Oh and International Repeat Day

Here's today's guest poet, Lynda McCraight, who's on it with a sonnet !!

They Came Back Each Year to Lay Flowers

  

They came back each year to lay flowers

At the spot where Ron bade farewell to life.

His abandoned wife and child spent hours

Trying to grasp the reason for the knife.

Paul and Jane the neighbors stood and watched them

Each one of them knew Ron, a real good friend.

Life’s jewel box had lost its diadem

Though there was nothing bright about Ron’s end.

He’d left, that icy morn, to pick some sprouts,

And placed in his thick belt his trusty knife,

And, just in case there should be any doubts,

He left a written note for his good wife.

Alas! The note fell into the scuttle -

Leaving wife to ponder Ron’s rebuttal.

Happy International Repeat Day

Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat........Repeat Day is your opportunity to do things over and over again. Repeat Day is an opportunity to do things over and over again.

Obviously only choose to repeat things you enjoy doing.

Your favourite food, movies, music or even activities......it's OK to repeat them all today.
If I was you though, I wouldn't repeat the things you hate, unless you're a masochist of course.

Question Impossible

This is where I ask you a pretty hard question.....you won't get it, unless you cheat.....!
