My first (and last) attempt at poetry in English. For Todd.?

Morning Glory





You have reached the kingdom, Todd

With your kind answers to their questions.



No, there’s nothing odd, Todd.

You are taking possession

Of and are given accession

To the top of the poetry squad,



But read on, Todd, don’t nod,

And peruse these poor lines of verse,

Then tell me whether you are not adverse

To such pseudo-rhyming plod.



Don’t spare me,

It’s my first.

Correct me,

It won’t hurt

Me.





.....



I'm French... So be kind! I won't do it again, I promise.

Annabella,



You were already handicapping yourself by using such a horrible word "Todd" in the poem. I will have to legally change my name to something more poetic for you. Unfortunately, a name of that sort, though lyrical, would likely get me beaten up by the tough crowd who roam my streets.



I thought your internal rhyme of Todd and well, odd had very pleasing sonics...(oh, enough of this).



I hope you do do it again though--I have no doubt it would be something I'd like to read (and just think if you chose an "important" subject for your poetry).



I continue to be impressed by the many answers you give (I am thinking back to when you discussed lapsarianism and then just yesterday with Yeat's and the Olivet discourse of Matthew 24. I was going to respond to that question--but once I'd read your answer I had nothing to add, you'd said it better than anything I could have said.



Me.

I came late to the party ................. sorry. Well done! Poetry is about hearing the music in a language so it is often difficult for a non native speaker.

I guess we all need to write something in French!



Mercy becou

That's the best I can do.

Cute little poem. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Reply:Not Bad! Encore!
Reply:Magnifique, Annabella. Beaucoupes des qualites un poeme dois avoir. La simplicite, la structure, l'esprit, l'intelligence avec l'humour. Ecrivez trop plus, je vous en prie. Merci.

Pardonnez s'il vous plait, mon Francais pauvre. Art
