Quote The Raven - A Parody

^{April Poetry Month - Poem 30}

Once upon an April dreary, my approaching somewhat leary

Whether I should take the challenge of the Hubs quaint rhyming lore

While I nodded, nearly napping , my fingers swiftly tapping

My heart was gently rapping like it never rapped before



Presently, my thoughts grew stronger, hesitating then no longer

Notes of rhyme began to scatter on my desk and on the floor

30/30 was beguiling and at first it kept me smiling

The poetic juices flowing, inspiration did outpour



The prize of consolation was the comments adulation

Then a writer’s block came stealing, and on my nerves it wore

I say, without defending, to hubbers no offending

Elated that it’s ending, quote the raven

Nevermore!
