Guernsey Poets: Double Whammy

Double Whammy - Lester Queripel

Without appearing to be too unkind
One always has to bear in mind
That if you increase the waist
Then you automatically increase the waste
The words sound the same but aren’t a simile
They impact is on you as well as me
Because the result is a double whammy

About This Blog

This blog has been established to allow poets based in the beautiful Islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey to publish their work.

Guernsey Poets is not a formal group; it is a coalition of a number of groups and individuals who wish to share and enjoy the written word.

It is hoped that this blog will encourage local poets of all ages to post their work for others to enjoy. The blog will also publish information which is of interest to poets and songwriters in the Bailiwick.

Guernsey Poets hope that you enjoy reading the poems on the blog and if you are an Islander, or an Islander in exile, please feel free to submit your work.
