they just mount in furry flocks
I feel as though I can't compete
And give up on the bloody socks ... one mum to another - know exactly how you feel, dear! :)


*sigh*

Well...

... my goodness, this lively little piece bounced along like a radio skit. You've created something dramatic out of socks ...

I love the sense of humourous drama you create out of a mother's mundane mayhem!

So glad I saw this!

She has socks
Socks for frocks
Socks that rock
Drip and dry
Why bloody try
Makes a grown woman cry
Looking at all those socks
She'd rather be buying stocks
Than matching up those frickin socks!

Loved it and you. Hoo bloody ray! lmao xoxo d

excellent use of alternate-line rhyming and good steady use of iambic meter
I really like the modified refrain line in each stanza :-)
great alliteration and humor in furry flocks
This is lots of fun from first line to that final stanza :-)
I like that when you write humor, you don't sacrifice technique. So many fan story writers think either humor or Jesus can carry the day so that when they write funny or faith poems, they can just toss a few words out :-) Brooke

    LOL Thanks Brooke. The furry sock covers thank you too.
    I never sacrifice technique because the meter is usually determined by the content and I just try to follow.
    Many thanks for your positive encouragement.
    Cheers P

Hi, Pip! LOL...Sorry, I'm not laughing at you....but With you. I really feel your pain. I love this though:

"A massive pile I always greet
They're not in singles just like socks
Some mother/wife pre-requisite
That I pair up these bloody socks"

I have been away for a while, but back in the saddle again...just posted a first chapter to a new book. Take care. Bob

Your poem does not suks, it rocks and socks.
It would never have crossed my mind to write a poem about socks! It sounds like an obsession! Is there more to come? What about underwear poetry? :)

    LOL Thanks Laurent
    It has crossed my twisted mind to write not one but three poems. Yes, I confess, I have a socks obsession. LOL
    Only ONE underwear poem haha...its a sterling rap too...
    If you wanna read it you'll have to find it...LOL
    Its in my port, you'll have to dig way down under to find it! *smirk*

Dear Phillippa,
Quite utterly brilliant. You, my dear, are just about the best bloody rhyme and metre poet on this site and what an imagination. I have just finished a brilliant book on the cosmos and Black Holes, which seem to be filling up with something. Just think about it. It could mean the collapse of the Universe, so get a grip on things.

So I guess the goal is to make the last stanza come true. SURE IT IS! Nice poem, full of truth and miss matched socks. I really like the first stanza. Great rhyming my FRIEND!

God Bless!

    LOL Thanks Douglas. I've NEVER made the last bit ever come true.
    I just have a bad relationship with the foot covers.
    Thanks for the sixer, loved your review.

haha Only your third you say? You may need to write a few more before you can be considered healed lol. Enjoyed reading your poem very much with its great rhythm and rhyme, as usual! Clever simile with "unmatched and odd as ticks are tocks", ain't that the truth! I hate that job too, I keep waiting for the day when I dump the basket on the bed and each pair is cuddling their partner ready to be neatly tucked away. I know, I'm a dreamer ! LOL
Excellent write, my friend!
All the best, Wazzzza
