Keen

An older one of mine written in 20l0 poking fun at myself.......

There once was a poetess with a thesaurus
As big as the Adriatic Sea
She hunted down words in her book so absurd
Then tortured the world with these

She wrote lavish poems about simple drivel
Using words unknown to you and me
Inspissating her plots so we would think she was not
The hare-brain her friends knew her to be

A plethora of words she abused along with our minds
As she wrote of the redolent roses
Why could she not say how sweet they smelled
Before she beleaguered all of our noses

Now her poems are a panoply of quintessential bliss
If you have any idea what that means
I surely do not and have no intent of learning
So for now I will say she is keen

This is beautiful, as you are. Through the time of life and the experience, we shall die someday as wise as we can. And grateful. Your writing always inspires me sweet sister. As life is a learning process, in all ways. As long as you write out of your heart, it's most precious, than out of rules. (my opinion) I loved this. X

You are funny and I didn't think that I would ever see this side of you Neva.

This was a pleasant delight to see. Loved it!

Thank you Maya. Oh yes I have one heck of a sense of humor. I love to make others laugh even if at my own expense as with this write. :))

Just a bit of fun. And why not? If we can't do it to ourselves we leave to others who are perhaps a little more mean-spirited.
Made me smile anyroad.

I think that many people actually feel this way and it is really no fault of your own. I have a read some of your poetry in the past and it is pretty visual; overall it is very well crafted. Although I know that it can be frustrating when one comes across something like this.

Or I just completely misread the poem and the underlying feelings in it. Either way, I like the sentiment you put forth here.
