KNOCK KNOCK
(1)
Knock knock smack smack
bang bang whack whack
pound pound tap tap
rap rap-a-tat-tat
cuff thud and thrash
swat slug and bash
I can’t ignore it any more
I’d best go see who’s at the door.
(2)
Knock knock the creaking door
Swings wide
And footsteps on the flagstone floor
Are heard inside
Her eyes look up her face alight
Arms open wide
Knock knock she welcomes me tonight.

Two good ones Michael.
I hope all is well.
Thanks Andy - yes feeling a lot better this morning and the wound has now settled down. Still feeling a bit emotionally drained and i guess boredom will settle in as I am usually so proactive but will keep a low profile until the new year.
Are these two fine stanzas linked? Was it (1)Miss Berles knocking at the door, and then (2) you let her in?!
Another daft thing people say: 'I wonder who that is at the door?' But how will they know unless they open the door? It does help to do that!
Best wishes M.
That was Miss Berles - she studdied as a Knockerer upperer at Yale.
Aww for a moment there i thought it was going to be your pet dawg come home and overjoyed at seeing you.
It will all end in tears.
What will tear it? No dawg here but wouldn't mind one.
My typo.... i meant the wedding cake, in tiers.
In tiers of tears that tore her heart - there's a poem there somewhere - if only I were a poet lol
KNOCK KNOCK

You bet - you don't come any closer to the end of the line .
Nicely written Michael. Hope you are feeling much better.
Thanks for posting. 🙂
Still with post op pain and seeing the nurse for wound review on Monday but feeling better in myself - thanks so much.
Michael, I missed what happened to you initially, but have seen posts where people are wishing you good health.
Not a good episode - not sure if you want to know the details but i paste below an explanation given to another well wisher:
Within 48 hours I had a near cardiac arrest from haematoma which grew and burst through the scar tissue - the original henia repair was opened up and all traces of the clot were removed and re-sutured and I'm now back feeling a bit sore but otherwise okay.I was out painting when it occurred and looked to see blood streaming down my legs I was so lucky to have a first aider nearby who applied pressure until the paramedics arrived and then an ambulance. I was rushed straight into Resus and had emergency op in a specially opened Theatre by a great dedicated team - I still can't believe that having literally been close to deaths door with a declining pulse of 30 I now back home almost where I started. My wife and family have been great supporting me throughout and dreading the worse. I can't describe the amount of blood lost - all - yes all - my clothes had to be cut away - It was not a day for dignity>.
Oh, Michael, that's horrible. Yet, you were blessed and given another day to write your incredible poems. You take care of yourself and best wishes. 🙂

Can't believe it is now 7 days ago - still some pain - thanks so much for your wishes - they are so appreciated.
