Sweet Nothings
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dave, this is tight and mischievous. The couplet delivers a clean metaphor, and the mock-formal note underneath turns the whole thing into meta-humor. It’s not about the mint…it’s about the hole in the middle. Smart, restrained, and funny. Love it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The mint with the hole.

Valentine Who?
Kevin Hulme said:
Let Mr Valentine come around here with his Pink Suit and his Flowery Talk and I\'ll set the Hounds on him by Jove. He wants Horsewhiping. And if I had a Horse I\'d do it.

With age Valentines like Christmas becomes over rated to sell more gifts that are not needed, cards that are not wanted and flowers that soon wilt and die. Good write Dave

The Ballad Of Karen the Chook
Paul Bell said:
Yes, Karens have their own website now, and they don\'t produce eggs either, but they do stand their ground, and for some reason they\'re all the same shape.
I thought your dad was going to produce the failing hen for Christmas dinner in the guise of a turkey.
Soren is polite and knows his stuff, his hen would produce eggs in the buff.

The Ballad Of Karen the Chook
sorenbarrett said:
Touché ya got me Dave. You are too kind though I\'m not always polite just ask my wife. I do believe in being polite to poets to encourage an art that is not as popular as many others like music. I would hate for someone to be discouraged from writing because of me. How would you like to be a person that discouraged a future Shakespeare. Loved your poem Dave and feel honored that my name should end up in it my friend.

You now need a spell checker to check the spell checker has got it right.
Strap up for your journey, destination unknown, sat nav not working, the world is nigh.

Cheeky Missy said:
That sounds like what my beloved late daddy used to say, until sometimes I wonder whether I should take a different route so I can enjoy the journey instead of chafing while I look for the destination. You don\'t want dyslexia, I have it. It\'s nasty. I carry whiteout because of it. As for writing poetry, study examples of the form you desire to follow and practice until you too can write in the chosen form. Or?
Beautifully rendered with excellent good humor and lovely imagery not to mention sheer winsomeness to charm. Thank you for sharing.

🤣 perfectly philosophical delivery of \"That it’s not the destination
But the journey!!\"

\"Oh damnation…\"
A googly which would have made the bowler pat his own back.

Yikes. Yeah...poem is proof you are no longer blocked. But, yikes! I have yet to have this issue that I see others having. I am trying to find a piece of wood to knock on as we speak. 🤣 Hope that does not happen again.
