"Please Mind Your Own Business", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. With a minimum of words, this talented poet has told it as it is. The topiary used the artwork, is absolutely wonderful. I look forward to seeing your next post.

You have made effective use of all of your syllables in this very direct, amusing poem. Paired with the artwork--which is a rea HOOT--it sends a crystal clear message. LOL!

Haha, very true! Sometimes neighbours cannot always fall into the friend category, there are boundaries! Great job winning the contest with this entry!

    Hello Chloe,

    It's nice to meet you.

    Thank you for your excellent review, I really appreciate it. And, yes you're right, neighbors are not always good friends. Sometimes, far from it.

    Enjoy your Sunday, Chloe...Bill

This humorous 5-7-5, Please Mind Your Own Business, has the right set up and brings a shape to one's feelings about aggressively curious neighbors.

a preference of opinion,a preference of business,and a preference of privacy. telling someone to mind their own business is telling someone to mind their own preference. your poem was well design and delightful to read. thanks for the read. "your so vein" means mood or humor.

your so vein

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is outstanding. The humor is in the photo, as well as in the play on words, with the use of "butt" instead of 'but', referring to the nosey neighbors being a pain in the ass. I live in a five-story apartment building, and the neighbors to my left, are constantly commenting on every little thing I do or say. They're really annoying, and I needed a good laugh by reading this today. This shows perfectly, visually and poetically, how nosey neighbors can get. Beautiful presentation and message.
Take care, Jesse

    Hello Jesse,

    Thank you for your great review and rating, I truly appreciate it.

    I certainly agree with you Jesse, neighbors can be "very" annoying. Over the years I've had a variety of different types. One that sit on his front porch and spied on every move that we made through binoculars...LOL. I've lived in the country all my life so my neighbors aren't real close to me, but to damn close at times...LOL...I guess it doesn't really matter where we live, they will eventually get to us one way or another.

    I'm glad that you got a laugh from reading this. Take care my friend...Bill

    Hello Bill.
    I'm glad you liked my review. Your poem really resonated with me. Today is the day of the week I am home all day by myself, and the neighbors hate it when I talk to myself while on Fan Story, or writing ideas for future poems. It doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I do what I want to do anyway. Have a great Sunday, my friend.
    Take care, Jesse

How funny. We had a nosy old lady next door who would peek at our house by lifting a flat on her Venetian blinds ever so slightly. We started waving at her when we saw that lifted slat. We had no idea what she thought she was going to see! Cute poem and picture.

AaaaaaaaaaaHAHAHAHA! OUTRAGEOUS, butttt funny, very funny 5-7-5 with a perfect choice of artwork. Of course I have to ask -- was the poem prompted by the picture? No matter! I enjoyed it immensely anyway. Best of luck in the contest!

    Hello Dawn,

    Thank you for your excellent review, I really appreciate it.

    I keep several hilarious pictures stored in the photo section of my computer just for contests like this one. When this contest was announced I started going through them and when I saw this picture the words just popped into my head.

    Enjoy your Sunday, my friend...Bill
