Every Monday is Poetry Monday.
Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.
We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.
I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Today's prompt is Lead.
Whichever way I turn it, it's a heavy subject.
I can't eat it, so no epulaeryu.
I did what I sometimes do. I looked up lead at RhymeZone, and made a - not a nonsense verse directly - but maybe disjointed verses would be a better description. Because all the rhymed pairs are good and even mostly true. We do need a new shed ... but the connections between the couplets? Maybe it's all just In my head.
In My Head - with Lead
I'm heavy as lead,
let me stay in my bed.
The words have all fled
no fun in my head.
We need a new shed
All the messes have spread.
But soon I'll sow seed
And follow the lead
of wisdom's good deed.
My hens I will feed
with every weed
and gather with greed
every egg in with speed.
The lead takes the lead
and writes of the deed
The big and the small
It tells of it all.

Well 3.5 is either three or four, so average owl today.
Smiling - and loving your perseverance.
SvarSletThanks - perseverance - that's the positive way of saying stubborn - love it. Thanks.
SletYou did a wonderful job with all the rhyming words.
SvarSletThanks, I had a case of the stubborns ;)
SletI read your poem but had to use a magnifying glass, the letters here are so small now. Blogger has made changes and on my own blog I now have to increase the size too when I type anything.
SvarSletTry holding down Ctrl and then press + several times. This should enlarge the whole caboodle - that's what I do to mini-blogs ;) (normally I see my own blog in "Ctrl +" X 4 to read it - but if I make the settings bigger, some monitors won't show all of it)
SletIf you press Ctrl + once too many, Ctrl - will de-enlarge and Ctrl 0 (zero) will normalize. My normal font size is preset to 14 pixels, not minuscule in any way. Blogger up to tricks, I agree.
Yes that works but then it is so large I can't see the task bars. I wish Blogger would just leave things alone. When I type in your comment box, it is normal size but after it is published it is tiny.
