Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Mushy Or Silly

Bunches of sillies are attacking my brain
Trying to push the mushy stuff out
Gonna be a knock down drag 'em out affair
From the rooftops I wanna shout!

Have no idea which one I'm rooting for
Mushy stuff has been doing great
But you guys are clamouring for the sillies
So woe is me, I'm in a hell of a state

So free and easy, gonna let it all flow
Whichever takes over is fine
This poetry stuff sure can turn my crank
Puts zest in my big behind

Now there it goes, the sillies are winning
But the mushies aren't very far
Really love life, it's just clicking along
Like out for a drive in my car

The wind, the smell of the morning air
A hint of jasmine we capture
The absolute freedom of the open road 
Nothing compares to this rapture

Seem to be rambling on quite a bit
Losing control of my thoughts
Sometimes even I don't understand me
Damn sillies are tying me in knots

But have no fear, I WILL persevere!
Things will sort themselves out
Clicking along as if everything's fine
Till the winner wins out by a snout

Carol Eastman October 2, 2013 at 8:53 AM Dragon says don't hold anything in... It gives him heart burn... and he should know!... Or I say you can compromise and write a silly love poem... sweet but silly... Only a GREAT artist like you can do that!... Grandpa Troll is looking for more tid bits for wooing... He says one of each is fine... But he said to hurry... He wants to try a new tid bit each morning... and he said sun lights burning... No pressure there... LOL... Stop that, Grandpa Troll, pressure doesn't help him be creative! Jack Ellison October 3, 2013 at 5:58 AM Sorry for Dragon, heartburn is something I hardly ever experience... bummer! A silly love poem coming right up! LOL xoxoxoxoxox

Poet Tacito October 2, 2013 at 8:36 AM "A hint of jasmine we capture", YES! The scent of absolute freedom & solace. Wonderful! Jack Ellison October 3, 2013 at 5:51 AM You certainly have a way with words my good friend! Don't be offended if one time I leave out the "r" and the word becomes "my good fiend" ... it's age! LOL

Russell Sivey October 2, 2013 at 5:46 AM Yes, your sillies are quite fun my friend, but never underestimate the power of a good love poem, you write whatever you heart desires and let it flow with ease! That being said, I just love your silly poems they bring a smile to my face even through my hard times, and i must thank you for that jack! This is another wonderful poem of delight and humor! I really enjoyed reading this awesome poem this morning! What a masterful piece, Great Work!! Jack Ellison October 2, 2013 at 6:33 AM As always, a great big THANK YOU my good friend! Cheers!
