Lol. Well, I'm glad you got it out of your system to write out your wrath in verse instead of a real physical combat. Enjoyed the fun lines and the humorous solution (of the verses not the violence).

Thanks. It was a fun write. If you saw me, you'd really laugh. I'm not interested in real violence, but if I tried it I'd be the one getting thrashed. LOL Glad you enjoyed.

Hi Cindy, amusing poem with good use of mono-rhyme used throughout. Good internal rhyme in - 'I threw him in the hay and left him where he lay.' Unusual picture in your layout. Enjoyable read. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

Thanks. Of course I don't really think vilonce is the answer, but this was a fun write and great therapy. Glad you enjoyed it.
Comment from F Scott Hafner
Nice description of handling someone - In these times you can't even think of touching someone. Too many lawyers out there looking for work. It is fun to live in your poem. All of us at times wanted to treat someone ill just because they deserved it. But I'm sure I motivated many who wanted to throttle me for one reason or another. Your poem helps keep me on my best behavior. I don't intentionally piss anyone off - but it like bull in a china shop. Excessive care means nothing.

Thanks. Of course, if I tried to throttle someone for real, I'd end up getting hurt myself. I'm just not that tough. This poem was great therapy. Glad you enjoyed it.
Comment from Eternal Muse
It's important to get things off our system. Bottling is not healthy. I am glad you shared this with us. Admired your rhymes and meter. You chose an appropriate red font to bring out the raging emotions inside you. Glad you didn't throttle the guy! (lol).
This just rolls off the tongue:
One afternoon damp and hazy
I met a man a little crazy.
He offered me a yellow daisy
And told me not to be so lazy.
Excellent.

Thanks. Of course I wouldn't (not to mention couldn't) really throttle someone. This was great therapy. Glad you liked it.

A very well-written poem/story. It is an effective way to get rid of anger by writing about it instead of really hurting someone physically of mentally. G

Thanks. It's the best way to get rid of anger. If I tried to whomp someone in the real world, I'd be in big trouble. I'd be the one in a world of hurt. Not that I really want to hurt anyone anyhow.

Yep, it's a good thing. If I tried to give someone a beating in real life, I'd be the one in a world of hurt. I'm just not tough enough. LOL Glad you liked my poem.

Well A+ on the the rhyme... Remind me not to make you mad or I might end up good and dead. This was fun and sing song musically. Fun read. Yours, diana

Haha, I don't think you have much to worry about. I'm really not that tough. You'd probably beat me. LOL Glad you enjoyed the poem.

Rhyming is such a skill.
I totally admire any writer, poet who can incorporate this form of creating into their sharing.
As a new writer, to read this structured piece should help implant within my skill set and hopefully give me confidence to explore this sort of writing and give it a go

Thanks. You really should give it a go. Once you get started it really isn't that hard. Best of luck with your writing.

I don't usually laugh at limericks or most humorous poems, unless of course, they find the right spot. This did. I was summing up characters whilst seeing the scene played out in front of me, then smiling and smiling.
Nicely done.
