 A little bit of ROBIN GOOD all over the internet

Relax and  Enjoy  --  FOR CONTEST  --

(The Merry Adventures of Robin Good) Sherwood's Forest legendary, leading man up, down, tricking eggs between branches slender, slander, his voice is growing thinner twisting, turning heads 50 shades of green Master of disguise reaching for the top archers spot, A bard, with uncanny precision, ROBIN nonstop Splitting his opponent LIKE A BOSS! Aiming arrows, where broken women sit Creating fantasies, for his band of hypocrites A serenade, of jealousy and mayhem A poetic outlaw, generously taking what others earn Wearing black tights, the hottest profile, sipping wine A lust beyond Dorthy's Rainbow, a venomous poem Somewhere, covered in leprechaun's gold His chest is cold - Yet warm from all the hands caressing this bard, He is the best, gravity has no weight on his pen, A soundless soldier having his way with his sword, Executing those who challenge him, Breathing life into many empty accounts Giving voices and self-encouragement With no time to drop down this bard from cloud nine A dissipation of air fresheners and hello's Painting pain just to pretend it hurts the person A fragile voice whispering in the shadows Slithering Secrets; From this hooded bard who carries no face, A mask of lies, taking what belongs to others. Robin of honor, graveled by his peasants MISUNDERSTOOD in every fashion, yet he preys Pipping dreams away, down an infested rat's path Shoving Little Johns hopes down the list Robin is no common criminal, just a bard Wearing a dark cloak, when in disguise taking from the greedy --- giving to the needy Thank you for enjoying my story Robin Good and his network of Merry Men 2-3-16

PDA, well since news travels fast and rumors are floating above my head. I must ask, when did you give birth to me? LOL. I had a conversation with a lovely lady and she said I have a nice mother on poetry soup. I said who. she pointed to you. I always thought my mother's name was Valerie Treviico double ii :) I love the way TREVI sounds. The ii is questioned a lot. Anyways, Lady you rock your poem rocks. This kind of greed is passed on to the fragile mind. Congratlations. CT

Thanks, Mijo (not!). lol, if so, why am I still blocked, I removed the bad comment long when Ian left. Anyways, if you are my kid then you need to remove all them poets you favorite when you first blogged. I was like Ewww, he likes my enemies. LOLOLOL. NOOOO!!! thanks for being XOOL. Now, unblock me and we can talk about everyone... LOLOLOL JK...CT, if you give more wins you will be liked and followed more. that is the way it works around here. You once asked, how can you get poets to like you. That is my advice to you. Stop giving 5-13 wins. You will have everyone making so many rumors about you if you keep your winning list short. Hugs and love. LINDA (notthe momma) lol

A jolly tribute to the legend re-imagined. I like this new persona of Robin Good ... and there are many colorful tidbits to enjoy here. I especially liked this one "the lust beyond Dorothy's Rainbow" << really cool!

A Robin who steals from the rich (in imagination) and gives to the poor (in imagination). You've taken a great idea and made it into even a better poem.

Then, when no much I understood From the mixture of bad and good, Face to face as we happily stood: I stole a kiss from the life: good, I certainly felt like brave Robin Hood, And now I still wonder how I could: Was I foul, or just misunderstood? So, I try to return it: in high mood.

A very barbed stab at the plagiarizing bard or bards P D..' If you run'em to ground I suggest a hanging by their heels by their heels from the nearest tree..'

Your superb talent shines in this amazing masterpiece my dearest sis!I'm so compelled to read this new and very unique version of Robin Hood in Good. I love the twist and had enjoyed immensely the whole story. I read it many times and a fave. Good luck my dearest sis though I know you don't need it. Your captcha says PDW and I strongly concurred. Thanks a lot for sharing! Many hugs! <3, your #1 fan, 4ever Sis-BFF Leo

A delightful twist to the Robin Hood tale! I hope the scent of its message can reach the "pinchers" of verse.
