I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.

Poetry 101

  • by Marisa
  • April 23, 2007

It’s been years - decades, even - since I’ve written a poem. I used to write poetry all the time when I was in high school. Not too into it now but my friend Julie tagged me for this poetry meme so I’m going to step back in time and give this a go.

Julie started me off with the first line: Roses are red. Hmmm…. should I go serious, sweet or funny?

Roses are red
The saying goes
But they also
Tickle my nose.

So, there you have it. And it’s proof that I shouldn’t start writing poetry again. :)

So let’s hear from 3 more aspiring poets:

Elizabeth
Eve
Eliza

(Yes, I picked three E’s. I’m all about alliteration right now.)

  • Thanks for participating Marisa.

    If you let the people you tag know that if they link to the original meme post on my blog, http://www.afewgoodnotes.com/2007/04/19/how-poetic-are-bloggers/ I can see their pingback and add their link to the list for link love, in return for participating. Who knows what other benefits this can bring in the future.

    I already added yours, but I’m not sure if I will be able to find them all once this meme really starts to spread.

  • Okay, I’ll either post it tonight or tomorrow. Ugh, poetry? Yuck, I haven’t wrote those in years. Do I start off with “Roses are red…”?
