Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Six-Word Couplet Series

Six-Word Couplet Series


Lie spy
Innocent victim dies
Novichock poisoner lies

No deal Brexit
Has Theresa May
Had her day?

Donald Trump 
He’s a deadbeat -
Read daily tweet!

Is he really the President
Donald is reckless
Ruthless and feckless

Pure indulgence
I devour candy
Whilst drinking brandy

Burning from both ends
Oops, I forgot
chillies are hot!

Vasectomy Clinic Appointment
Undoes his zip –
Time for snip!

Mark Toney October 6, 2018 at 11:50 AM Jan, your poem is brilliantly witty, delightfully bold, and represents just how difficult it was to judge this contest. I look forward to reading more of your six-word couplets.

Janice Canerdy October 2, 2018 at 8:43 PM GREAT, Jan! Janice

Lewis Raynes September 25, 2018 at 8:57 PM loved each one, put a smile on me dial.... :)

Andrea Dietrich September 24, 2018 at 6:29 PM My favorite was indulgence.

Andrea Dietrich September 24, 2018 at 6:28 PM the first two kind of whizzed by me.I am not up on global news. But those last ones starting with Trump. Hilarious to me!

M. L. Kiser September 23, 2018 at 3:47 PM An excellent piece; you're so right, too. Candy with Brandy? I never thought about it but, it has some tasty potential! Luv'it!

Michelle Faulkner September 23, 2018 at 3:40 PM All awesome, gotta love "vasectomy" the best, though most of the guys here may not!

Eve Roper September 23, 2018 at 11:36 AM Perfect for the contest.. I love the way you made you made your point Hugs eve

Mahtab Bangalee September 23, 2018 at 4:40 AM realistic views crafted in these couplets - great

Rico Leffanta September 22, 2018 at 4:23 PM Perhaps you could change, "Is he really President" to "The Best Yanks Can Do"? or you could send your couplets to Congress as proof that women can get the message across in only six words! Aloha! Rico

Paul Callus September 22, 2018 at 2:30 PM These couplets are excellent, Jan! Sort of elongated Footles. Definitely up your street. Hugs // paul
