Andrea Dietrich Poet Personification

Resignation Leaves

Resignation leaves.
Then inside his room he grieves
sitting on a little chair wearing just his underwear.

Resistance says, “No way!
Never will I go away.”
He is like a bloody hound so stubbornly he stays around!

Resignation throws his hands
in the air, makes no demands.
See him give a little shrug. Someone give that guy a hug!

Resistance has great staying power -
from sun-up till the midnight hour.
He’s water at a constant boil, the “squeaking wheel” that gets the oil!

Resignation’s sure to quit.
Inside his chair he sits and sits.
Resistance, the annoying critter! He at least is no quitter!

Jennifer Walker October 7, 2016 at 2:39 PM Love the rhyme and the rhythm. Love the two words you choose to counter each other.

Chris Green October 7, 2016 at 8:27 AM I really enjoyed this, the format and the rhyme scheme were well executed and fun to read.

Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 7:51 AM These are very cool manifestations, the squeaky wheel definitively worth that slick shot of attention.
