**An old write which may or may not qualify for the
humorous challenge. It's about writer's block,
with unfinished poems ending up in the garbage.


The decrepit accepting receptacle taken to task
rescued chewed and crumbled regrets like a plump
egret well satisfied having lied, Nay, laid the
staid egg of illcontent, now spent.

After tasting unbasted chicken bones and unvexed
moans and groans of love much prefer the gag-ragged
fur spurs and small balls of tattered shawl to line
its tin confines, minus the pricking pins of remorse
of course.

Write right or write wrong, it doesn't matter,
former or latter, what caused the tatters, shreds
and snips of misguided derision. Bites of snipes
and gripes bitten, smitten and written with
jazzy pizzazz bounce their hay day way to the
bottom.

Fill the can, man, with brash trash, pieces of peace
and rank-and-file spanking. You can full-tank bank
on it, it will be thanking you too!

This one was a fun one indeed and we all have had writers block...but NEVER toss the unfinihed one away.  You may come back to them some day and find them being complete.  Loved it much and I walk away smiling thanks to you.

Chanson, well writ poem. I like the alliteration but my tongue nearly had apoplexy trying to say it out loud. *Laughs.*
Be well
