Grit and Bold-her

Boulders tumble crash
Crumble into substrata
Sends daisies rooting for joy

Seger me like a rock
Stone some Brown Sugar baby
Shake, swing, rockin' on-no rocker
For me ever

Offered for the rock-in prompt offered by Peggy at poetryjaam.blogspot.com. There were so many ways I wanted to go with this! and then Sam at dVersePoets.com solved the problem with a sedoka. As usual I stretched the rules a little:-)  In case you don't know Bob Seger here's a link:

    Sedoka reminds me of Sedaka which reminds me of ROCK n roll. :)

      Hi Brian!! Yes, after I went and looked at Sam's example I realized I didn't quite go with the form intent, but it was fun anyway :-)
