Progressive Poem

Oh, my word!  How could I have done this.... I have gotten so caught up in "stuff" lately, that the Progressive Poem, for the first time ever, was forgotten about!!!

I hadn't even read a line before just now at 3:30 pm Easter Sunday!  Can't believe it!

But here I am scrambling, rambling... ready to roll!

Each poet is offering two lines from which the next poet can choose, then that poet is offering two lines, and so on.

Let's see what we've got....


I’m a case of kindness – come and catch me if you can!
Easily contagious – sharing smiles is my plan.


And now I've been given the choice of two lines from Mary Lee...

I'll spread my joy both far and wide

Or

Puppies, babies – what makes you giggle?


I think I am going to go with -

                                                        I'll spread my joy both far and wide

 

So:

I’m a case of kindness – come and catch me if you can!
Easily contagious – sharing smiles is my plan.
 
I'll spread my joy both far and wide
 
And now my lines to contemplate, Irene!  Which do you like?  Either way, it's a couplet!

 
Let me cleanse the world like a rising tide

or
 
As a force of nature, I'll be undenied
 

I'd say more...but I'm LATE!!!!

Take it away, Irene!!!
