General Chat

I have snowdrops in my garden
and the daffs are fit to burst
Does that mean spring is almost here?
or am I going to hear the worst.

The weather men say they'll keep quiet
about the weather forecast for the year
As last summer they forecast heatwaves
And it did not happen I fear

Do I buy some spring plants
and risk them dying in the cold?
Or even worse, it could rain like mad
and they will die of mould !

thank you for your compliment
it was kind of you to say
i like her living here with me
it brightens up my day

Stella,
I read your rhyme
And thought 'You are a star'
I can tell from what you say.
What a lovely grandma you are!

i've had to stock the shelves again
buy pizza and garlic bread
and i had to buy a set of drawers
to go with the brand new bed
She's commandered my laptop
but i don't really care
she loves her new bedroom
and brings all her friends to share

Lovely to see you all adding
to Rons old legacy thread
I know that his has gone AWOL
but we have Rose's wine and bread !

Ah Stella, how lovely for you
a grandaughter, what a treasure
You can have such 'girlie' days
Doing great things together

I thought i was home alone
Four children fled the nest
Then a granddaughter came to live
A very welcome guest

At last ! At last ! a nice new thread !,
I really missed the last one.
I loved to stop & read to see
what all our friends had done !

Sometimes I never answered,
just read rhymes, with a smile,
but always added one of mine
every once in a while.

This is the place to come & rest,
to be sure of friends who care,
to put in rhyme whats on your mind
to know there`s someone there.

It`s got off to a smashing start !
Magnolia`s done us proud,
so lets not let this disappear,
If it does we`ll shout real loud !!

Hi there Maggie,
I came on here to see
What had happened
to our old poetry


Good for you for starting
A brand new thread
I'll try to add each day
before I go to bed!

I'm glad you don't want
Political rhymes
I couldn't wite a poem
About controversial times!

I'll write about my garden
And read the things you say.
Look forward to reading these new rhymes
At the end of each day!!

"a loaf of bead, a glass of wine
and thou" to make my day
I've not got time for poetry
and I must be on my way.
But when the work is finished
and my fingers sore and red
I'll come and type a rhyme here
before i go to bed.

xx

Attagirl Maggie I like your spirit
Dont let the Whooshers
Dim it
Innnit!

We could rhyme about politicians
and bankers and the rest
Or controversial religious beliefs.
But we will leave that to the rest.

We rhyme about the weather
and what we cooked for lunch
Our holidays to distant shores
We're just a happy little bunch

So if you think this worth deleting
Well, just 'you' go ahead
Because 'we' are not going away
We'll start another one instead !
