The Hag Poem by Elisabeth Wingle

I had a long comment almost finished and then I don't know what key I accidentally pushed and it all disappeared and I couldn't get it back. I will try again. This is a great poem. It made me laugh. I always wonder where that ugly old man in my mirror comes from. This is NOT free verse, in spite of what my friend Wes Vogler said. Verses two and three are perfectly rhymed in the pattern ABAB. Verse one is more or less the same, except that the rhyme is not quite perfect. MORNING and WARNING are O.K. together, and there is a partial rhyme with MIRROR and APPEARS. If I could give this a 9.5 I would, but I can't, so I will give it a ten instead.

Oh-oh I am not a fan of free verse but this caught my fancy. You have a way with words young lady I will never give free verse a ten. Lacks discipline

But Wes, it's not free verse, it's completely versed and deseves a 10.

second visit here. i still got a chuckle at the ending! ;) :) please don't come to our front door UNTIL you've used up ALL of your make-up! we have tea. now i'll slap this fun poem into my/our May 2017 showcase for PH poets. thanks. drop me a line sometime; don't forget the worm. bri :) :)

Hahaha! I read your poems. Small and sweet. Simple ideals so neatly presented

Cutesy. I go through the same routine each morning! But with coffee. To MyPoemList. I might change 2 tiny parts to make 'smoother' rhyming. Bri :)

Thanks Tom, it's nice to meet you. Any friend of Wes's is a friend f mine! I'll look forward to reading you poetry!

That's the funniest poem of the day and it's late evening here in the UK. I think we both appeared in Wes's Doodling. which I found after reading your Doodle. And I only gave you a miserable nine. So I'll make up for it with a ten here! Your poem deserves it. It's really brightened up the evening. Thanks
