I was enjoying the previous poems that I read because you had skilfully used puns and i thought it great fun. However I am a mature person who would suggest that you use this art to send good messages to those who might be just eighteen and over. You have such great talent why use it this way. Give good messages that everyone can read and benefit from. The reason I write this is not to be critical of your poem but because today we are looking for good role models for the younger ones and I feel you have the ability to persuade them in positive directions. The youth of today are bombarded with sex and violence and are going astray.
Please take this in goo spirits and indulge my reques. Love the way you write you are truly talented. Take no offence

    Thanks for your thoughts, emr. That's why I put a warning on it, and I hope (and think) you'll find that the poems I publish that are non-rogue poems will be what you seek. No offense taken, and none intended with this fun project. I do wonder how many people don't realize it's all in good fun, and a satirical look at a ridiculous mindset.

    I know that there was a warning but since I had read some previous ones that had no warning I thought I would take a peek. The ones you wrote before were suggestive but not blunt. As a mature FS member and a concerned citizen about the way the young minds are developing I just thought that I would like to see you use this talent to guide them in a positive direction. you are very talented and could be a great influence on young people. please make an effort .WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. POETRY AND MUSIC CAN BE VERY INFLUENTIAL.God bless

    Thank you, emr. I did worry that this one might be a little beyond the pale, but after reading a couple of the replies, I possibly pushed it beyond where I had before. I will probably revert back to more innuendo-based material on any of these now.

Nice picture to complement this poem. You describe how your love works in various way, especially the climax needed a warning:)

Marillion! I'm so glad you are back! I've always loved your writings and had wondered where you ran off to.

I love the play on words with the title and I absolutely love the subject matter. My man needs some help with this! I guess I need to teach him how to be an expert linguist!

Great job! Happy spelling!

    Thanks SO much, islandergirl. Please do consider picking up a copy of the book for him when I release it. I do, however, want the thank the FS hens for laying me, and their eggs, all over the site. ;-)

    Great to hear from you. I just decided I missed this place enough to give it another go.

Just the reading material for my breakfast of juice and toast.

This is good - no issues at all.

I absolutely cannot wait for the response poems.

Oh, you naughty rogue. Now I guess the hens know how to get your tongue wagging in a more pleasurable way. This was solid.
