Exceptional

What a delightful entry in the twenty word poem contest. Effortlessly charming (at least you've made it seem so.) The rest of us need to look to our laurels. The best of luck in the contest.

I appreciate your review of this micro-poem, Mary. Good of you to drop by, and thank you very much for bestowing a sixth star. All the best, Tony

Comment from Gloria ....

Excellent

This sounds like the Magical Mystery Tour. Yay! Great job with a most endearing 20 syllable poem in celebration of FanStory's 20th Anniversary. Those double-decker buses are fun, except for when the buses drive on the wrong side of the road.

Great job, Tony and wishing you much luck with the CC.

Gloria

The other disadvantage is that, instead of arriving at the published five-minute intervals, they travel in packs, with half an hour between, especially when it's raining! At least, they used to when I lived in London. LOL

Metaphor of life's journey--we're all in it together. Clever bit of whimsy--welcome aboard! Witty twist on omni=all. Good luck in the contest. Cheers. LIZ

Congrats on your prize!

Thanks, Liz. Inspired by an old song by Flanders and Swann!
A Transport of Delight

Some people like a motorbike
Some say "a tram for me"
Or for bonnie army lorry
They'd lay them down and dee
Such means of locomotion
Seem rather dull to us
The driver and conductor of
A London omnibus

etc.

I have always been amused by the plural declension of 'omnes'.

Very good "invite" I enjoyed and for only a 20 syllable poem the philosophy behind this is welcoming and excellent. It gives your reader pause for thought.
Well said Sir.
Good luck in the contest.
Regards,
Mary

'A Transport of Delight', is short, succinct, and very much to the point. Woven through each short line, are the golden threads of truth. It was a pleasure to both read and review, this talented poet's work. I look forward to seeing your next post. Tony, good luck with the contest!

Nice little twenty syllable poem. You are right, just like the bus, life is for all of us. I wonder why some have bumpier rides than others. I have a collection on Pinterest of "Life is Like...." saying. I guess I could add this one.

I've never ridden on one. So I can't say whether I agree or disagree with this. But they must be nice based on your poem! I thought this was a fun and creative write. Great job.

I admire your use of rhyming words, omnibus and us. They add a smooth flow to your poem like the reader is riding on the bus. The analogy of life and the omnibus is perfect and makes the reader think.

Hello, Tony,

You have a wonderful entry for the 20 Syllable Poem contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. I like the idea of sharing the ride of life in an omnibus. :)
