April 29th — A Poem A Day
Never Learning
I learned my nevers as a child.
Never take candy from strangers.
Never take wooden nickles.
Never count chickens before they’ve hatched.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Never bite the hand that feeds you.
Never cry over spilt milk.
Never sign up to write a poem a day.
Never say never.

This is why April’s the cruelest month. Almost there!
One. More. Day.
Only one more to go.

Yay!
Ya know…I learned them same nevers, too when I was a little girl. I’ve learned to sidestep a good bit lately, too. I didn’t get caught up in that poetry madness. 🙂

Yeah, well, you shape yarn, I chase impossible challenges. To each their own.
Cute poem! Sorry I missed you birthday. Hope it was wonderful and hope the next year is full of promise and blessings!!!

Minky — my birthday was quite fun, thanks to all my friends – -and your wishes are still welcome! This past year has been remarkably blessed. I would be doubly blessed to have two in a row!
Never forget spell check. When did we start splitting milk? I have spilled it, gulped it, slopped it, sprayed it (don’t ask) and cooked with it but I have never split it.
The rest of it is pretty cool.

Fixed. And spell check wouldn’t have helped a bit. Split is a word.
However, I have slit milk. Put a bit of whole milk in a saucer, and drop into the middle of it one drop of a grease dissolving dish liquid (like Dawn®) and watch the milk split.
CLA so true .
Great poem

seems a lot of participants feel the same way, and no surprise.
that’s why i don’t want to commit to prompts like this.
still, your poetry is better than you may think

We should have paid better attention. Those are some smart nevers.

I don’t think I ever got that NEVER list down…. I LIKE wooden nickels… they’re cool! And I probably wouldn’t take CANDY from a stranger – but I’d take CAKE from even stranger than stranger!
Melli’s last blog post..Indiana … Moooo!
It’s good to have some “nevers” as boundaries, but good, too, to take risks and chances and stretch ourselves.I think Poetry Month has probably been that for those who did it — a stretching of mind and imagination.
Love your comment about splitting milk. 🙂
