Todays poem uses the word CATASTROPHE, suggested by my writer friend, Angie Karcher. Angie is the mastermind behind Rhyming Picture Book Month - also known as RhyPiBoMo, which is held during the month of April. Do you think it has anything to do with April being National Poetry Month? Well, Angie is anything but a catastrophe - check out her website and see for yourself!!
Catastrophe
This
challenge has become a curse,
‘cause now
I have to pen this verse.
But every
time I start to write,
I find my
thoughts have taken flight . . .
I draw a
doodle; make a list;
or catch
up on the shows I've missed.
I wash the
dishes; walk the dogs;
or browse
through discount catalogues.
I Google
things and surf the net;
before I
know it, I forget.
Just what
was I supposed to do?
I can't
recall – I have no clue.
Oh, now
it’s coming back to me.
I have to rhyme catastrophe!
I have to rhyme catastrophe!
