Cliques Can Be Used In Poetry

Ignorance is bliss said the uneducated Miss Take the tiger by the tail, and then give a hiss. A snake in the grass thought outside of the box You can’t judge a book by its cover, said the ox. Like a kid in the proverbial candy store Good things come to those who wait said Moore. In the nick of time there was a loose cannon swarm. All together it became the perfect storm. Cliques are like cans of worm said a tiny newborn. But like all God’s favorite things, every rose has a thorn. Grandma said, “The apple does not fall far from a tree.” She was referring of course, to that arrogant baby, Little Lee. What goes around comes around, Daddy interjected. That’s the pot calling the kettle black, Mom said, feeling rejected. No sense in beating a horse to death, said the uneducated Miss. The grass is always greener on the other side. She blew them a kiss. There are plenty of fish in the sea, they told Uncle Hank. But now he felt dead as a doornail, he was sweet on Miss Lank. He must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed someone said. If only walls could talk! Hank lamented. His face was quite red.

Yep...amazing how cliches affect our lives. Indeed, we live by them. I grew up with them. I was reminded of so many things my grandma would say.

I still think of them and smirk, because the youth of today have never heard them.

Sometimes, everything just cliques in place, eh?
