Rhyming Acrostic (At Briansodes suggestion)

MsMermaid

olling on the river is a good way to start

appy rhyming makes a happy heart.

ou ought to try it for yourself.

y talent ain't gonna lie on the shelf.

nspiring poetic friends make it easy.

ow is this rhyme starting to sound a bit cheesy?

ood grief! I think I'm rambling on.

 

fter a few more words I'm gone.

razy to try and rhyme each line.

ewarding, however. Am I doing fine?

h hush. I don't want to hear the truth.

ell me a lie from your ticket booth.

ime's awasting. Let's end this thing.

've one last line in this

hallenging fling!

 

Yay! I did it, Brian

    THANKS MERMAID - Love you photo - you look very happy ! Thanks for taking up the challenge. Your rhyming couplets give the poem great flow and rhythm. I liked the way you carried the "rhyme = ON" from line 7 in stanza 1 to live 1 in stanza 2 (= GONE) ! Yay ! you did fine - BRIAN

    I enjoyed this thoroughly. Bravo, my fellow aspiring poet, Bravo.

      Thank you. One never gets too old to try something new. I tried something new on my 65th birthday. I had a tatoo put on the back of each hand so I could admire them while driving, only to learn after the fact that I'd chosen one of the most painful places to get tatooed. I still love my dragonfly and lady bug.

      Really enjoyed reading your work! Very inspiring and has inspired me to push forward with a few more of my own ideas.
