Crumpled Musings

Methinks it is a hidden curse
This vain attempt to write in witty verse
To take the words and put them in reverse
Turn them to sardonic lines quite terse
Yet I pamper them as bedside nurse
With shaking head and lips that tightly purse
While rolling crumpled musings to the hearse

Gary Radice Date: 1/24/2023 4:56:00 AM I can say with much certainty John that whatever issues you think you may have writing witty verse are not shared by this reader. I'll add that monorhyme takes so much work and skill too. Soup can be a strange beast, reams of hits and comments don't necessarily a great poem make. I, for one, read many poems here but don't always comment. Keep on writing and I'll keep on reading. :) Cheers - Gary Login to Reply

Gershon Wolf Date: 1/17/2023 7:58:00 PM Your 'attempts' at witty verse are by and large successful, I'd say. At least, I think so, John. Keep the powder dry and the ink wet. Login to Reply
