Nailed

“Don’t you dare,” you told me, but let me tell you, Dear - I am one determined nut. I don’t hear too clear! Doing everything your way makes life not so fun. I will also have a say. Come see what I’ve done. See the picture hanging there. . . what you’d not permit? To the wall you wanted bare I’ve gone and nailed it! For the Nailed or Failed Contest of Black Eyed Susan

This is quite the hilarious write my good friend! There is an awesome flow within your perfect rhyming scheme! And the use of the word "nailed" is so wonderful Andrea! This is a remarkable poem! I love this piece of art! Great Work! Oh by the way for my Forefront poem she was actually sleeping in a triangle(or so I implied) of stacks of written love letters not actual alphabet letters. I hope that this didn't deceive many people. I tried to put as much information as I could in the poem. Thanks!
