Notes About The Poem

 

Cruella De 'Vile' - Was My Mother In Law

I never ever meant to ALIENATE Cruella my mother in law
But her CAPRICIOUS INURBANE manner was really pretty poor

Cruella was PERSPICUOUS in her opinion and she would never listen
I was just her SCAPEGOAT and many times my eyes would glisten 

I’d try my best to FLATTER her, I’d comment on her new dress
But if I’m being MALIGNANT she often looked a blinking mess!

Our TRANSITORY seldom meetings were never that much fun
We would DISSIPATE quickly, and out of the door I would run

I would GRAVITATE to the garden to get a little bit of peace
In the end I decided that our rare visits would now have to cease!

Vladislav Raven Date: 9/4/2016 9:20:00 PM Hi Jan, a wonderful way of looking at the theme. I always love the way you get the fun in there. I'm glad she is fictional, i would get myself into so much trouble if she were real and in my life. I can be honest to a fault. I like the way you have put all the words in your piece, the whole piece makes sense, well written, as always, and i hope it does well for you in the contest. This has to be a seven. Hugs....Mike.

Lin Lane Date: 9/4/2016 9:55:00 AM I'm of the opinion that you were a scapegoat for the OLD goat. I'd not allow such an inurbane creature who flatters herself to bother me. Block her from entering your home, or you could always say, "Off with her head!" Fun write, Jan. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 9/4/2016 9:57:00 AM Ha Ha Ha Lin thankfully 'Cruella de vile' (lol) is a fictional character and not in my real world:-lol:-) hugs Jan xx
