CC#44 ~ Flavour of The Day ~

 

Flavour of the Day

I sent my muse on summer vacation

Returning today after such relaxation

Was she up to a challenge or reluctant somehow

I said, “Muse what can you come up with now?”

She retorted back in somewhat of a dither at first

Saying “give me a subject, if you must quench your thirst”

I thought for a moment of a word more confusing

Something that would get to the heart of her musing

I said, “ Ok then let us begin with a word for thought

A word with a citrus tang both sweet and sour” I taunt

So she replied back in haste  “ alright then shoot”

And I answered, “My word of the day be, Grapefruit”

She pondered it mindfully at her leisure

Then reported back to me that it is a pleasure

To think back to days of chewing gum

Grapefruit flavoured, pink fun. Yum!

Blowing those bubbles as big as can be

Grapefruit bubble gum reminds

My Muse

Of Me!

  7. Oh Milli, I just LOVE READING your poetry - I especially enjoy putting a Shakespearean twist to it. You are EXTREMELY talented! I've always been meaning to ask - are you published yet? If not, why not? You certainly are good enough - hell, great enough! I do so enjoy your poetry, in case you haven't been able to tell.:-)
