Delysia Hendricks Poet Rhyme

My Fave Writer

You reckon you're a poet
that title, forego it
though you churn out verse 
at a rate perverse
and polish and tweak
cos perfection you seek 
to replace Mark Twain
but a wish will remain
I rate you no more
than a comment-whore

Yet with ambivalence
masochistic diligence
I seek out your writes
to soar me to heights
with your style unique
all my senses are peaked
silky rhythm and rhyme
your words sing and chime
with admiration I hiss:
there!! your petunia I kissed

For Vie's "Anger and Admiration" contest

Andrea Dietrich May 21, 2013 at 10:42 PM I hope this one rated high. Rereading it and seeing you won too!!So a belated CONGRATS to you, dearie.

Timothy Hicks March 22, 2013 at 11:46 PM Well this put up a lot of conflicting thoughts inside my head... that seems really difficult to write a poem about someone that you are both passionately angry towards as well as someone who you admire. You did a good job however (I wonder who this writer you are referring to is or just something better left unsaid)... I appreciate your comment on my work this morning, btw :)

Terrell Martin March 13, 2013 at 2:24 PM Delysia, I thought you might like to know that this poem inspired me to write one in a similar vein called: "Waiting for the Dust to Settle." If you like it, you may consider yourself a part of it because in a very real sense, you are! Thanks again for this poem and all your kind comments. Cheerios, Terry

Dan Kearley March 13, 2013 at 12:40 AM Ha,ha...A comment whore....That is funny! Loved it! :o)

Terrell Martin March 12, 2013 at 3:07 PM "D": I'm a new-comer to your work and this may be the 1st poem of yers I've read thus far. But it truly ROCKS and I'll be sure to come back for another dose of your kind of poetic inspiration. (Were you writing about me in this one? LOL): Sweet peace...Terry /// PS: Thanks for comments earlier on "If You had but One Last Poem to Write"

Kim Van Breda March 9, 2013 at 1:16 PM Hi Delysia~ Just stared reading your poems today-- they are ALL excellent. You set the bar high at Mark Twain for us, but like you-- every rhyme and verse on P/S has become my new addiction. I love that our country members on the site are all so talented ;)

Eileen Manassian March 9, 2013 at 12:33 PM Why did it take me so long to discover you???? THIS IS AWESOME!!!! WOW! You are a fantastic writer....Petunia kisser or not! ;)

Terrell Martin August 28, 2012 at 12:28 PM I could have sworn you were writing about me in the first verse but definitely NOT about me in the second! Either way, I Love it in a weird kind of way. It's making me itch...gotta go give it a scratch if you'll excuse me now...Good poetry does this to me:)

Lee Ramage August 26, 2012 at 11:52 PM Wow, this is really good. Well done, good luck in this contest too. Lee

Andrea Dietrich August 24, 2012 at 8:03 PM WOWIE. You did an amazing job here. I didn't see how people could do a challenge like this and I keep seeing so many good ones, it's really surprising to me how everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and blowing it out of the water. VERY good entry.

Harry Horsman August 24, 2012 at 5:44 AM This is excellent, I'm sure Vie will love this.

Wilma Neels August 24, 2012 at 2:31 AM hehe, you really went to that point that Vie wanted with this one Delysia ;) your comment on my "lack" poem made me smile this morning.. Hope you are enjoying our little sunshine today ;) I am so not in the mood to work, wish it was 16H00 already lol enjoy your Friday, love Wilma
