Esther, this is great! I love the rhythm and music (Lamont would cringe, I know) of it. Very original and funny.
Esther, What fun! I love your use of alliteration and rhyme in this satirical expose of bad poetry. I particularly enjoyed your expression 'emotional leaks'. Very clever. I have a soft spot for doggerel, provided that it's clever and well constructed. Otherwise it's dog sh....t. Thanks for giving me a good laugh! love, Allie XX
Oh my, indeed! This is sooooo funny, Esther. I loved every word! Sandra, still laughing
I love this! I wish I had written it. I must say I love all the aspects of poetry, rhyme, rhythm, voice, color, (well, you know) . You are one of my favorites, although I don't log on or comment as often as I should. A+ Thanks, Myra's Sister :) , Myra
What a lovely explanation of words that are in a way unkind. Very well written and a pleasure to read. Love Ernestine XXX
Loved this Esther! Such a great sense of rhythm, the words tumbled along, each one perfectly chosen - a poem to be read aloud for sure. Warmest wishes Justine.
Esther, thanks for the lesson in poetry... I'll have to watch my 'd's, as well as my 'p's and 'q's. Good write! ! Brian
And here I thought this was going to be all about our Forum D.D.&D, but you have zapped us all in one poem. Ha..loved this D. D. & D. composition
Funny, clever, and vastly creative. Kudos to you, Esther! ! ! Love, Gina. PS: I think the title 'Dreck, Drivel, and Doggerel' would be more fitting, but it's up to you. Gina.
Good point, Duncan, and I do love a good heartfelt poem; you know it! Esther : ]
Only hear, without fear for all that is dear to your heart, Love duncan XXX
A new one from Est! Yeah! Very creative, you at your best! -chuck
Excellent and cleverly put poetic verse, a credit to the site.
I can only agree with Wendy. Lady E, it is a joy to watch you evolving.10 from your Scottish pal. Hugs Anna xxx
Esther, You had fun writing that, I'll bet - - - and I had fun reading that!
