Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Couplet

Poetry Response

(This is in response to the Poem
POETRY written by Richard Lamoureux)

I make the most sound but no noise
You'll hear me alright sans my voice.

Richard, look in my face there's no smile
But I won you over standing away many a mile.

Don't I tug at your heart though we haven't met?
You haven't seen any of my magic tricks yet!

Equally at home in a palace or a shanty shack
I have everything I need, nothing more I lack.

Oh, I do fall in; and ya, often fall out of love,
But I am not a cheat, I guess, by Jove!

But here's where we fall apart
A famous person is but a spoiled brat!

What I write, I do not retract or rewrite,
I get called out often, but I know I'm right.

But on one matter you and I do agree
The power of poetry do sets our spirits free!

So here is a poetic challenge for you, Mr. Lamoureux
Pick any of my poems to respond and make me fret or vex!!

Andrea Dietrich January 23, 2013 at 4:17 PM don't ask me to join in like you did Debs here. hahahaha. (It would take me forever, and I am probably going to be watching tv!)

Andrea Dietrich January 23, 2013 at 4:16 PM hey, this is AWESOME and now I think I need to see which poem of his you were responding too. Did you grow up with English? You have excellent use of it!! It's great to have you for a friend at Soup.

Debbie Guzzi January 23, 2013 at 9:25 AM Ut oh..are you two dueling? I used to fence you know? But I was a Berserker, scared the pants out of the enemy but once the surprise was over I usually died LOL..[of course we were well padded!] Light & Love Abdul Malik Mandani January 23, 2013 at 3:46 PM You wanna join in? Threesome will be whole lot of fun! You write a subject from one angle of view, I see it in a totally different perspective. But it has to be taken in a very good spirit. And well, you are a pro! So, it will be a cake walk for you!

Richard Lamoureux January 21, 2013 at 4:02 PM Thanks Malik, you gave me good material to work with. I enjoyed your poem very much. This adds a whole new layer of fun to the writing. Abdul Malik Mandani January 23, 2013 at 3:38 PM Any time. If we take it in good spirit, it's lot of fun. Maybe, until next time!!
