Fly In the Soup

Good poem. I could deduce what occurred immediately. Well done.

I had to laugh at this poem - and that is good. Poetry is supposed to affect the emotions, ha ha. I'd have to work on "leave" and "breeze" They are not true rhymes. How about: He taunts and taunts, then climbs up my sleeve? ha ha I can see you having a one-sided fight with a fly, ha ha. The mind boggles, but I know just what you mean because I have a fly catcher and of course the fight is very much one sided.

Reading comments below gives the info that makes this poem live Michael. Sad when we can't be civil, your poems are always a joy to read my friend!

A witty poem, Michael. I hope you're doing good. :)

Nice write. I am assuming you are writing about an "adult.". Well, at least physically. From the gambler "You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

Oh my gosh! Someone has been bothering yout oo, Michael? There is a different poet who bothers women all the time. We reported it after being called names like "lesbian" and "smelly old bat," but admin did not ban him from the site. This poem applies to him as well. Love, Carolyn

*smiles* This is very creative dear poet ! Have a wonderful weekend my friend ! Much love, james

Sometimes writing just releases, yes? Like the second line best. Great that your books are in the soup store. Congrats on all your success and may it continue. Hugs, Cyndi

I say dump the bowl of soup and get a fresh new bowl! Turn on the garbage disposal too! Great slam! Interesting! lol...Gwendolen ")
