Make me cry
Make me wonder
Give me chills, my
assumptions sunder.
Make me bellyache
and slap my lap, not
wince. Convince
me you’re the real deal.
Mix me a drink
Hold the sugar. I have
expensive taste, please –
richer, fuller
Teach me something high
or low, so much I don’t know
We don’t have to be in sync
but do make me think.
Quick! Erase the cliché
Wayfarer’s on her way
Oh mercy: rain…heaven’s tears?
She’s had it up to her ears.
Easy on the adverbs
Her sensibilities disturb
Impress or bless, but don’t bore her
when she’s willing to concur and confer.
But no one’s responding, you lament
Well, compel HW to comment.
Learn from her, this poem her worst yet
but see here the footprints of those who tread.
There is hope for all. Turn
around, if you’ve hit a wall.
If you knew how busy she is, this
challenge you wouldn’t dismiss.
Don’t post just to post. Wait
’til you can give your utmost.
Oh, don’t ring hollow
if you want her follow.
I think you follow me, even though I can be hollow…no wait, not hollow, but shallow. I’m definitely not hollow, got lots of guts and stuff inside me.
‘Don’t post just to post…’ Love this, and the poem. Thanks for the following.
=) Thx for the follow.

Your poetry ~ music to my ears, and the line “I have expensive taste, please – richer, fuller” actually got my heart racing, what a woman it must be behind those words 🙂 You do have an incredible way with words Ms. Wayfarer.
Oh dear, Randy. You have me laughing. Oh, my. Thank you for your time, my dear.
*Pat hand* =)
I love words, but I never hope to be a Harper Lee. Think of the excitement she must feel that her “unacceptable” first draft of GO SET A WATCHMAN, which was revised to become TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, now surfaces once again to become her newest publication.
She didn’t seem to have wanted the publicity. =)
I am really impressed with two things. First your poems! They are great. Second, you reply to every comment!
Ha ha ha. Of course I’ll acknowledge everyone who took the time here. =) Appreciate the sweet feedback.
Diana
Very inspiring! 🙂
Ha ha ha, great. Thanks for the follow and welcome!

Great cattle prod. I liked the reminder that if I hit a wall is to simply turn around. Too bad I make it seem harder than it is.
We do make a lot of things harder than they are. =)
I guess that’s the question that I seek an answer to. The question of the moment, that is.
A great poem, ….good job
Ha ha ha, thanks. I had fun.
I so enjoyed this poem and its masterly composition. Consequently I am particularly grateful that you kindly liked one of my own on https://amaviedecoeurentier.wordpress.com. I am looking forward to reading more! I love your writing style. 🙂
Hi TJ. Very sweet of you. I appreciate the cheerleading and the follow. Am chuckling bc this poem is not representative of my writing style (goodness, this was just for fun!) but am pleased you took a look around. Visit was my pleasure. I’d love to stay connected.
Diana
I will definately enjoy exploring more of your posts! Thanks for inspiring! 🙂
She doubtfully whispers… ‘Easy on the adverbs’ (THUS)… Her sensibilities disturb….
Great poem… cheers! Aquileana 🙂
Appreciate your time.
Teach me something high

….Beautiful lines there
Ha ha ha. Had fun writing it.
Its quite obvious in them.. Good one there
First view of your site. “Don’t post to post.” Thank you, I’m new here and beginning to realize I am in the midst of writers. “We don’t have to be in sync…” made me think. Enjoyed deeply.
Great to know I’ve provided food for thought, Denise. Thanks so much for the follow. Blogging has been nothing less than transformative. If you tap any title to open up the sidebar, you’ll see more posts on blogging under My Topics, in case they interest. Welcome, and cheerleading your way. =)
