Magpie 19


I had too much fun with this photo prompt-but couldn't make up my mind as to which one to use...so poem fans here are two to choose from-you tell me which one I should have chosen! And don't forget to visit Magpie Tales to see more poetry from all of us! http://magpietales.blogspot.com/

First Try


Relaxing on a blanket

Lazing in the sun

What could be better

Since you are here.

Wine and cheese please

And pass the baguette

with the little knife

that has the cute bee.


Another One

My palsy walsy

Busy as a bee

Wanted the perfect knife

To use for cheese.

He searched the cupboards

He pawed through the drawers

No little French knife

To be found, oh alors!.

Finally we remembered

The last time it was used

A picnic last weekend

and voila! there it was!

It was in my purse

I could see the slight glint

Upending my purse-I dumped it all out

Pencils, stockings, my evil eye and

ahah! there it was!

Ensnared by the wee little fish.
