SHORT AND SWEET

I resent being praised
like a super star
cough cough..just joking
Rehearsing for the dark dangerous
femme fatale part in the movie
At least it isn't a dull film
Must be tea time, I'm hungry
" Milk with mine! Thank you Jeeves.
Mmm such a comfort, tea and scones. "

    Clever! Well done for getting all the words in and still making it short. http://thelaughinghousewife.wordpress.com

    I haven't been here in a while...and I again find myself delighted by the wittiness evident in your verse. Great use of the words.

    Oh, my yes, Rall! This is just right! Your writing always has such a freshness to it. It's consistently innovative and original, never stodgy. I'm always inspired when I come here and then I think, why can't I be creative like that. Maybe some of your style will rub off on me ...

    Oh, this gave me a chuckle. Cough Cough. What a delightful poem!

    Rall, just dropping by to say I've missed your flamboyant creativity! I've been missing at my own work too, but I promise to visit more often.

    The prompts look inspiring and scary. :-)

    Stirring stuff... that tea.
    Concise and comprehensive - just like the tea breaks where I used to work.

    Thanks Cynthia. You should know I am a big dunce when it comes to all things technical!

    Impressed you fitted all the words in and made sense too. I rather enjoy your poems and usually feel that my comments are rarely up to their standard.

    Madame I always love a comment from you as you are the only non poet that visits me.Prose writers usually don't like poetry so I am very flattered that you like mine. Why not try a prompt in free verse sometime ...just for a giggle?

    Short and sweet, indeed! Do you really resent the fanfare? :) Tea and scones - comfort could be no other.
