Tricky Techniques

Rhyme, metaphor, onomatopoeia,
Similie, symbolism, personification.
To all those tricky writing techniques,
You deserve a standing ovation.
The only dilemma is,
Your all a little too picky,
Putting you all in one small poem
May prove slightly tricky.
So shoot me if I don't,
I honestly try my best,
Sorry to disappoint,
But you make my brain a birds nest!
I can't make words sing for me,
Or BOOM! And a poem appears,
You make blood flow in my mouth,
For my words are as sharp as shears!
So to conclude this short little poem,
I'd like to apologise,
For my songs aren't clever,
Or good or witty or wise.

What's funny is I used all 6 writing techniques in that poem.

More Pigs

I'm off on a new adventure,. So please forgive me if I miss. Your marvellous poetry ventures,. Or wordy tales of pain and love,. And mysterious tales from above,. You must be sick of my talk of poo,.

Think Ink

Here's something for you, Because you've never read my ink. I know you've never asked... But I hope it'll make you think. I know it's not your kind of thing. But I'd appreciate it if you'd pretend.

200th

Wow my two hundredth post. This is worth a toast. Never thought I'd get this far. A lot of them have been under par. I haven't been on my game as late. My poems have not been that great.

Only

A man once said "it's only words". But that is strictly for the birds. For words are good words are great. Words spread love and nurture hate. They help us thru our darkest hour.
