Poetry - Is it What You Wrote?

A little ditty to keep my pen whetted with ink.

tote gently upon your scroll the words

you scribed from imagination's bribe

the twits that came in spasmodic fits

with that grin of a foolish man's pride

will you dare to share and subpoena

reader's reviews suggesting you emote

in lines not fit for their neighbors goat

bravery 'tis sometimes true is the action

of a fool seeking too much satisfaction

I love it Uncle Mike! How clever! The pen is mightier than the sword, and a double edged sword it is. Keep 'em coming!

Another eye test. With the wee writing. I guess there are pests in house. Not nice, but satisfaction they can nee feel, only a life for the lonely.

Always allow the words to flow and fall where they may. Write from your heart, the rest comes naturally...

Jon, My Friend,
I sometimes speak of 'touch'...to me an almost indefinable quality in writing and in this 'little ditty' as you modestly call it there is abundant touch and wit and style and feeling, all the things that go to make writing memorable; as for the begrudgers, to hell with them, they're frivolous froth who can neither feel or create.

Jon-What we write...
Is it for Ourself or for someone else...
I like the way your muse got those strong feelings across!
WE MUST TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD! Even if not easy and leaving one feeling squeezy!
WRITE ON!
READ ON!
Blessings of Peace and Harmony, SOULFUL_PurplePassionsoxxo
I bid us well...

Goats have an iron stomach Jon, and they do need food, a variety thereof, and they might even like to read now and then, even if not, they are doing a service digesting print and there.....we have it, a whole lot of poop,,,,it's good for something, even if it just fertilizes a barren ground, from shit grows many things, sometimes a rose, yes with thorns. ha.

I'm loving these reviews. lol

Remember:
If it feels good post it, and let the reviews fall where they may.
We have had some caustic reviewers here from time to time, luckily you weren't around for the last one, he was a real pain. He was just a reader but left negative and personaly attacking reviews for everyone irrespective of the quality of the work.
You're a fine writer Jon. It's good to see the lighter side now and again.

or the spilled ink...
