I like calling it poetry

23rd May 2008

I like ‘poems’
‘cause they can
be short
and you can be
easily fooled
into reading one

    Rubbish.
    Doesn’t even rhyme.

    Hey, didn’t I write that?!

    Don’t listen to Betjeman: he hasn’t got a leg to stand on.

    I like this blog
    cause I never know what to expect
    Sometimes it takes me on long voyages
    And others, it sends me to the corner off license
    But always it fools me into thinking I’m cleverer than I am.

    I hate calling them poems. I always hope no one will notice I’ve written one (and they probably wouldn’t, till you point it out).

    My but I keep very good company.

    Sir John Betjeman: Now, now, don’t be pedantic.

    Just Another Sucker: Have you been playing with the hoover again? ;)

    Michael Rosen: No, but you did write one about chocolate cake apparently.

    Phillip Larkin: Aren’t they splendid? I buffed and polished them this morning.

    Clarissa: Yes, I think I’m cleverer than I am all the time.

    Lissa: Hoho, thank you. :)

    Z: Yes, but these aren’t poems, are they? They are words arranged in short lines, with rhythm (not rhyme, as Sir John Betjeman so kindly pointed out).

    Jade: Hello and welcome, Jade. Baby po. Hmmm. Just one ‘O’ away from ‘baby poo,’ isn’t it? ;)

    “I don’t have anything clever to add to the current discussion. I just wanted to say I think you should be compulsory reading for all Londoners.”

    I couldn’t agree more… but not just Londoners either… anyone with any love for or respect or affection for, the city….

    Having said that, I couldn’t help but feel the comments to DG’s blog soooooo depressing…

    best wishes…

    I was wandering lonely as a cloud
    Then I ended up here
    I am very confused
    Isn’t this the blog all about ex-boyfriends?
