Pottery Highlights

No better way to spice up a blog than to steal content give another's work the exposure it deserves. These are not, repeat, not, written by me:

Toe No Mo'

the bloom fell off
the garden roses
when the puppy
ate mother's toses.

Freemont G. Bowen

My Mother's Toes

I used to have little brown pup
With sad brown eyes. When he grew up
The dog bit off my mother's nose
Then the dog ate my mother's toes.
It ate them one by one, all ten.
Then threw up, and ate them again.

I don't have that dog any more.

The Canterdoggy Tales

What eyleth yow to grucche thus and gronne?
Is if for ye wolde have my toes allone?
Wy, taak it al! lo, have it every deel!
Dog! I shrewe yow, but ye love it weel;
For I wolde selle my belle toes,
I kould walke fresh as a rose;
The dog ate my mother's toes.

Freemont VII Preston Chaucer

Passage of Time

Seeing my life from within the throes
Of reflection
Nothing can change, but still I chose
My direction

I've seen it all through highs and lows
But when
It changed
It re-
Arranged
Everything -- my heart was squoze
The day the dog ate mother's toes

Freemont Mosely

A Sonnet, or: Help! My toes!

What piquant inspiration’s driven me
To scribe such foolish, addle-minded verse?
A comic genius' blog from whence, you see,
Emerged a challenge that forecasts the worst

For Poetry.com's poor tournament
To locate lyric diamonds in the rough.
For now the Freemonts come, all fraudulent,
And leave behind their own poetic fluff.

Oh, thus must I, while typing, ruminate
Upon the untold upshot of this act.
Could some true Freemont, unknown laureate,
Be scarred for life by such a lack of tact?

Now peroration's nigh; well here it goes:
The dog has eaten up my mother's toes.

1 Was the posting of all these inspired by the saga of Bill's toes?

2 No - it's a contest being run by Dave Barry. (See The International Squirrel Conspiracy, which is my link to his blog for reasons that seemed good at the time.)

Last time I checked there were already 240 poems involving dogs that ate Mother's toes...

5 Hey Freemont! I just loved the structure of that one. And your masterful use of the word "squoze"! Unforgettable.
