To Starrgazer:   re:  Poetry Ping Pong


Yes I'm game to playing ping pong
using sober verse or sing song
short as Haiku's lines or real long,
doesn't matter much to me.
For the joy of good expression
sounds to me a way-cool session
of which who could voice discretion?
So I say "Yea, let it be!"
We shall use our tongues as paddles,
nay, our keyboard as it rattles
to engage the friendly battles
in which everyone will win.
Pelting verses 'cross the "net"
sounds super fun.  I say "You bet"!
I'll wait to hear you just say "let
the ping of ponging now begin!


I'd love to play!
Can I, Can I, Can I?

Yes, yes!! you may play
Soon a serve will come your way
grab a pen in hand or maybe a keyboard
All forms of poetry are accepted, rest assured
We need more players, so tell a friend
Maybe we can make this ping pong never end!
Bouncing across the net words from our heart
Soon, soon my friend the games will start!!

Here I am the moderator,
Wish I'd thought of this,
But rest assured we'll all have fun,
Playing hit and miss.
