Hoity-Toity

The flies
on the cow flops
in Britain are honey
brown, not black and their germs, not crass,
have class.

Self-esteem

My soul
lives within. My
God shares the same abode.
My ego is the tyler of
my mind.

Hi

I'm stealing someones else's line ..."I'm not in a critiquing mood, but I wanted to say hi."

I hate when I get no response to a poem I wrote, so I thought I'd tell you I read a lot of poems today ( and wrote nothing to anyone but you)I just felt like reading without the burden of putting deep thought into words.

I like 'Hoity Toity' the best of these.

'My soul lives within' is kind of
a non-happening opening for me.

Enjoyed the exercise!

Jan

These are cute...short and simple...which can be very fun...yet you also provide a word challege, at least you did for me...very clever indeed.

I must admit I had a problem in knowing what you were talking about.  

Perhaps it is a regional thing ... you are in Florida and I am in Illinois.  

I had never heard of a cow "flop" and had to read Hoity-Toity twice, and then decided that it must be manure or what I would call cow pies.  But that is all right, different usages of words can be fun and challenging and this one did make me think, so that is okay.

As for Self-esteem, well, maybe I am brain dead this morning or just too blonde, but I have know idea what, "tyler" of my mind, could possibly mean.  What is a tyler, other than a person's name?
