LOL -- oh, yeah, that sounds just like my spunky lil' grandmother would have been in all this nonsense -- great offering and use of the unusual meter! ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck to you at the polls! ;)

Hello anonymous

Great entry for the Write a Poem in Trochaic Meter contest.

Over 350,000 people died of covid so we all have to put on masks... it's not much to ask.

The rhythm of your trochaic meter falls into the unstressed beat unlike iambic...well done.

This is really funny, I like how grandma threw them all out in the end. Burnt pie though, brings me to tears. This is a great contest entry, good luck to you. :)

I like the photo you choose to go with your poem, They are a perfect match. You captured my attention from the first line to the last
I had to chuckle when grandma threw everyone out the house
Even though it was sad but, safety comes first
Thank you for sharing

I enjoyed this write and the picture you chose. Poor Grandma has had it! I guess the moral of the story is to not mess with Grandma's big day of performing her skills!

A very well-written poem in trochaic meter about grandma throwing het guests out with their masks to prevent the spread of Covid and the pumpkin pie was tossed out too because it was burnt.

An excellent entry in this trochaic meter, although probably better in seven syllable lines for consistency, the theme and the writing are very good, good look with this contest entry, blessings Roy

Very good. Grandmas got game. I'm not familiar with this style but the story is solid and has a strong ending. Supported well by the art work. Great job, wishing you luck in the contest and the coming year.

Horsy for Grandma getting rid of all the racket going on around her in her kitchen. After getting fed up with the ruckus she kicked them out stock and barrel out the back door. Her burnt pie was last straw!
