Hi Bhaskar - hmm, alabaster? Nah, not sure where that would go...
Actually, you've given me a good idea. I could ask you for rhyming suggestions! No payment apart from kudos!

Hi TAPS - this chaos represents how I've lived my life, because it's how
I think!! It'#s all my own fault!

Hee hee - thanks, Mary. You tempt me to do silly ones all the time!
But I must be serious as well. keep repeating it to myself... I MUST BE SERIOUS! Boring, being serious, isn't it??

Hi Tony. this is a terribly good sonnet. There's another word
that pops to my mind...alabaster.....See where it rhymes.

That's the way some people live their whole lives and then wonder where it all went. LOL

Yes, RI, at least it did seem to suit the haphazard nature of this one!

Yes, Mary - or even better, chocolate chip ones.
And yes, i am paranoid - even Blogit is being horrible to me by not displaying my sonnets properly. Boo hoo!

Thanks very much for those kind words, Drohan.
there are often problems with using different colours and different fonts, I've found. It confuses Blogit somehow and creates unwanted spaces. Even changing the poem to all one font didn't solve it, so I gave up as I didn't have any more time!

Although the visual form was lost to that of a typical sonnet, the format worked for your content. Young man, your wife needs to buy you some peanut butter cookies so you won't become paranoid! lol --Mary

Oh thanks, Neil - it all worked out for the best, then.
(Is she another of your pretty flowers?) Yes, it would be nice to change format, but the challenge is not to. It's much harder! I was wondering whether to change to the tanka style after I complete a year's posting, but I don't think I will.

Thanks, Proc - I'm glad you like absurd stuff - so do I!
When I'm really tired, to be able to knock out any old nonsense is very welcome!

This poem was really good. It appealed for two reasons
my sense of the absurd. And it illustrates so perfectly how I feel at the end of the day when Ive had enough and nonsense words play around in my head...really good one.
