HEY! I"M A GENEALOGiST, NOT A POET!
A geneablogger named West Was put to the ultimate test Late at night he would mutter “Where ARE you, John Cutter? `Til I find you I simply can’t rest!”
Bill, I promise I'll post (in your comment section) my poem about West in New England as soon as I can figure out a rhyme for flutaphone fugue. Thanks for taking up the challenge. TERRY
Ok, Bill, here are two reader comment poems to select from (under the rules only one per reader may be used --- so take your choice!).
Hello Cutter. Hello Mutter. Bill finds nutter --- Flutaphone fugues Fishing for togues To fry in butter.
It was west to New England Not east badland nor south gangland Where Bill struggled with longhand To write his fanfare fugue, Flutaphone Common-man Togue, Not trout but togue a la Copland.
You are very talented! lol I hope you find your John Cutter to!
I know you've already seen this, but since it IS about you, I'll post it.
Not last, Bill West with Flutaphone, For research he can hold his own. Tho music talent is overblown. He claims a poet he is not, Blaming Thornton on the spot, Who needs to learn of sticks and stone.
Bill:
ReplyDeleteBravo! That was fantastic.
You have rhythm and style, so artistic. When will your first Poetry Anthology be published?
Don't forget to use your doodle on the dust jacket. I loved it.

ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for my inspiration! I'm glad you found yours.
