I love Dr. Seuss, and I was thinking how fun it would be to see if any of us out there can write like the good Dr. It can be happy, sad, silly, political,about Christmas, whatever gets you going I thought this would be fun......Common! Give it a try! -SEA |

SEA, I wrote this in response to a poem Balladeer wrote and I think it's got the rythmn and flow of Dr Seuss however the subject matter is debatable. Kind to you you know I am even when you're eating spam even when the cows come home even when your cover's blown could I would I there's the rub I would love you in the tub In the street and in the mall kindness to you will never pall should you could you ever see just what it is you mean to me I would be kind, I would be true I would teach a thing or two So Balladeer don't you fret for I will be kind across the net.

Oh Kethry!!! I love this! It does have a Dr. Seuss feel to it! Perfect! Was this a reply or a poem you posted? It should have it's own post in Open, cause this is fantastic! Thank you for putting this in here for me to see -SEA |

Here's the one from work. Hello I just want to say could we, should we walk today it's been a week or maybe more I know you're headed out the door but could we walk in a park together pacing would be a lark exercise could pump our heart and we must make a start could we should walk away if not tomorrow then today walk in the park across the bench in the dark and by a trench in the rain and in the snow walking is the way to go. could we should we walk today walking, walking I hear you say that's all you ever ask of me we could go walking by a tree by a tree and in the park across the bench and in the dark by a trench and in the rain in the snow we'll walk again. Could we should we what do you say if not tomorrow then today. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

The two poems posted are great. I think I'll give this a try. It's been so long since I heard or read a Dr. Sues book though. hopr I get it right. IsGona "Every body has their destiny... I'LL CHOOSE MY OWN ~Hatebreed~ |

SEA, I don't know if it is worth putting on Open, but it's what came across when I was either tinking or thinking... ~~~ I don't know how to grow old gracefully though I very much want to do so willingly see… my role models left, left me in uncertain form and I've past the norm where youth was firm and fine tho I now discern that certain facts escape me somehow so sad I could use a role model now, and pass stories past on somehow through the mouth of some kin, remembering when they were told and then sharing caring but all of this has given me resolve to let me live and be as grand an old person as I can be [now insert a wheee…..whee….we…] sometimes I'd give a certainteed look to be of caliber for a Dr. Seuss book so then I think that instead of rhyme I'll be a SEA's type of kind where nothing makes sense and then sense would make of all the more I'd shove it in a Steveadore if I could just have one more chance at the closed door, to place it on the barroom floor and take that dance just one more time and make that couple give one more rhyme and live life like it should be lived and allow me the chance to give, give, give… because the couple you see would go out to the SEA to show just this, that rhymes so much with me and what I would really like to do is rhyme just with me and you time with just me and you bind with just you and me and to be old gracefully see it not in what I see so I'll go on so gracefully on to what it should be and travel on to eternity in the thought of what could be you… and me… |
