I Like A Lot – Jennifer Mosher

I Like A Lot

Jennifer Mosher

Hazelbrook, New South Wales

Australia

 

I lick a lot
I like a lot
I like to look and laugh a lot.

A little alliteration
alleviates the load

after a worrisome working week.

Bio: Jenny says that this came to her during the middle of the night as she recovered from a migraine. She’s still not sure if she should have recorded it, but it seemed the only way to get it out of her head!
Jenny writes sporadically at http://jmoshereditor.com/

      I think it says that I’m an idiot, Janet!

      It’s amazing what the brain does when you let it run away with things, isn’t it? 🙂

        It’s not in the least idiotic, far from it… Fortunately I don’t suffer from migraine. Insomnia on the other hand causes some strange behaviour (and jottings) at times!

    I’m amazed,
    I’m amused,
    I’m a man of many moods.
    I pick your poem as perfection,
    I’m persuaded to pay you due…
    Respect.

      Ha ha – cheers James!

      I’d love to respond in kind, but I need to have a nap and hope that something creative comes to mind while I’m in that other world! 🙂

    Nothing like a little lack of sleep to bring out the best in you Jenny!
    Here’s an alliteration I whipped up last time I had a headache 🙂

    Cynicism sarcasms, succulent success,
    No she dosen’t have lisp – she’s just heavy on the S!

    Sausages, sardines, synonyms and sids
    It all sounds rather silly when says it to her kids

    Philanthropy, photography forensic flip and fleas
    She’s not trying to be difficult – she’s confused with F and Ps!

    Weaver, weather fever, feather all sounds the same to her
    Just like bear an beer, an bare, air an ear and ere

    No difference with the with or wife or three and free and 3
    And if you find her hard to hear you’ve gained my sympathy!

    Hidden in leading line letters……Italic Lock.

    My words have been sharpened pressing on your pages
    and come to rest in a stranger,
    a machines memory.
    the pocket book for the billions
    the directory for the seeking
    the power for those who?

    Well, this is fun! Unfortunately, I can’t add to the alliterations ‘cos I’m:
    cleaning cages –
    on my knees before
    a mouse
    🙂

      Machinations of mouse and man
      Look at him reproducing!
      Machinations of mouse and man
      Look at him dying!
      Machinations!

        After a worrisome working week
        Jenny juggles gems while
        Machinating the removal of a migraine
        Man and mouse are as usual unacquainted

          After utopic period
          nerves are now knocking
          the contraction of the blood vessel
          pulses into her eye
          noticed

          fragments of vision and light
          brow beating
          cause her to be still
          still to numb
          this
          Gentle flow words come
          poetry
          like a birth

    I think it said a lot. I get migraine too and a lot of my poems originate when I am trying to take my mind off the pain. Some of my stories come when I am having CT Scans and am in that tunnel for quite a while. Keep up the poetry, I would like to see more.
