Disarray

` I’m just a poem in disarray some words tossed on the page A jumbled mess of things to say that never act their age Like stanzas baked in carrot stew all mixed and mingled in Nice woven thoughts on skies of blue each evening that begin Or lines without a golden crust the frosting on the side So read this if you think you must or you can run and hide There might be terms like diamond rings for shining someone’s shoes Some tiny fries called fingerlings sold on the evening news A basket I forgot to weave with verses on a thread If that is something you believe it’s something that I said A phrase or two out on display the perfect scenic view Or just a poem in disarray penned on this page for you 11/15/19 Disarray Poetry Contest Sponsored by Nina Parmenter

Great poem. I love that you don't add huge vocabulary words that take away from the fun. Not that I am opposed to vocabulary but I don't always think it makes an individual sound smarter.

Thanks Christine, I don't think I could sound smart no matter how big the words were. : ) I appreciate your visit and kind comment.
