Lonely Lily

Poetry

Romance

Lonely Lily at the well Let me say good morning Listen to the birds today Lovely, as they’re soaring Lonely Lily at the well Likely hard of hearing Let me water you today Lest the sun come daring Lonely Lily at the well Lost while you’re still standing Luckily, I’ve got a sac of Lovely seeds for handling Lonely Lily at the well…you Letter me a warning Load your truck, pack your bags Leave the place for mourning Lonely Lily at the well Listless as I’m thrumming Love has got me useless now Love has got you running

This is really good! I love how you made it make sense compared to some other poems like this that are complete nonsense. I started reading it and my mind started playing Yankee Doodle, so I read this to the tune of Yankee Doodle 😂

Great job with this poem! I loved the lyrical flow it had and your simple yet rhythmic word choice . I look forward to seeing more writing from you, L (is that what you prefer to go by?)! 😊
