Andrea Dietrich Poet Footle

Fabulous Fun Footles

Smell Clean!

Sometimes
no rhymes

do we
all see.

Blogs read
instead

can be
ugly.

Some peeps
are creeps.

So sly -
they spy

like moles
in holes.

Yes, sirs,
those curs

bait lambs
and ma’mes.

Some joke
with folk

or tease
blog-ees

Don’t mind
those kind!

But they
can say

mean things
with zings

to poke
at folk;

start fight -
they bite!

As hogs
at blogs

they squeal 
to feel

like Kings
of things.

Beware 
them there.

Shy guys,
be wise.

Just stay
away.

Trolls might
one night

just roam
your poem;

slam it;
say sh#@.

I think
they stink

with words
like turds.

Advice:
Be nice.

Smell clean,
not mean!

Constance La France March 23, 2017 at 10:43 AM Andrea, you said so much with those few words allowed with the form. Yes there sure are some that make the blogs not a very poetic place to be ~

Duke Beaufort March 22, 2017 at 5:01 PM There is latitude to read this in different ways. It's great and a lot of fun. So, you are a master of so many forms and themes. I cannot do what you do and am tempted to steal it and palm it off as my own, but I could never do that!!!
