Premium MemberTime To Judge The Judges


This is a contest no ordinary
As you can judge it is about judges extraordinary
Especially the ones who overly judge
About nothing, in particular, nothing at all
They judge simply for the sake of judging
An expertise they have developed over the years
And now can’t live without it for the rest of their lives
They find exemplary ways to judge

Premium MemberOverly Particular Contest Judges

Not for the contest

No more do I despair 
writing for contests with an off the wall theme
Those that want me to create a nightmare
from what was once a beautiful dream.

No more do I care
about Marvel characters who fight and kill
I'd rather spend my time writing silly limericks
for fun and honing a particular poetry skill
than worrying

Premium MemberOverly Particular Judges

Those overly particular judges
Give me a halt when I see their contests
Asking to write what I feel
In hard form plus a kyrielle
I better go and take my long bed rests.

At first, I did once, spending my whole night
Started from the topic I needed to write
Half of pantoum, I dozed off
Felt like floated with the roof
My

Lip Bent Overly Yours


Most dastardly
Executive Majesty,
we serve at your pique pleasure
obsequiously so 

Yea, Darth Lord,
we be the surreptitious, servile ones:
Leper skin publicans, publicly hiss reviled

Tonsil rear ends torqued low 
is our mealy-mouth status quo

We’re liquored up lap dogs

Always lip bent overly yours

Tongue rolls of surfeit flattery,
buttery tones of praise gluttony piled on

Nay, Imperial Vader,
we echo only your strident,

Overly Attentive

There’s a difference in a restaurant,
Which I’ve lately been discovering,
Between attentive service
And what I think’s more like hovering.

If your beer or wine glass empties,
Yes, it’s nice if they inquire
If you’d like to have another
Or there’s more that you desire.

Yet if posed by different servers
Once or twice or even more,
It’s like folding up your napkin
As you

Premium MemberOverly Sensitive

They say I’m sensitive
Negative connotation
A shroud they want to wrap me in
And put the blame on me
It’s only a joke, you see
Overly sensitive
That’s me

I smile
Positive connotations, my wile
Oh…I’m OVERLY sensitive
It’s true
The throbbing and pulsing
That makes other women sigh
Takes me to the stratosphere high
Senstations multiplied 
I sigh
I cry
I die
And lie
Open
Sensitive to every touch
To every nuance
To every

Overly Dependent

Don't stop loving me
I'll just crumble
Don't stop breathing 
I will follow
Don't stop trying
My dreams will tumble
Don't stop being true
because i love you
