If I could only think of the right word (something good, something pleasant), I would describe my reaction (something about chuckling, something about appreciation.)
Hmmmmm. Clever. Would that I could attribute my word-hunts to lovestruck-ness. Alas, I think it is age. But if I wait awhile things bubble up from somewhere! Like your poem, Mary Lee! Janet F.
Mary Lee, you've created a brand new poetic form, the perfect poetry prompt for kids! I can hear them in class clamoring for more of your Fill-in-the-Blankers!
Ok, just reread my comment. What I meant to say was that I was having way too many of these moments! How moneys got in there I have no idea! But it seems kind of perfect, given the content of the poem!
Oh goodness. I'm dyslexic so I have horrible word recall. I have WAY too many of these moments. My kids and husband have learned to read my mind and finish my sentences. I love your poem.
I love this!

ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteIf only I could

I think this could be the first poem in a collection called: (I ALMOST SAID) I LOVE YOU: Poems of (Unstated) Love. Very fun, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but it's a snarky and ironic love poem, since I HATE when the tip of my tongue hangs onto the word I want!
DeleteSo true! Been there, done that. Repeatedly! Thanks for sharing, Mary Lee!

Your poem is...
ReplyDelete(my tongue is tied in knots.)
It's so...
(I'm all choked up.)
Thanks for supplying this delightful fun.
Oh, Joy and Tabitha...This is almost what I was going to say...so now...(I'm at a loss for words).
ReplyDeleteExactly, love needs little else. Terrific, Mary Lee
ReplyDeleteSo delightful! well done, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteHahaha--love this, Mary Lee. What fun!
ReplyDeleteOnce you're in your sixties, you find that most of your conversations go like this!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Gretchen. Perfect. Having way too many of these moneys recently!

ReplyDeleteDid you know me as a teenager? So many things I wanted to say but couldn't. This is a terrific poem.
