EWWWW, well, I guess this fits the bill for something nasty or gross lol! I saw the photo which made me read the poem, so the photo did its job of backing the poem really well.

    Oh dear Dolly, with breakfast in dismay,
    Zits popping up in a most comical way!
    A tale so funny, yet hard to digest,
    These pesky little bumps are quite the jest.

    In the morning light, they gleam and they shine,
    Like little red beacons, a true sign of time!
    With a squirt and a squeeze, oh what a delight,
    A battle of the zits, a hilarious sight!

    They dance on your face like they own the place,
    Each one a mischief-maker, a pimpled disgrace.
    But fear not, dear friend, for laughter's the cure,
    In the land of zits, it's humor we must endure!

    So here's to the zits, those comedic foes,
    With each little pop, our laughter just grows.
    Breakfast may wait, but joy’s on the rise,
    In the battle of zits, find laughter, be wise!

    With love and a giggle, let’s toast to the day,
    For zits may be funny, but they’ll soon fade away!
    X x x with a smile, let the laughter remain,
    For in every odd tale, there’s joy to be gained!

    Bless you Dolly for your review

Seeing this picture caused my stomach to turn, which shows that your entry is right on point. Well done! The disgusting color choice to accompany it is perfect. Now, all you are missing is the perfect font. Maybe something like Rubik Moonrocks, or you could go more ironic, like a decorative script font. Play around with it a bit. You might churn too many stomachs to actually win votes, but this deserves to do well in the contest.

I remember this time I had a cyst on my chin. It was there for weeks. My whole jaw swelled up. It hurt like hell. I was basically disfigured for a while, and totally embarrassed. I hid from pretty girls. I tried to pop it with a dull needle from my med kit, which just aggravated it to grow even bigger. Eventually I gave up, and the pain subsided. One day I was in the bathroom mirror, maybe two feet away from it, and I noticed a tiny zit had emerged over the massive cyst. Curious, expecting nothing, I went for it and BOOM. Cyst juice spattered all over the mirror. Pools of molten white goo and blood erupted. It was one of the most satisfying moments of my life, at least up to that point, at the tender age of 21. Glory glory hallelujah, pus is covering the mirror.

Best regards and good luck,

🦍

    Your feedback was both colourful and entertaining. It’s good to know that my poem made an impact and caused such a strong reaction because that was the goal. The colour choice was meant to be grotesque and it’s great to know it worked.

    Your suggestions for the font are fantastic! (I made a change)

    Your cyst story is both funny and gross, thanks for sharing! It sounds like quite the experience, and I can only imagine the relief (and satisfaction) you felt in that moment. It’s moments like these that remind us that humour can be found even in the most unfortunate situations.
    Warm regards.

I read fast so I wouldn't have to look at that image! Your poem does a fantastic job of sharing that uncomfortable moment. It's so well written it drew me in despite the grossness! I I love how you've made something so gross into something poetic. Great work!

Hi
Well this poem surely fits the topic of the prompt. The picture and the words are both gross.
Good luck in the prompt
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a wonderful day.

    Hi Joan
    I trust that life is treating you well. Writing this was a strange one; making it gross and nasty was weird and not easy.
    Warmest regards

    It didn’t seem to be hard.. Sometimes these short forms are harder and doing something different makes it harder.
