Image: Dancing with a Fur Seal (here)
Gregarious and gracious
had the gumption to grit
a grubby self in a grueling show
of grandiose gyration
Dancing in dainty movements
a debut to attract the demure dame
undaunted
Must be more immaculate to impart
an impeccable personality
to incite excitement next time

Humorous Hank - He must be slicker next time...
ReplyDeleteOMG, is there a fire tale about embracing a seal? Wondrous, yet macabre, so cleverly alliterate, so naughty & imaginative; just too much mirth for this old poet to hold back; smile, chortle, guffaw. I like the lines /a debut to attract the demure dame/undaunted/.
ReplyDeleteComing from Glenn Hank feels so elated. Hank will try something with humor perhaps a little naughty yes, but clean. Thanks Glenn!
DeleteHank
I wonder how well a seal can really dance?
ReplyDeleteWell I never thought of dancing with the seal Hank ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining our first Quadrille at D'verse ~ Have a good week ~
A delightful blend of prompts. That would be an amazing dance.
ReplyDeleteRegarding comment: I have deleted nothing important. Early on I was unclear about copyright uses of pictures so I deleted anything that was not mine or did not give credit to...if that makes sense. I do use draft a lot. Some I save and work on but usually if the words don't come the way I want, I do delete the piece...like tearing pages out of an old journal. Shouldn't do it but I do.
May not want to be so stiff next time haha
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun poem to go along with a fun photo! Enjoyed the dainty dance.
ReplyDeletei love the alliteration...
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange picture! You certainly put your 'g', 'd' and 'i' words to work here.
ReplyDelete:)
Strange picture indeed, and the verse made me wonder if you had had alphabet soup for lunch. :D
ReplyDeleteI read this poem aloud the second time...and realized...it's a quick step! Love the alliteration and the rhythm it adds.
ReplyDeletesuch a happy and light-hearted read.
ReplyDeletei love the repetition here of the word sounds, allows for a quick-flowing read.
So well done within the form....loved the alliteration.

I wonder just how dainty your dancing can be with a seal...not so much I would imagine. Fun poem, Hank, and too funny of a photo.
ReplyDeleteWow! A twist of the tongue written to perfection.
ReplyDeleteThe fate of seal and the damsel..........................
ReplyDeleteMost unusal topic but excellently written and a joy to read. Well done Hank.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
A fun read, Hank. I'm liking your 'impeccable personality' but I won't hold my breath for seeing more.
ReplyDelete..
Sometimes even when out of our element we can cause wonderment :)
ReplyDeletethe sounds and lines ...all so perfectly matching...the picture adds a lot!
