One Word - Love comic poem 411 by Angela Lansbury

Happy Birthday plate at restaurant. Photo by Trevor Sharot. Copyright.


I've just one word

Which I'll repeat

At home, in bed

And in the street


When I'm moody

Look black as coal

You make me whole

You lift my soul


Sometimes you ask

What's here for me?

If you feel sad

I'll set you free


But I am sure

That's you'll soon see

That I love you

And you love me


When I'm moody

And black as coal

You make me whole

You lift my soul


That's why you are

My better half

When I am cross

You make me laugh


You've just one word

Which you repeat

At home, in bed

And in the street.


What is that word

Like sun above

A simple word

That word is love.

I watched the Eurovision contest. They brought back three members of once winners ABBA. THye have a one word name.  Easy to type and say. Their hits were easy to sing along to and remember. One or two word ditles. Waterloo. Dancing Queen. Positive, triumphant messages.

Pantoum on Sleeping and Siesta comic poem 344 by Angela Lansbury



 I want to work

But my eyes shut

I should not shirk

Stuck in a rut


But my eyes shut

I jerk awake

Stuck in a rut

Woke at daybreak


I jerk awake

I do my best

Woke at daybreak

I need some rest


I do my best

Fight thoughts that keep

I need some rest

I need to sleep


Fight thoughts that keep

Me up since dawn

I need to sleep

Don't speak, just yawn


Me up since dawn

Snooze through daylight

Don't speak just yawn

I'll sleep at night


Snooze through daylight

I should not shirk

I'll sleep at night

I want to work.
