I need a poetic restraining order after this

I need a poetic restraining order after this

 

 

 

I wrote a poem when I was seven

and that is all you need to know of that

 

even at a young age my muse and I had a spat

then I turned eleven

 

I wrote a story

that was pretty gory

the Nun who read it said a rosary

for my soul's inventory

 

when I was twenty the serious writing started

but with words a plenty I simply farted

 

the verses stank to high heaven

even worse than when I was seven.

i just larf sir! ........... brutal honest confessions .. no doubt it was the Nun's prayers that has given you such humility. This is the bottom of writer's block .. there is no further down from here, jacob :)))))))) only up now .. I was listening to my Moody Blues album while reading and reviewing and it just ended .. it's their
In Search of the Lost Child" album .. which starts a bit dark but ends on an uplifting note. I always feel better listening to both sides all the way through .. be not daunted my friend .. your words will fly .. even if you have used them all up ... there are still tens of millions of ways to arrange them ;)

Oh you mean their "In Search of a Lost Chord"?
Yes, ends in an uplifting manner....
"we're all looking for someone"---
I just love the Moody Blues....Bought all their albums on vinyl three times because I kept wearing them out.
my favorite is "To Our Children's Children's Children"
and the song "Sun is still shining look at the view, moon is still dining with me and you--now that we're out here open your heart"
Yes, those nuns....they were tough penguins.

Poetry is a gift from a mysterious source...
where emotions live and survive many a storm of
diversity... You are the Wordsmith of humility that
gathers the accolades of prosperity. gently, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

You know Jacob, I laughed out loud when I read this amusing put down of your own work. Simply not true my dear friend. You do not produce crap when it comes to writing :))

[jacob erin-cilberto]

not sure I believe that, but thank you for your kind words, Chris...

I am being truthful, not kind :)

[Lorry]

I used to look through my old writing and thinking "what was I thinking?"
Now I just shrug and burn after writing 😊

[jacob erin-cilberto]

instead of "Burn after Reading" ha ha Clever....
Maybe Brad Pitt would know what we were thinking.

It’s a process, albeit at times a painful one. Ah poetic growing pains and yet even the worst of them mean something.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, the worst of them mean something...we just didn't know very well how to write them.
Thank you, Anne.

"There will be many a "faux-poo" before and after this one ...uh, don't "mark" my words ...please.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

hahahaha....okay, no marks....
thanks for the smile, Chris.
I'll get better, I promise.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and I have written enough "poo" in my lifetime.

"So say we all..."

Giggling here....you are on a rhyming streak, Jacob. I started writing when I was about 10. Always loved it and still do....even though the muse has turned her back on me lately. This was delightful. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

And I am sure you were already really good at 10...considering how wonderful your poetry is now.

Thank you, Jacob....not so sure about that though.

Was this really you, Jacob, or do you have an alter ego.?. This was one of the funniest verses I have seen on this site. We need more laughs like this these days. More ....when you can spare the time, please

[jacob erin-cilberto]
