Relax, Dragonskulls, as I rarely write about any of those things (well, maybe my cats) This is a brilliant rant. With your words, I can now express my lack of enthusiasm for most of the subjects. Flowers, changing seasons, romance--they're all overdone, but let's face it, those are the subjects that get the reviews. Or could it be the member dollars offered? Sometimes I read two poems a day by the same writer, and they're usually on the same predictable subjects. Well said, Dragonskulls, and in excellent form, too. Happy reading. judi

Thank you so much for the big six, Judi. Yes, there are so many overdone topics there's no way we could list them all. Some folks like reading the same stuff over and over, I guess. Lol. I really appreciate the generous rating, Judi. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again. Have a wonderful day.

You're welcome. Gotta tell you, I get tired of reading about the same things over and over. judi

The sad part is, it'll never end. Haha. We all write stuff like that here and there (mainly to try to win contests) but yes, the same thing over and over does get a bit tiring. Have a great day, Judi.

Good morning Mr. Dragonskulls. That was a very humorous piece of poetic roasting. OUCH! You made sure almost everyone got a taste. Good job and good luck in the contest.

Comment from LyndaS
Why, yes, I bet you ruffle some feathers with this. HAHA!! You hit on everything. EVERYTHING!! Pet poems, grandmas, gardens...this was excellent and so hilarious. I imagine people are either going to love this or contact you personally because your big fat name is out there now. LOL!
Well written, tight meter and spot on rhyming, dude. You should win this easily. Lynda

Lol. Yeah, I tried to cover it all. I couldn't resist. When a contest comes along that lets me ruffles some feathers, that's what I'll do. Haha. Thank you so much for the excellent review and the giant six, Lynda. I'm glad you had a chuckle at this ridiculous piece. Have a great day.

Comment from Y. M. Roger
Well, Ron, if I could see clearly through the tears of laughter (and, yeah, that's only a bit of an exaggeration) I might tell you that you really triggered me this morning and that I will now have an awful day .... I might even say that because your hurtful and well-rhymed offering that practically sings itself with its own tune I will find it difficult to ever pick up my poet's pen again...but I can't at the moment because I'm still giggling. So, instead of laying all this horrid guilt at your feet for ending what I was convinced was to be a brilliant poetry career, I will now go back to teaching math and just throw these six stars in your direction to simply remind you that some of those PERFECT lines of veiled mockery will be stuck in my brain, taunting me for the rest of the day...!! :) ;) ;)
Thanx a lot, man, and happy day to you, too!! ;) LOL! LOL! LOL! :) ;)
[Seriously, thanx for starting the day off with a big smile!] Take care! :) Yvette

Hey, Yvette, hello. Yeah, I figured I'd get a guilt trip or two out of this. Haha. I tried covering all the stuff I could think of along the way. How great is a contest that will let me do that? Lol. I couldn't resist. I dearly appreciate the big sixer, Yvette. I'm glad you had a chuckle at this silliness. I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you again.

Comment from robyn corum
DS,
First of all, I don't think you've ever once offended me, so you still have work to do. *smile* Secondly, I thought this was AWESOME! I think (imagine) we've all felt the same way - surely???!!! This was so funny. Can't imagine many that could beat this one. Good luck!

Thank you for the fantastic review, Robyn. Yes, I'm sure some folks feel like this sometimes. I just couldn't help myself when I saw the contest come by. I just had to jump on the wagon. I really appreciate the gracious stars and good luck wishes, Robyn. Have a great day.

Comment from rosehill (Wendy)
Wow, what a piece of crap. How anyone manages to read all the way through is beyond me. I can't imagine wanting to write a poem that is about either love, puppies, gardens, sunset/sunrise, grand babies, seasons, friendship or aging. And here you have, and put it all in one huge clump that rhymes and has rhythm and works with the art attached. Consider me perfectly ruffled. Harrumph. - Wendy

Lol. Yeah, I tried to cover all the angles there, Wendy. I didn't leave a whole lot left. Haha. Thank you for the great review and generous stars, Wendy. I just couldn't pass up a contest that let me get away with that. Have a wonderful day.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
Awesome! By the way, you've been known to write the same trite crap too LOL! This is great, my friend, and IF it does not win then I will have to join the faction that believes there are cheaters among us - oh my! You need no luck in the voting since the poem can take the rest with at least three stanzas tied behind its back.

Lol, yes, I'm surely not one to speak. We all have to take these angles sometimes. Especially when I start running short on the fake cash situation. Haha. I just couldn't pass this contest up. Who doesn't love to ruffle some feathers sometimes? Lol. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the giant sixer, Mystic. I dearly appreciate it. Have yourself a wonderful day. Thank you again.
