That’s Charming!
She could charm the pants off anyone who would listen Even went to charm school without paying tuition In all likelihood she’ll probably find a Charmer He’ll sweep her off her feet and become her partner I am the most charming and choice number three Three times is a charm so it might as well be me Lucky charm around my neck, charms on a bracelet jingling Plenty of Southern Charm, ladies never sweat, they’re glistening Things come in threes and you can live a charmed life Prince Charming came along, charmed, I am sure, to be his wife Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Bjorn is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with Anapestic Tetrameter. It means that we have four stressed syllables on each line (so each line has twelve syllables). It is a form mastered by Dr. Seuss. For this exercise I reworked an old poem I had filed under humor and hope it works. I'm sure you'll let me know!! Bjorn also gave us a little free rein with the syllables!

It works very well

Thanks so much Dora! I was worried about attempting this and remembered the poem from several years back. I tweaked it and it came together. ☺️💕🌺

Sometimes luck have it that those “charming” people actually find each other… instead of pulling the innocent under.
