"To tolerate a hot-air buffoon..." (Copyright 2001 by: MARK V SHELDON) Abrasively yellow Swaying back and forth like a stoned hippie bobbing up and down and up and down like the head of a pigeon collecting hand-outs I'm hanging by your thin string one I want to sever so I can free me from your misery I'd love to watch you rise to the top and pop your pretentiousness becoming grounded once more a shriveled relic from the colorful time you thought you had above us all I dream of inhaling your "hot air" and telling you in your own words just so you can hear for yourself how funny you sound No more mylar smiles My day is much nicer without you in it, thank you very much.

Nice execution, no pun intended?  Truly though, I am sure there's more to the story, but I love the intensity of this. Sometimes p.o.'d poetry is full of Passion. Enjoyed this much. |

Very well penned...(as to puncture or punctuate the positive) Sometimes you just gotta say "No thanks!" Or throw darts? Hope you don't mind this smile. Couldn't help it!Sincerely, Regina |

Pretty strong words. I think you told them what you thought here. Great write If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Serenity: very punny. Thank you, Nancy -- I'm starting to enjoy it too despite my being new to it... Sandra: Depends on the people...Regina, I never mind a smile from you, or anyone who is genuine. But I never did care for those smiley balloons... Helen -- thank you, and I'm glad my smile touched you and boomeranged back to me too. Logan, sometimes, when we're lucky, they never have to do it again... Thanks for the read. Balladeer: ...and sometimes they just run out of gas... Thanks for the smile. Tracey: I hope so... whoever they are... -MVS "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |
