Poetry Friday: Fun With BLUE Double Dactyls

Here’s my poetic contriBLUEtion to the conversation. (I have no idea why the two images won’t line up. We’ll just let a wonky poetry form have a wonky look on the page.)

Heidi has this week’s Poetry Friday Roundup at my juicy little universe and reminds us that small things can be enormous. Let’s carry that vibe forward.

      1. Thanks, Mary Lee. Felt like a conversation that needed a reply. And your comment made me look and realize that my rhythm was off, so of course I had to fix it!

        Higgeldy piggledy
        Mary Lee’s poems are
        possibly perfect and
        right on the mark!

        Harris and Walz are the
        only alternative–
        we don’t want a country
        that’s hateful and dark.

  3. The choice is clear, for sure. As someone who doesn’t expect *anybody* to be perfect (and knows that what would be perfect for me wouldn’t be perfect for you, and vice versa), I am eager to vote blue.

  4. ContriBLUEtion hee hee hee! I’m glad you shared these out. I’d like to try some double dactyls in this vein but I feel that maximum fun may already have been reached! I’ll write some postcards instead.

  5. Oh, I had to try, Mary Lee. I love your double-dactyls, and then, Buffy, I love yours, too. Cheerleaders unite! Here’s what I did:

    Naturally admirable,

    Then uncontestable;

    The words you have given

    Make my eyes smart.

    If wishes were horses,

    we’d have more divorces

    amongst Maga voters,

    who’d ride off to depart.

  7. Mary Lee, I’m on the side of blue with you. Unfortunately,y husband and son are Trumpies because they think on a different level than me. At least I have PF friends to talk to about the election. Your double dactylls are fun to read. Go Blue!

    1. Oof. That must be rough for you to be on a different page from your husband and son. Nevertheless, you get to vote your conscience and beliefs — and every blue vote counts towards saving democracy!

    1. It’s awful. I just hope that the whole thing keeps blowing back on the Magas and reminds people (yet again) what vile racists they are. And I hope that SUPPORT for the folks in Springfield smothers all the hate.
