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!

Actually, Darlene, it was a woman who was "in it to win it"..."it" being my ex-husband. She lost. So did he. And, now I'm "Footloose and Fancy Free" (another one of my poems). lol Thanks for reading...and the good advice.

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.

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.

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
