APPRECIATION

Appreciation of their work.

No one respects a jerk.

Repairer's pointer for the photocopier.

Company values a top brand copier.

Appreciative parent fears

high-esteem animals appear

incite an apparition

Ghostbusters addition.

Traffic travels at a good clip.

The cartop aids on a road trip.

While a parent enjoys mocha,

Kids love a protein tapioca.

Operatic pirate finds a clue.

Canoer loves the blue canoe.

Finding a treasure coin,

Prince pirate sears a sirloin.

Gentle rain, grateful for a raincoat.

Snow flurries, thankful for a parka or peacoat.

The optician reads patient's chart,

The painter admires their art.

Luxurious orient carpet

sold at the market.

Copper coin worth one cent.

The charity potpie event well-meant.

Planters action over the top.

Farmers valued corn crop.

Crop rotation

assists land appreciation.

    Enjoyed, this poem . Love the line: no one respect a jerk . This challenge is very hard for me.

  • Ali SP2 years ago

    Sometimes I find it hard to use a few words in a poem and yet you have been able to use 37! That’s awesome Babs and good luck with the challenge.

    This was interesting to see what you would come up with. Kind of like my mind that goes on tangents all the time. As always great poem

    I always wonder if people understand the space from which we all write our thoughts down. This one had me spinning like a whirlwind. In a good way. Very interesting medley of folks.

  • Awesome work my friend. I don’t fully understand what the challenge is about but you seem to have nailed it.
