Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

I'd Rather You be Miffed

        I’d rather you be miffed
           than irritated, vexed
              bothered or annoyed

        For if you are only miffed
           we’ll kiss and make up 
               ~ lickety-swift

David Crandall June 19, 2025 at 6:39 PM haha, miffed comes with kissing and making up, that sounds better!

Maria Williams June 19, 2025 at 4:26 AM Dear Gershon,this is charming and playful! I love the clever use of escalating emotions and how you pull it back with such a sweet, affectionate twist at the end. "Lickety-swift" made me smile—such a fun and tender finish!..Hugs
