CONversely FREE HALF-ASPED RHYME!


CONverseLy FREE HALF-A$PED RHYME!
(so you want to be a love poetry editor)

When we aren't so lofty we admit (editor!)
Sometimes complicated "literatzum" (sp -typos?)
keep truths bound unused in texts - (footnotes?)
ideas that could be sooner grasped
in simple heartfelt phrases . . .

"I love you! I need you! Oh, Baby, Oh, Baby!

My ticker's gone crazy. Talk to me, Sadie!
Why don't you want me no more, My Lady?
No romancing! Was it my breath, maybe?"

Please go write these ad infinitum! (warn op-ed!)
Short of messing with Lot's Wife,
however we joyfully complicate life
through wrecks and raises ...
Now where DID I put that asp?! ... (hair raises!)

Romancing the Gnome? (today's poetry pick?)
Sounds like a good read and a hit --
But I don't give a flip! (consider it edited!)

Miss Dorothy P. appeals more to me (find that pencil)

Emily D. was edited, you see (oh, to scoop The Atlantic)
Even she knew what she wanted to say
without being nervous
Or rhyming to *%_@k@&! Terms of Service

(have I broken all the "rules" ... hehe)

Your work's rejected and terrible, Sweetie.
GO WRITE! Do submit again. "Have A Good Day!"
