeding not: no shirt,
    no shoes, no service

    Lol! Enjoyed. Lists or drafts lying around may prove fatal.

    From our Thursdays at Two poetry group's word can list: assure/tickle/tragedy/marble/echo/romance

    heavenly assurance

    I can assure you from upon high
    the romance with my echo
    tickled my funny bone -
    What a tragedy it was when
    the marble face of the cliff
    I was supported on gave way
    to a long drop
    and a sudden stop of ululation

    I see! But I think the first version is more dramatic because it īdoesnīt explain anything. There is just the impact of the last verse.
