Kids Driving Me Nuts
Why Won't They Go To Bed Now?
No School Tomorrow
(I originally had the last line say, Time For A Cocktail, but changed it.)
~~~
Apple Martini
With A Caramel Drizzle
Slice of Granny Smith
(this one might not work if you pronounce caramel as two syllables like I usually do, but in this case, read it like car-a-mel)
~~~
Thoughts Go Inside Out
Turn 'Round In My Heavy Head
And Spit Out My Mouth
~~~
So I Said To Him
I Do Not Want Your Baby
Fucked Me Anyway
~~~
I'm A Blond Redhead
What The Fuck Does That Mean, Huh?
Your Stylist Screwed Up?
~~~
Use Five Syllables
Seven For The Next Poem Line
Then Five More To End
(So, this one may not work either, if you pronounce poem as two syllables, but I didn't so it works.)
OK, your turn in the comment section--whatever first comes to your mind, write it. Remember, it's 5 - 7 - 5 syllables for the lines, just in case you didn't interpret the last poem. Show me what ya got, and feel free to write as many as you want.
I'll leave ya with this one for the upcoming holiday weekend--
You - Happy Easter
And If You Don't Celebrate
Have Some Candy Still
LILA PERFECT ONE
