This one is fantastic. How good is "tangerine frustration"? If anyone needs a lesson in how to make the stressed and unstressed syllables read naturally, I'll point them to this poem. It's a gem!

    LOL Thanks Mike. Yep the old tangering frustration was really raging...not to mention stinking to high heaven about a week or so later.

Oh wow, what a thing to happen! I have never tried crayfish, but now I'm pretty sure I never want to. This is a most unusual poem, written in flawless meter and great rhymes. I really enjoyed this all the way through. By using the point of view of the crayfish, you added to the humor of the piece. Nicely done CPJ.

Since I live where crayfish are plentiful, I knew what was coming from this little mudbug. No wonder the crusty little devils turn red and have horns. At least your turned the yukky memory into a delightful bite.

Ha Ha this is certainly a lesson from life poem LOL, so many directions this poem could take. Once again very visual with good flow and lots of good potential. I see this as a short story about the selfish crab fish that wanted to get its own back on a family that neglected it LOL.

This is a really cute poem, and being from Louisiana, as i am, i can appreciate it greatly! Crawfish definetly do not have a pleasant smell, however, they are very tasty to a Louisiana girl like myself! Ive missed reading your poetry, as i have been gone awhile. Your talent still shows! :)

A very tasty, or should I say, smelly poem. What can I say? You always deliver smooth rhymes and great meter. Sometimes though, your word choices can be a little stinky. :) Wish I had a SIX!

God Bless!

you have a scalpel-sharp wit. keep giving voice to the inanimate ( the ball, and, well, the crayfish was on his way to becoming a corpse). love your sense of language ( shafted shellfish in a bag, tangerine frustration). and it is no crime to rhyme if you do it right. you never go for the obvious rhyme and the rhythm and tone is original enough tom elevate you far above any kind of hallmark crime.

The message in this piece as the story is told clearly. The rhyming is good as this piece flows well. The harmony is where it needs to be. My attention is captured from the beginning and held to the end. Good job.
