Carole Duet Poet Free verse

Back Again

Back again like a bad penny,
Like the flu,
I'm so tired of you.

Why can't you see?
Why can't you stop?
Do I have to call a cop?

Harrassment and pain,
That's your name.
I guess you'll always be the same.

Never changing 
Or learning a thing,
Is no one immune to your sting?

You talk a lot
And act cute,
But really you belong in an institute.

Whatever it is
That drives you on
Has roots in Hell and Babylon.

Can't you stop?
Or are you insane?
You just love to play the game.

Can't stand to lose,
You're a poor sport.
You're just the unhappy sort.

So take your position,
And maybe you'll win.
Yes, let the games begin!

And, now I'm "Footloose and Fancy Free" (another one of my poems). lol Thanks for reading...and the good advice.

Emile Pinet April 24, 2017 at 4:53 PM Your world is filled with imagination, sexual energy, wit, and audacity . The poem flows with an angry beat and the words say everything, by evoking thoughts within the reader's consciousness. Emile. Carole Duet April 25, 2017 at 12:25 AM Yes...yes it is! haha And, thank you so much, Emile. I do my best. Glad you enjoyed my "angry" poem. Carole Duet

Lisa Ricci April 20, 2017 at 9:54 AM Hello Carole. You are you hear you roar. I love the positiveness of it all. Yes, only the mighty Free Verse could pull this off. Everything flowed as one. You have met the contest and theme in my opinion. Well done entirely. Good luck with the contest. Carole Duet April 20, 2017 at 12:05 PM Thank you, Lisa. However, the contest ended and I didn't even place. :( I really appreciate your comments though. Carole Duet

Chris Green April 6, 2017 at 7:06 AM This was fun to read even though the subject matter was anything but. I enjoyed the 5th and 6th stanzas a lot, that 5th one made me laugh out loud. Hopefully this is fiction or maybe just written from a distant memory. Nicely done Carole Carole Duet April 6, 2017 at 8:49 PM Thanks, Chris. Glad you got a laugh out of it!

White Wolf April 6, 2017 at 2:00 AM I hope this was intentionally funny! Haha. I especially LOVE the 4th and 5th stanzas! Great job and best of luck. Carole Duet April 6, 2017 at 8:44 PM Thanks, Budgie! (wink, wink!) lol
