Leisurely Scribbles part 2

I think it’s high time I stopped intruding into other real poetic threads in the leisure and pastime section and begin a thread of my own for the less poetically talented where I can dump all me rubbish.
A pastime of mine is to scribble down anything that comes into my head depending on how I feel at the time (All within the rules of course) and it’s not fair to do it on someone else’s doorstep, so fare de well my talented friends and I shall be dropping in every so often to enjoy your poems and writings.

All are very welcome.


Oh to have a little place along the forum road
where I could reside and lay down my casual load
A story here or a silly poem there
bits and pieces going nowhere.

I’m tired of butting in on old RJ’s
despite the kind words he says
T’is not fair nor a nice thing to do
I do apologise to you.

Serious things give me no pleasure
I like to scribble at my leisure
So if you feel the same
please come and join me at my game.

In the past or present tense
doesn’t have to make any sense
be it a poem or just a letter
All are welcome the sillier the better.

Here I sit my computer, gazing at the screen,
do the members get what I mean?

My English is not always the best,
this forum could well be a test.

I'm an American gal with an English daddy,
Hope you don't think that I'm too daffy.

AHA! A thread that is a poetry test.
Ok,I'll have a bash and give it my best.
Although my spelling's not much and nor is my grammar.
[So I h-hope it d-doesn't b-bring out my stammer]

'Coz poetry,well,it's not a thing I can do.
Because,multi-syllabics,hmm-I know very few.
Usually this keyboard and I-we just fight.
Because words come out wrong,though they started out right.

I think it's this 'qwerty',it doesn't like me.
I have less fingers than normal,y'see.
So invariably [ooh look; a multi-thing word!]
What I think will make sense will just end up absurd.

So I sit and type things that make sense in my mind
Which via fingers and keyboard so often I find
Have changed their veracity and often their spelling
So,what WILL I type next? With THESE hands,there's no telling!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles part 2

Thank you Meg, Donna, Pug, and Gumbud, great to hear your poetic thoughts, now the ice is broken don’t be strangers here, we can all do with a bit of letting your hair down time, if you haven’t got any hair buy a wig and fling it in the air.

I have a schizophrenic friend who seldom talks to me
he’s too busy chatting to himself his time is never free
One night I saw him through his window, he was lying on the floor
half of him was fast asleep the other staring at the door.

I asked him was he lonely living all alone
“No,I have a friend I call up on the phone”
Just then his phone rang, “Hello, is that me?
“No, it’s you, don’t forget our date at three.

Rachel you are too kind, but not true, I'm afraid I'm just a bit of a messer at heart.

You're all so clever. I'm hopeless at that kind of thing.
