Bones Comments

Wonderful and entertaining poem

A nice write here...so nice to read as well

i wonder what brought this to the mind of mr. de la mare. smith's bones gone, i more expected him to flow rather than walk from the surgery—more like a puddle, no? -gk

Fun in rhyme and rhythm

Pain inside the bones, unbearable.. tony

He slowly moved away! Thanks for sharing.

We have a simple cure for that; It is to take them out.” ...... And wished him a good-day; And with his parcel ‘neath his arm He slowly moved away. ironically crafted! ! ! not sure I'm!

ONE: Again such a Best Choice of Poem Hunter Org. for this CPOTD. I am smiling in silence while reading this utmost perfect poem. He created a slightly ruder tone than Service did, but perfect for the tone in his poem. Very ironic.Keep smiling keeps one young, isn't it? He has reached a very old age for poets of his era.

Excellent. Haven't previously read it. We should all try one like this.

Walter de la Mare (AKA Walter Ramal) with this single piece of pseudohomorous poetry has convinced me that he has yet to be surpassed as the master of shocking rhyme.
