The Tidy Gardener (HM)

by Mr. Darcy   Nov 2, 2015


Treading amongst
Herbaceous boarders;
Walking through long
Ample grasses...
Crash!! A thousand sudden stars:
Kissed by my garden rake.

    The Tidy Gardener by Mr Darcy
    (4pts.)

    As adoring of funny poems as I am, I couldn't let this slip through. Quite uniquely you also slipped in an acrostic to sound out comically the noise the rake made. I literally laughed at this poem. Huge smiles and great write, thanks for the laugh.

    Ah...that is life just to bring us back to reality something must be in the way to whack us back to earth! Sweet.

    I saw the acrostic and can understand WACK but THWACK did not make sense to me...maybe that is the sound of rake wack :D Enjoyed this read.

      Thank you Meena,

      the word 'thwack' is an actual word; a funny one too. I am glad you enjoyed it.

    Michaell!
    You just keep making me laugh, every time I set foot into one of your poems.
    I hope your foot is now better. Nasty things rakes!
    I love your line : 'Kissed by my garden rake.'
    That is just so funny!
    An excellent read Michael! You should be on stage somewhere with your talent for penning such humorous lines!
