ReplyDeleteThis is pure ROFL and the illustration is absolutely spot on. I can practically hear the sand laughing.
ReplyDeleteYour poem delightfully captures a writer's true priorities through clever irony. The fragmented lines mirror scattered thoughts perfectly, whilst your gentle self-deprecating humour creates wonderful warmth and authenticity.
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious, Rall! I loved it!

Rall, I’m so pleased I set this prompt so we got this delightful poem! What fun it is—and I love the cartoons. Well done. Yours is the first poem I’ve read—and it’s put me in a good mood! 🌴👏
ReplyDeleteI once wrote every word to Tom Petty's song Breakdown in the hard wet sand on a beach in Daytona with a long, pointed stick- so writing poetry is not out of the question... What a fun post!
