Trying my Poetry Skills

I was just tagged by the Queen of Musings with a poetry meme. She’s helped me get started by giving me the first line to work with – “Roses are Red” – so here’s what I could come up with:

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
The Queen come a calling
And Said “What about you?”

So, I think and I Ponder
My Mind starts to Wander
Will My Lakers beat the Suns?
Jessica Alba has Nice Buns
How Easy it is in Virginia to Buy Guns

Then it comes to me
Some would say it’s an epiphany
As the Dark becomes Light
And I begin to write . . . . .

Yes, it sounds like a 3rd grader wrote it, but the poems that rhyme are the only ones I’ve ever learn to write. I do have to admit I have a certain appreciation of it after watching a couple of seasons of HBO’s Def Poetry Jams ( a show I highly recommend to everyone)! I wish I could write spoken word poetry like these great poets!

So ya . . now it’s time to tag people and so here I go:

I can’t wait to see if these 3 ladies can top my poem!
