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 September 4, 2016 at 9:20 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. XX Jan Allison September 5, 2016 at 2:45 AM Thanks Mike - I had to google some of the words as they were not ones I use in everyday speech :-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich September 4, 2016 at 5:53 PM What a great way you figured out how to do the contest, you clever clever girl!!! This could be MY inlaw!! Jan Allison September 4, 2016 at 5:58 PM Ha ha ha - she can't be as bad as Cruella lol. I just hope John likes it:-) hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane September 4, 2016 at 9:55 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. Jan Allison September 4, 2016 at 9:57 AM Ha Ha Ha Lin thankfully 'Cruella de vile' (lol) is a fictional character and not in my real world:-lol:-) hugs Jan xx
