Lesson Learned

Caught in the act his will cracked when he jacked the bus. Making a fuss with a cuss he blamed us and lied. With loss of pride tears he cried, still they fried his hide. 02/16/16

Hi, Ralph. Came back to your than bauk since you saw mine. I am anxious to see how it gets judged. About my catfished poem, I don't mind so much a bald head, m own husband is bald now, but I had to use a word that rhymed , so I was stuck using bald head for something bad about the catfish guy. I hope i did not offend too many guys on soup. hahaha. I wanted to say a lot more than that, but the form simply does not allow it.

just read what you said to me down here. Don't feel bad. Nobody in this form can say it's their best work!

you did well with this one. I am finding it so difficult. I HATE not being able to use more than a few syllables per line just to get in the weird rhymes. One of my least favorite forms at Soup but you did it proud.
