Honest Opinions Requested

Just an honest opinion is all I ask, thanks...

HONEST OPINIONS REQUESTED…


 


Honest opinions are what I need,


Is this roast thing a good thing, something I should feed?


Have I gone a bit overboard with descriptions, should I flee?


I really thought I had a winner of an idea, but…


 


Maybe prior to posting them, I should send a copy to the roastee,


With all due haste and appropriate speed,


So they can tell me if I need to heed,


And plant this roasted seed,


Or pull it out and cut it like that of a weed…


 


So, any honest opinions would be of great help,


If you feel these are not worth the effort, I will of course recede,


Never darkening the doorstep again with jokes about others, I hereby concede…


          THANKS FOR YOUR OPINIONS!

You already have my opinion, Eddie M... toss 'em up and see where they land.. there's damned little fun going on these days... you've proven you have a kind heart.. now bring that hammer down! And don't spoil the surprise showing anyone.. just go for it! Just remember, they aren't meant to hurt.. but to cause giggles. More... more... wheeeeeeee! katy xox.

We had a similar experience, Ed, in one of our local poetry groups. I think that when it's all done in fun, and the people realize that from the beginning, nasty feelings tend to subside, or not even pop up at all. What I love about your writing is that it is always unpredictable, a bit raw, not meant for everyone, and honestly, if you say a bad thing about me I will jump thru this computer screen and give you the worst pimp slappin' you ever encountered.

Then I'd give you a big ol' kiss on your balding head. LOL

By the way, I have this motto that may help you too. . . "don't start none, won't be none."

Smooches,

Ed, in all honesty, I feel the roast are fine, for to be roasted is to be shown honor in a good humored way...so Ed, roast till toast.

I love 'em don't stop, roast me roast me again, and again.

He who can't laugh at himself can never have stood naked infront of a mirror.

I think your roasts are fine, though you may want to let the roastee see them before they are posted.
