Don’t Disregard the Voices

Poem Body

Simple Simon
Crazy Joe
The Merry Trickster
Aunty Flo
tow the line
until it hurts
throw a spanner
in the works
cut the flower
for the show
leave the bloom
and watch it grow
crank the handle’s
overdrive
disconnect
the whole bee hive
paint snot drying
fast enough
where’s the fire
what’s the rush

the fast pace and the excellent rhyme and near rhyme! I don't think that it could be better! ~ Gee

Something prompted me to check out your profile and
"About me:
read my poems and find out"
Is less generous than your poetry, perhaps a tad arrogant.
