Cherry

This is my happiest moment.
Truly happy, not just merry,
at last I’ve got one comment
and also awarded a ‘cherry’.

I write prose and poems 24/7,
some of it good, some not so
and that is my kind of heaven
though I don’t get any ‘dough’.

Every time I concoct a story
or compose a poem in verse
I shall bask in reflected glory
but it will not fill up the purse. 

I have a tendency to fantasise
that when my efforts are read
people will think that I’m wise
but don’t let it go to my head. 

Sometimes my verses stumble,
I’m confused, I am all at sea,
but I’m lucky, mustn’t grumble,
others are worse off than me.

Yes Mick, but have I hit the bull's eye? Time will tell.

Regards, Luigi

Now you have two comments and I hope it gets a cherry so that you can bask in the glory of it. Made me smile, thanks Luigi. :)

Your forecasts are usually accurate, o.m.t. As the comments have increased by 100%, I am already wallowing in glory. A cherry would be a bonus.

Cheers, Luigi.

And another comment. Oh and... 

 

Made me smile. What's wrong with that?

Another comment? The more the merrier.
If the poem raised a smile, there is nothing wrong with that, Drew.

Best, Luigi.

Luigi I have lost count of the things I have learned from reading your poems. I am glad you got a cherry, you ARE  wise, and witty also! No reflection necessary

Too kind, Di. My aim is not so much to inform as to amuse.

Warm regards, Luigi x
