Synecdoche

I wanted to be both clever and funny here ( and probably fail...)

Fat books and dead poets

Scattering in envy over my floor

Each backless like a flipped crab

Full as a blocked toilet and

Only half as wise; so bang out

The rhymes; may have to slip down

The cold stairs and scribble

Out the dog`s dinner; missed again.

Reviews

Very sophisticated in form and content. I commend your writing style, Leslie. You really do have a flair for writing.

[Tina Kline]

Yes indeed, very clever and skillfully done.
It was fun to read!

[Frieda P]

Ha, clever indeed, I got a kick out of 'full as a blocked toilet and only half as wise'...nice way of saying you're bloody full of it....I might have to steal that one from you Leslie.

[Archangel Gabriel]

Very clever use of the alternative metaphor in a very humour filled piece Leslie

[AYVID N]

Thoroughly enjoyed the poem.

[Mark]

Lol very clever. I like the crab image especially
