The One For Me
| by Betty Batt |
| The challenge on this occasion
was to write a poem which included ten words randomly suggested by
members of the group. The ten words were as follows; agree - beautiful - believe - expedition - forget - formualtion - grace - robust - sunshine - tripe |
It was a beautiful day when I first saw him.
And I am sure you would all agree. As the sunshine reflected on his gold earring. I thought this is the one for me. I will not forget when he gave me a smile, As I tried to walk gracefully by, Oh, I wish I’d got steak instead of the tripe For my dinner, that night as I’d offer to cook his tea. He walked up to me with a robust air I couldn’t believe my luck; He said he’d come back from an expedition this week. And would I like a lift in his truck. Oh, I hope a friendship will formulate As I’ve not done well with the man. But to find an explorer who owns his own truck. Well, this time I think I’ve got ten out of ten. © Betty Batt, November 2011 |
