Question:"A Short Morning Poem"

Yes, today’s another day
Admittedly I spout clichè
But that’s what happens when I’m giddy
As I arrived at work in the City

When I walked into my office this morn’
A book sat on my chair
Wrapped in a brown mailer, soon forlorn
Until I laid its cover bare

There it was, What a Tangled Web (Oh)

What a treat tonight will be
When you can sit across from she...
"Oh, look Dear...my poems...in a book!"

Woohoo!
A published poet!

Congratulations, I remember the thrill too, finding the book on my doorstep. Your meter is fine, by the way. And I loved your work in the book, oh so very scintillating.

love the meter, very controlled. good content to. Just great all around thanks for writing it

Yup, perfecto. I felt the same way when I received the book. I enjoy your poems.

Fairy tales do come true
do you mind uploading
a pix or two for posterity?
We would surely thank
TD will pay the tab!

Oh cool! You ordered the book.

The meter is fine. No charge. WooHoo!!

Meter? It is ok, i just put a quarter in it. we got an hour left.

It made my day, too. Such an exciting feeling to see one's poetry and picture in "Oh What A Tangled Web." Now, on to 2009.

Champagne and Roses all around!!!

I enjoyed reading your work. I have three copies of the book, to give out to friends!

Woohoo!

Blah Blah Blah
words are cold slaw
in your glistening maw

Your gob is a run
with the lowest of pun
I could shoot myself dead if I had me a gun

Loved it, Keep up the good work!


(ps, I know its 'cole slaw')

Your meter has nearly expired. You need to put some loose change in....but I share your joy...being published is the best!

Your question happened yesterday
As I thought I'd
shoot myself.
Then I drove
got my mail
And put the gun
back on the shelf.
