Ah! The Country Life...Bellvue...(Humor) Poem by elysabeth faslund

Ah! The Country Life...Bellvue...(Humor)

Rating: 5.0


Did I mention dear Bellvue...
She was part of the proceedings
With a one-sentence thwack! ...
Where the garbage vat
Lay hiding.
I admired her knack of
Forgetting the present...
Closed my door,
Looked askance at the
Sky...
And cursed it blue.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

As so often Allie said it all. And then, as so often, DJ said it all. I will add but one word. Brilliant. t x

Elysabeth, This is a beautifully constructed piece. I rteally like the works of yours tha\t I have read and this is no exception. There is a humour to this but also a demand that the reader takes you, the poet, seriously. That discipline is much to be admired as much as this poem!

A cute little coda to your Cletus and Leotard (they can't be real names!) . Something Monty Pythonesque about Bellvue and the garbage and your good self cursing the sky. Fun read. love, Allie xxxx
