Off with his head!

oh, just a little jest

vain is the jester
all he wants is the crown
incidents of treachery
liars and leches abound
lose tongues licking their lips
awaiting the death of the king
never suspecting a thing
courtesy eludes him
observation is his foe
unreality will be discovered
resting comfortably for now
till his guilt be found.

A brilliant acrostic, KL! You are so clever! Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

thank you so much. coincidental, I am sure ...:)

[Lydia Shutter]

do you have a bridge to sell me too? LOL

[Lyn Anderson]

Yep, right down the street from me, and it is exactly the price of my mortgage ...

[Lydia Shutter]

Laughing here....have a good evening, KL

[Bright Ocean Star]

I love suggestions of the middle ages, and this one is very appropriate and well done. Nice verses, KLG!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much. I tried to put it out there for those who were paying attention.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Oh, I think you got our attention....you and the serenading pickle! :)

[MomzillaNC]

Spell out that name! Well done.

[Lyn Anderson]

What? Who me? I know not of what you speak ...:)

[MomzillaNC]

Sniggering up my sleeve…

[Lyn Anderson]

I handed his head on a silver platter to all who were paying attention -- this was written in July. Why is he still here? Or at least, why hasn't everyone blocked and deleted him?

[MomzillaNC]

Post his plagiarized offerings with links to the poets from whom he stole.

[Lyn Anderson]

That is on the Forum for those who care to look.

[MomzillaNC]

Are all the writers he's plagiarized taking their proof to the developers?

[MomzillaNC]

After all, plagiarism is a crime.

[Lyn Anderson]

It is posted on the forum, so far admin took one poem down, and the perpetrator has been self deleting and recreating new ids -- why it is tolerated is anyone's guess. But Goodness me, if you put up a sex reference without a MATURE tag, then they will be after you lickity split.

[MomzillaNC]

That's always the way. The only way the developers are going to act, is if each incident is specifically called out to them with proof to back it up. After all, they too, can be sued -- for defamation, at the least -- if they aren't very sure of their evidence.

And, remember, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." Keep making noise to the developers about it from as many directions (authors) as possible. They'll act just to shut everyone up.

Nice kick in the balls!......

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I did enjoy writing this piece.

[NoelHC]

Somebody may have been either watching or reading too much Game of Thrones, with all this talk of regicide. Treason, treachery, and trouble in the kingdom.
An interesting write, well done.

[Lyn Anderson]

I am old school Macbeth and King Arthur etc

[NoelHC]

Well, old William S likely dispatched more people than George R. R. Martin ever did, now that you mention it. : )

[Ruth]

I am not sure how you do it but you leave my mind reeling lol ♥

[Lyn Anderson]

Glad, as long as it's a good thing!

[ron]

Not sure if the jester you speak of feels any guilt for the mindless repeating of propaganda that strokes his self indulgent ego.

Great poem :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Guilt, unlikely, self awareness, perhaps ...

[ron]

Perhaps...

[Baby Ricochet]

Ya gotta look out for those jesters

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah, never been a fan of em myself.:)

[Tom]

Looks like there's no hiding place for the King ?

A subjective piece of poetry, whimsically penned to alluring effect!

[Lyn Anderson]

perhaps, we shall see ... thanks so much for the pop in.

[willweb]

I think I know this person. The problem is, even when the guilt is proven they still won't see it. I really enjoyed this one KLGoode.

[Lyn Anderson]

doesn't everyone, and yes, I agree, they still won't see.
