MyLot Is 'F' - Fascinating And Fun.

On Mylot we write fact and fiction,
We let all our fancies take flight,
We focus on foodstuff and flowers,
And follies that give us a fright.
We write of our fads and our feelings,
Of friends that are feathered and furred,
We all come from far flung locations,
For this is the site that's preferred.
Fab photos are shown by our fellows,
And friends here are faithful and kind,
They're fluent in verbal fandangos,
And finer folk you will not find.
Our posts may be flippant or funny,
You'll hear of our foibles and fears,
We may not get fame or a fortune,
But frankly it's fun here, my dears.
(An attempt at alliteration)
Photo is of fuschias in my garden.

I agree with your words absolutely
And some posts do make us smile
But if we look at them more astutely
Most content is rather puerile
Of course that is perfect for this site
It is here as a place we can chat
I enjoy the way members here write
Because real life talk is just like that

@crazyhorseladycx The fuschias are lovely, aren't they? I have several different colours, rangeing from pale pink through the reds to purple.
I'm happy that you like my F poem.

While I enjoyed her flowers, I didn't take not of the type until reading your comment. Funny that she fandangled a way to get even her flowers in tune with her poetry.

I seconded, almost all the last words of the line are starting in letter F.

@jaboUK Lovely flowers and delightful poetry. The only thing I wish is that we could share more than one picture.

Oh my, I have to read it again for the third time to realize almost the last words of lines are starting with letter F. It's really good poem and I like reading it.

@ilocosboy Thank you, but there are a lot more 'F's than those at the end of the lines. I'm so pleased that you liked it.

@jaboUK Yeah, I noticed it now. So after all, I am not that too observant.

@responsiveme I think you are one of the few who noticed that my flowers begin with F as well

This was really fun to read and the photo is beautiful
Now I’ll have to look up alliteration and foibles ….. at the rate that you, pgntwo and several other British or Irish members I should be well versed in your language in about 10 years or so

There are subtle differences that I hadn't noticed before I started getting really involved in reading the many works that you and so many other Brits or Irish have posted @jaboUK it's so much fun to learn a variant to that which I thought was the norm.
I'll have to give that same letter thingy some thought, I don't have to rhyme do I? We both know that's not my forte.

@jaboUK It is! I even like how you used Fuchsias in your photo! When I was a child in California we had them in the flower beds and I loved to hear them pop when I squeezed the unopened bloom. My mother would get furious with us, but I'm not sure how she knew. Maybe we bruised them. Your photo shows many my hands are itching to pop!
