April is Poetry Month: poem-a-day #5

The prompt for today is "Spring Chicken."

Here's mine:


I’m no spring chicken
and yes I’ve taken a lickin’
I keep on tickin’

I’m like the famous rabbit
and yes dagnabbit
Not giving up is a habit



Write a poem-a-day in April.

    Not giving up could be a habit, or a vice, or a passion. I'll take the latter.

    If I can be bold
    yes I'm getting old
    But when I was young
    I was really well hung
    It's not what you think
    So don't throw a stink
    It was just to do a poem
    So I could really show'em

    In reading your rabbit rhymes I came to the end incredibly happy that I didn't have to read about a bobbed Babbit.

    That was fun. Nothing on the top of my head on spring chickens but here's one I wrote last year and thought of it today because the forsythia is in peak bloom.

    My House Loves Butter

    My house loves butter
    It glows with forsythia
    With 1000’s of lampshades dangling yellow
    Bright bulbs illuminate April

    Love it! I did write a poem today, or rather, lyrics, but I am not posting them (yet) because its for something special.
