Hello!
How are these for a bewildering smatter of words?!
from jimpix.co.uk
Having never heard of ‘venford’ or ‘suzhou’ before, I had to spend about 8 minutes looking them up, which of course only left me 7 minutes to scribble a poem! Luckily, I was already forming an idea of how I would use ‘burritos’, and this went well with ‘selfies’… and what I had found out about ‘venford’ gave me a setting that would fit ‘pink’ in ok. The ‘book’ could be about ‘suzhou’ and ‘Theodore’ could be reading it (and somehow use a ‘tick’?) and of course his reading material was already suitably ‘exotic’!
Sorted 😉
Burritos Selfies Venford Pink Suzhou Book Theodore Tick Exotic
Wrapped up tight –
Two chatty burritos;
We took selfies
On the Venford banks.
The pictures showed
Our pinched, pink, noses;
And our happy faces
High on fresh air.
Later, we went back,
Warmed ourselves in our room;
The Suzhou book open:
Theodore outlining plans.
On that day, I think,
I got to tick the box
For “finding the one
You can’t live without”.
The next year, in China,
He proposed; wanting
An exotic, historic,
Start to our lives.
But we already had love
In spades.
Words of green
Aww I am rooting for this couple, aren’t you? I hope they always stay in love and remember their carefree day, smiling by the reservoir.
Who would ‘Theodore’ be in your piece? A companion, an enemy, some treasured pet?
[‘Burritos’ might be a cool dog’s name, come to think of it.]
What would your ‘selfies’ show? Would you be in ‘Suzhou’?
Feel free to have a ponder in the comments.
