Mellifluous

Poetry 1 Minute

Mellifluous?

I’m furious!

How did I sign up for this?

 

So sweet a word

So hard a task

Checked the meaning

Had to ask.

 

Can I come up

with honeyed words?

Sweet’s not me

Don’t be absurd.

 

I’m taking rupi’s honeyed verse

Twisting it to something else.

Light and Bitter more my style

Sacharine sweet will take some guile.

 

I hope my verse is sonorous

And not the usual terse, gruff stuff.

Best a grumpy bloke can do

That’s me done.Have had enough.

I am a regular contributor to Wattpad where I write as andrewagreen. My first two collections on Wattpad were featured. My first published book Margaret’s Story - a biography of my mother in verse is available on Amazon. I live near Windsor, Berkshire and have offered my services, so far unsuccessfully, as the next Poet Laureate.
