This is interesting and clever and I think I see what you're getting at, but it might have been a bit more cohesive. Seems like you mixed in actual syphilis from sex ... which doesn't really belong here in the middle somehow.

One of the more unusual poems I've ever read. Definitely grabs your attention with the word ' syphilis'. I'd probably given you five stars, but I'm fighting the ' ick factor. ' LOL

Hi Bic - you asked me to take a peek at some of your work, so here I am - sorry I've been so busy doing other things today! Good to have you back with your "found" poetry! (Now THERE'S a mystery!) Re punctuation: I'd wipe it all out because this short piece doesn't really need it. I like each new verse starting with a capital letter, but any more than that is pretty much unnecessary I think - except the ... at the end - that is necessary, and the ! is good. But what an improvement! Wow! I can see you've been working on it! Blessings, Sharyn

This was a weird one, an offbeat offering with a compelling cadence and rhythm all its own. An original, to be sure! Well done, my friend... Keep going...

cheers

Bic,

This is awesome, loaded with 1 big fat metaphor of a personal affliction and an undesirable persona that itched under your proverbial skin. Impure she-it-they are to assume incorrectly.

Correction is an infection- brilliant!

10000000000000000000 stars, poem of the month!

Tell them to kiss your ass B.. That is indeed a word and a clever one at that - such words that are not used as much can be hard to Google - lol not really they just didn't take the time - your poem was interesting as ever and the history of the word is interesting - thanks for sharing always a pleasure sweetie -

    I've just told someone to kiss my ass T... because for some reason they think they can determine what and how i'm feeling even though I've already told them how and what I'm feeling...some people...!

    Loved every minute of it T. Glad you can enjoy it for what it is.
