Poem challenge from HB.
I have never been much of a poetry lover, takes a bit too much brain power to understand the meaning behind the words in most cases but I've always liked this Emily Dickinson poem. HB sent out a little challenge to change the words for your own poem, so I decided to give it a try. Follow the links in the blogs to get to the initial challenge.
The Original Version
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us = don't tell!
They"d banish us, you know
How dreary to be somebody
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
The Mim Version
Are you a pasta, too?
Then there's a big bowl of us - don't tell!
They'd eat us up, you know
How nice to be a noodle
How steamy, with a haze
You show your carbs the livelong day
To a hungry gaze!
Silly, but fun

I'm a Poodle! Who are you?
Are you a little dog, too?
Then there's a big howl of us - don't tell!
They'd beat us up, you know
How nice to be a poodle
How public, like a dog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
somehow the nobody-noodle-poem encourages silliness!!
:)
what is a bog?
I'm Bog, are you?
Swampy too?
Wetlands, let's say,
We'll be drained one day.
Boring to be dry
Public like a park;
People on the seats,
Even in the dark.
lol... this post with its comments is making my day.
Very cute poem, Mim. Saw the challenge on hb's blog. In fact, the hair on your sketch of the previous day, noodle like huh? Be well, Suki
You guys are so FUNNY! This is great, Kerstin - a bog is a swampy area that has actually grown over with an earth covering but if you dig down you get to water, it's like a lake covered with a thick carpet of moss and heather and other plants. It's lovely actually, but I could never figure out how it could "admire" anything.
