An Earlette ...
Yellow
by closetpoetjester
YELLOW My weak-kneed, hollow, lily-livered stance Showed quaking fear as truth I had to face I proved too scared to take my given chance My lesser spine preferred a safer place Defend thy honour, not a phrase I'd guard Not one intrepid thought was mine to crave Abjectly I found difficult too hard No plucky heart with daring sense of brave Alas, my feeble wish for valiance lost I'd pussy out with sweaty palms a'drip Sheer magnitude of cowardess to cost All dignity, my gutlessness would strip From arm pits down to yellow belly soaked Big wussy girl's a shrinker, no disputes As trickle gushed and flooded skirt I choked Yes, sissy wimp just filled up both the boots So pantywaisted, squeamish and afraid This chicken shit will baste in every shade (C) |

Poetic licence with "cowardess"...
Inspired by a friend who I initially inspired.
This was written to inspire him again. And so on.
Ding! Ding! Round Two...
Ah yes, the art of perpetual pro-motion. LOL
This format is an Earlette. Thanks to Earl of Oxford for a fab variation
on a standard Sonnet... with one extra stanza and no volta necessary.
Thanks for reading ...
