"In time / comes the rhyme"
an anonymous man named frederick
frederick was a man who like to gamble
he rather liked sardines with his scramble
though it fret with his digestion
"where is the WC ?" he would oft question
then with gangnam style he would gambol

Loved this"In time/comes the rhyme" Lol!"Frederick!
A poem with rhyme
Once upon a time
There lived a rosy swine
Near a pine.
She whelped: nine
In their time
They all debuted on line
And were all doing fine.
But Mr Heim
Shouted nein, nein, nein
"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. "

Totally nonsense
Revolution #Nein
One have she ambitious thought,
Born well the souls confine?
would have been young should
content to manage what Nine,
that the empire government;
But of mighty to spacious can

But what would we do without its strength?

Her Leaf's Grief
Her leaf's grief,
So leaf.

Her green day. so a goes is

Then sank to subsides

But stay. Nature's leaf first to hardest

Enjoyed poem and creative mashup
Mashup of the mashup
Grief and Gold
Early grief leaves
like early leaves.
Old gold

Eternal Flower

Enjoyed !
an anonymous man named torrance
torrance was a man who liked strolling.
he found it to be so consoling.
he kept dog biscuits in his pockets,
so when dogs drew close by like rockets -
he just couldn't say no to the growling.

Simply loved the Het Link.
I hope still to develop this poem.
I think, to find the right measure of "no" in one´s life is an art . I often am to hard, other times to complying. But the dog poem is cute! It´s so difficult saying "no" to an animal!
An nonsensical poem
XXX wanted to write a nonsensical poem
She thought of multiple wants:
no food
no roof
no dears
no job
no money
no identity
no No.
Then shoe thought of the word sense
sense of survival
sense of being
sense of identity
sense of belonging
sense of...
But whenever she tried
to put both words together
they wouldn´t match
and flew apart.

Intriguing
True story - I was promised some blackberries and was told they'd be found in a communal refrigerator, but by the time I was able to retrieve them they had disappeared - so they were both there and not there until I opened said refrigerator I guess? It was an innocent gaff by another families' youth that caused the expectant blackberries disappearance... More promised for pick up at FHE (this time in person, lol).
schrödinger's blackberries - tanka
blackberries promised
prolly so black and juicy
sweet expectations
their rife globular bunches
were they both there and not there ?

Got my blackberries
an anonymous man named tailor
there once was a man on the divide
who took his blackberries home with pride
they exceeded his expectations
so he put aside his lamentations
now ponders how long his fingers will remain dyed

Oved this blackberry story in two poems. Love blackberries, but know them only as jelly.
to be turned into jelly
The blackberry
There once was a blackberry
That swore revolution
'Cos she didn´t want
to be turned into jelly.
Said the wise strawberry:
If you really want fame
You'll have to fill peoples bellies
As fruit, desserts, cakes or jellies.

Word Can Poem from 8/18/2022 (lack/casualty/sail/sloven/clerk)
Lowering the Boom
‘twas a casualty of slovenliness
upon the sailboat christened “Governess”
a lackadaisical tragedy - "a bloody mess"
said the insurance clerk from Inverness
… you see the boom got lowered and swung wide
and knocked everyone overboard and quite senseless

Googled "lowering the boom" and found scolding harshly or punishing someone. The lyric I is scolding harshly who permitted the tragedy to happen. The accident might also be a punishment, but it doesn´t say what for.
