Curtain Ring

Dear little curtain ring
So delicate, so small
Yet without you curtains
Would not hang at all.

They would be as useful
As windows in the floor
I wish, little curtain ring
We'd appreciate you more.

This is not symbolism
For symbolism's sake
This is for all forgotten
Things we often take
For granted, yes it's true
How many poems do you know,
Where little curtain ring
Is the centre of the show?

Painting Skies

She's painting skies. And kissing butterflies. She's dancing on the moon. And wishing on dandelions. She's letting the wind ripple through her hair. She's running in creeks. She's trying to fly.

Lost The Plot.

I wish I was engaged to Opuss, We'd get on without a fuss. No domestic issues, Then Opuss, I'd never miss you. We care for each other dearly, And so I ask sincerely: Can I marry this paw print app.

I love the way you wrap me up. I love the warmth you give me. I love the way you release when I get to hot. I love the way you comfort me when I'm ill. I love you because you're always there.

The Bucket

In a bucket, sent this morning, in the post, first class (Sorry to boast), There were a few stars, Maybe three at the most. Two cherries, I don't know why, Why would I need berries. Make a berry pie.

Hey Nom! I like this - focuses on t

The tiny and ridiculous in search of a bigger picture. Just keep an eye on your syllable lengths AND your meter: where / is stressed and - is unstressed: /-/-/-/ -/-/-/ -/-/-/-/ -/-/-/ Something like that for a four liner with an an ABAB rhyming pattern would be a good starting point or to work towards to where possible, obviously reading for meaning! I like how you extend the last stanza though to a 1+1/2 It keeps things interesting and cheeky.

@Zoodark thanks! Your comments help as they're useful, thanks for peeking!

You're welcome! If you want an example of what I mean with regards to syllable length

Stanza 1, line 3: delete 'the'. Stanza 2, line 1: change to 'they would'. Line 4: change to

Something like, 'we'd value you some more.' that's pretty sloppy, I'm sure you can think of something better! J x

@Zoodark brilliant thanks! I might get to work editing :)

@Nom Glad if I could help :O)

Tag me if you redraft!

@Zoodark certainly!

You're right, I feel guilty now thinking about how I have neglected them little curtain rings or anything tiny and seemingly 'insignificant' (:

@milkeyedmender haha! You should feel so bad! :)

Err... One. Haha. 💚
