What is Normal?

Post by Peely » Sun Jun 12, 2011 1:39 pm

Originally written for the Illawarra Breakfast Poets' weekly topic of the same title.

WHAT IS NORMAL?
© John Peel 23/8/09

She asked me, “Is that normal?” as she stood with bulging eyes,
“I don’t think I have ever seen one with such massive size.
I can’t say I don’t like it, I am certainly impressed
And not only is it big, I’d say it’s up there with the best!
I never thought I’d ever see one like it on display,
It must have took a lot of work to mount it up that way.”
…Now I know what you are thinking, that it must be something rude –
It was in a public gallery - a painting that she viewed.

I think that putting twelve posts on in one go is unfair to the other members.

G'day Neville

A one off thing, to comply with the rule of only having links to poems only on this forum on the index in that section. I said I would do the transfer and I wanted the job done, rather than leaving it and forgetting about it.

Regards

OK Sorry, it just looked as if people were being crowded out.

I went to the local show and there was a guy there selling poems printed out on pictures for $ 60.00 dollars each. They were on a3 size paper.


I'm in the wrong buisness.
