Within Tent Poem by Tom Billsborough

Tom, such an interesting write...10+++

I shall not reply in a tentative manner. In fact, many thanks for your comments, Sweet Sue, for my ex-rated poem!

hahahahahahahaha===may you always find contentment in your persistent search for amusement in life. You are never found incompetent in the use of words to brighten our lives whether in or out of a tent. Your friend across the pond, Susan

If it was green the damned thing just flew over our condo and frightened the humming birds (could have been for all intents and porpoises) nice write

pH Have still noset sorted my reply facility so I have to use the comment section. Thanks to you Jette, Bernard and Robert. It came about from one of my Code Word puzzles. When I find the X I murrer to myself.. Example! Ah that means she used to be Ample but after her slimming course she's become example and, you might say, an ex-ample to us all! I think Jette's right about Latin. I had a severe dose of it as a child! Still it left me with a permanent love of Virgil's poetry.

I like the play on words in your tentative poem. I wish I had taken Latin and then I wouldn't have to look anything up..but then again, I really enjoy looking everything up as if I had no vocab. There are so many nuances to meaning and language. So tent (kind of like stretching) and ex (like going out, beyond, outside of) ...and in is the opposite. This is a great play on words. Very fun and also a captivating poem (lol) !
