cliff walking:
Cliff you've given us a whiff
of po-et-ry
that is not stiff,
instead it rhymes
with swell vocab
an' a word which I,
for one, will nab...
'tis "doggerel" - it's in the groove,
and tells us all
you're a poet...
...who's smooth

cliff walking: ha ha ...you've just moved this all up the forum again!!! Great rhyme - thanks pal! J

Carpe Diem your poems are witty,
Well observed and often pretty,
smart and punchy, sharp as well
And never stray into doggerel


😀!!

Heathervalley: ha ha .... I turned it down! Lol. But Dylan is a genius and deserves it. I've still got to do that sailing poem ...haven't forgotten!

Rosie. B: Fabulous! Thanks so much Beth - your last 6 lines are devastating! 🙂🙂🙂

Hi C.D.I am sure you will look the part on your Mobility Scooter,clad in yellow Lycra and of course goggles,breezing up and down the Vineyard at Holmfirth,but remember the ghost of Nora Batty🙂🙂

Hi C.D.That will make a change from limping round to the Offy for the usual bottle of Algerian Belly Wash🙂

Carpe Diem!: There's a good vineyard at Holmfirth. Can't imagine you paying for Carr's. Aldi do a cheaper version I'm told.😈

V2 - HAPPY

so 'ere ah am
a-limpin' along
laughin' 'n smilin'
singin' a song
ma plaster 'as gone
nae more to be seen
yep, ole Mr Cast
is a real has-been
ma toes are a-wigglin'
ah'm itchin' tuh mount
ev'ry 'ill in the world
too many to count
those days with leg-up
fade away like a 'mare
ah'm right back in action
wi' panache an' flair!
OH Y...E...A...H!!!

DOUBLE ECSTASY

V1 - CLUMPIN'

clump, clump
clump, clump
plaster's givin'
me the hump
.....
now it's gone
clump is no more
nowwww ex-er-cises
on the floor

clump replaced
with skips of glee
now to get goin'
with OD!!!

Bionic Man: Did you notice you gotta mention in the original poem? 🙂

Peppasmum: womble: positivity rules ok!

BUT.....

as the days tick by
sick leg starts to glow again
soon to burst anew

renewed in spirit
he strides out with aplomb as
adventures beckon!

Peppasmum: Haiku is great and this is both wonderful and apt. Love "gnarly"!🙂

Any more poets out there?!!! 🙂🙂🙂

womble: Awwww Penny ..you've made me cry! You'll need to write another one soon .."The Return of Broken Ankleman" ...thanks so much for your creativity 🙂🙂🙂When's your big move?

hillmale: ha ha ...there'll be mischief afoot no matter what we wear! Plans are afoot! And a caster might not be such a bad idea! And I'll always have ma parrot stashed away ...cos you never know .... 🙂😋😉

Peppasmum: Brilliant Tracy 🙂

hillmale: I think you're gettin' excited G - I will hold on tight to ma rum and hope the 'ole leg bears up!😉

The Mind is Willing: Claudette...that's great - I'm so pleased you wrote something! Thanks so much... J 🙂😋🙂

That went in the wrong way round!!🤔🤔🤔
it should have started off
"Nice poem CD .... followed by my little ditty Oh well that's me all round! 🙂

Hearts are truly amazing things
When you're happy oh how they sing
They help us find our inner child
And enjoy the things we haven't done for awhile
But take great care and remember well
Happy times and wreckless fun
Can sometimes leave us a little broken!!!!ice poem CD certainly made me smile. Lovely follow on Owb. It makes us all want to write one. I didn't spend a lot of time on mine nor is it something I partake in often but here's my half penny's worth

openwater babe: we do now! Keep those rhymes-a-comin'! 🙂😋🙂

Morningdawn: thank you ever so much for your poem - love it! Yeah - an OD Anthem! 🙂😋🙂

Oh Jonathan,such a delight
your words surely will
thrill and excite

now pub beckons,
waves us in,
miles behind us
sup a gin
down a beer
a pie, some nuts
getta seat
afore it shuts!
cuddle round
an' share some tales,
bawdy banter
never fails,
as laughter fills
the air with glee
an' everyone knows...
THIS IS OD!!


EPILOGUE>>>

we live, we love,
sometimes we lose...
but still the mountains sing to us,
and our friends are always there...
THANKS OD!!!
