Damned seaweed tangled round my feet ...

Dale...please can we have a new poem?🙂

on 03/04/20 @ 7:12

Ok Miss T, my morning walk was around and about the River Tees so I have uploaded a series of 5 photos as inspiration for our next poem. Let’s go back to the original rules and start again.
Maybe we could let it run until it exhausts itself. Maybe there will be time for more contributors ( maybe not but let’s watch and wait )

The poem is entitled:
THE SWAN AND HIS MATE

on 03/04/20 @ 7:32

I approached quietly and with some joy as

the sun rose o'er the shimmering water

WO Walking On

and the swan was looking rather coy

on 03/04/20 @ 9:48

Not looking swan like, like it oughta.

but thinking about producing a daughter

on 03/04/20 @ 10:46

Remember the original rules, only one line each please. Ok, back to the poem .....

Da Dale

on 03/04/20 @ 10:58

Sorry 🤔

on 03/04/20 @ 11:00

😂
The swan then saw her mate approaching....

on 03/04/20 @ 12:55

he looked pleased at her encroaching ...

on 03/04/20 @ 13:18

but both respected each others' feelings...

As they nibbled on discarded peelings..

RA RuthieA

They looked at me as if to say ...

Ba Bal

on 03/04/20 @ 16:58

your bits are looking in disarray

on 03/04/20 @ 18:32

Carpe we are only allowed one line each, please check the original rules at the top of the thread 🤨🤨

on 03/04/20 @ 19:12

Back to the poem....

Da Dale

on 03/04/20 @ 19:13

(Never mind, CD - as you can see, I'm in the doghouse too for the same offence! ☹)

on 03/04/20 @ 19:51

(If anyone is struggling for ideas, remember that 'mate' rhymes with 'date' and with 'fornicate'.🙂)

on 03/04/20 @ 22:01

😮😂😂

on 04/04/20 @ 3:54

Oops, sorry D.....
my memory is not what it used to, used to ....

on 04/04/20 @ 5:23

🙄🙄 that’s rolling eyes 😀 that’s me smiling

Da Dale

on 04/04/20 @ 6:21

Perhaps you should rename this poem 'OD (Obscene Dating)'? 😮

on 04/04/20 @ 10:42

M1960 THINK THATS ONLY YOU!!! Please note, I said nothing offensive, please please read the rules

Da Dale

on 04/04/20 @ 13:52

😮🤔 I'm sure I don't know what you mean ... 😇

on 04/04/20 @ 14:23

So...... they looked at me as if to say .......

Da Dale

on 04/04/20 @ 15:11

would you like to come and play?

on 04/04/20 @ 20:00

(CD is either very brave, or he wasn't joking about his memory! 😂 I also had an a line in mind, albeit a more risky one, but I didn't have the nerve ... 😮. In which anthology are you intending to publish this masterpiece, Dale? 🤔)

on 04/04/20 @ 21:33

Ok forget the rules, I’m bored with it now. Off you go and play boys and if you get too naughty I believe Steve will step in and rap your knuckles

Da Dale

on 05/04/20 @ 2:53

Thanks Dale for your efforts to stave off our boredom and raise the tone of the site with some poetry about the great outdoors that we are missing.

Ba Bal

on 05/04/20 @ 6:28

Sorry Dale, I wasn't sure if you were being serious or just playing along - I thought what you wrote on 04/04/20 @ 10:21 suggested the latter. 🙂
