Jeff Kyser Poet Verse

Southern Girl

Devoted,
he cherishes
his sweet,
young Anna Sprowls.
She refuses to
say yes and
Smith is
despondent,
churning
deep down in
his bowels.
Backed in a corner,
she at last finally
howls:
monogrammed towels!

Indiana Shaw March 26, 2022 at 3:38 PM Jeff, I never got to read, Edward’s black cat poem, but, would separates bathrooms also be a bit of a help here . . . ; ) Indiana Shaw March 26, 2022 at 6:27 PM For a short daft moment, I thought the cat and it's owner had been using the same towel . . . *o* Indiana Shaw March 26, 2022 at 6:24 PM Aha, well, you sure gave it a good shot, Jeff ; ) Jeff Kyser March 26, 2022 at 3:48 PM I noticed the black cat poem was a Yalto, that’s the unusual format.

L Milton Hankins March 26, 2022 at 8:42 AM Clever and exceptionally well-written, Jeff. I've never tried this form. Perhaps I should. It looks interesting. You've done a nice job with it. Jeff Kyser March 26, 2022 at 8:48 AM Thanks, Milt. My daughter and wife were talking about towels this morning and I saw Edward’s black cat poem…
