Karen Jones Poet Couplet

A Fly In My Poetry Soup

There’s a fly in my poetry soup
It turquoise tries to throw me for loop

With negative Nancy words of discontent
Or fuschia fancy lines littered dissent

Poetry Soup is for friends for fun
Lighten up you’re under gold sun

Be green seed no need to be a gun
Firing off rudely red notes to anyone

I learned my lesson in faith
Let the negative Nancy fade

For there will come a denim day
They’ll meet their own match hurray

Gershon Wolf July 16, 2024 at 8:01 PM Yup. Sooner or later, everyone gets a fly on his/her screen. Just wipe it off, block it out, and resume your journey in this, our Garden of Eden... ~ Gershon Karen Jones July 17, 2024 at 1:22 AM Will do! lol
