Bite Sized

Bad juju - I don't get it at graves Nor in haunted houses where it's craved Sometimes I get it in conversation From a glance, oh the degradation! Feel the love from where ancestors tread I give the living a chance, til I'm home with the dead

A very nice bite size Dilly, first time I’ve seen (bad juju) used in a poem, it would also be great to use as a chant in a heavy metal song, I digress; yes we get bad juju mostly from the living, sometimes it’s best to go with our gut, who needs the grief they offer, bye bye, I don’t need it, cheers David

One benefit of getting older is recognising taking yourself out of the wrong crowd of people can often be the only change required. Thanks for the comment, appreciated

A funny and yet artistically written rhyme. Indeed, I hear the ring of truth.

Thank you Hilda, I might do something more with 'bad juju' - took me ages to remember the expression haha :)

Thanks Jan, this was a spill over bit of poetry from my religious one really. Although I'm away at the moment seeing lots of historical things where bad things occurred and get a worst vibe if I'm stood in someone's way :)
