...and now for something completely different.

Holes in my pocket and one in my shoe.
End of my wits and alternatives too.
Recession
depression
aggression.
Bright lights of fortune don’t shine upon me,
First one in line but the last one they see.
Frustration
starvation
damnation.
Yet I have blessings, I’ve counted them all -
you to uphold me whenever I fall.
emotion
devotion
in motion
There’s one last thing that I really must do
pass by the florist – red flowers for you.

I love it wonderful energy and passion in a small package.

Different in a good way Owly- it has a vibrance about it - I like it and a good use of the prompts as well

Enjoyable, clever and lovely Wendy.

Love it Wendy - innovative, positive and punchy

Really innovative, Wendy. A good one for submission to an open competition for limited line poetry - such as the annual Rabindranath Tagore award for 25 lines or less. It's based in India and has closed for this year - but I'd save it for next year if I were you!

Cheers, Shelley
