Notes About The Poem
Just a fun one.' Fudge done..LOL)))

A QUINTESSENTIAL NOTE TO YOU

Create your lines,
Both soft and strong
Make them intuitive
(yet not too long!)
The spectators require
The reader needs!
Tactile verses …
Responsive languor..Yet with speed.
If you aim to please
The human judge. You will only miss.'
To be later lampooned
O’er the slightest smudge..
Instead to prevail
Load your ballista with fudge.
To smother those and their p’etards
Also their various other senses
(until they can’t bloody budge).

"Instead to prevail Load your ballista with fudge." -- Fudge got my attention..delicious. Our writes will never please everyone...if we please ourselves, feeling we have written with betterment-purpose -- perhaps pleased God (one can only hope) then it has been time well spent. Like Valsa says, Living Words.
