Or

That's all she wrote

Waste not want not the flow
of con words sounding pro,
foundly diligent; venting contender
contained herein

when read a pinafore metaphor
ickly stained red, upon the
sat-upon whereon it said

to sleep my weeping sweeps
the bed to dream the scheme
it lasts post haste and lisps
post script.

Amen

I guess you're right, for this does not make sense, but I loved the feel of it and the maddening nonsense of it. So very playful to boggle the mind with rhythmic rhyming.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thank you, Vas! As much as I enjoy serious poetry I stike a balance with the nonsensical. Besides, it's fun to let loose! *s

Thanks again!

If it all made sense, then what on earth would we have to think about.  Wonderfully stated and a perfect title.

I am one to find different ways to write-- And certainly not better but at least different.

Thanks for commenting, Mark! *s
