Trying To Kill Too Many Birds

Purple, polka-dot flamingos and buzzards frolic near the sleeping volcano lake. It wakes and rumbles, crumbling the Haunted Mansion! ~~Driving me Crazy "Failed to nail it! Poetry errors glaring! Stop pretending poetic metric knowledge! Clearly Dear, you're too near the sun!"--Well, Pluck you! Poisonous Parrot! Not for any of the contests: (Sleeping Volcano, Sapphic Stanza, Purple, Polka dot, Flamingos and Buzzards, Haunted Mansion, Plucking the Poisonous Parrot ) Just for fun :) January 16, 2019

Lol! PS, This is funny and entertaining. Not to mention so darn clever! I agree with Carolyn, she should each of the contest. If you do I think you would be on the winners list. Excellent job:-) Alexis

Funny! I can only say: 'non illegitimi te carborundum'! I always look forward to something from your magical pen (and magical heart)! This is great! Sometimes, you just have to stand up for your inner child!

It truly came from a place of my brain spinning with all the contests... and imagining sticking one in more than one contest. Dear Caren I am so glad you found this and enjoyed it :)
