What a hoot, P! Karma is such a bitch. Bad enough when it bites you on the bum, but ... a piranha with the munchies...holy shit!
An 'all-consuming' read. Brilliant!

    Aww P, thanks so much for the screamer review. Yes those parched mouthed pirahna CAN be a bit of a problem for loose flailing appendages...haha
    Loved that you stopped in my port. Most flattered. Cheers for the sixer

A masterpiece of the HIGHEST order! :) Apart from the F-Bomb I would say you nailed a very creative write. Steady cadence and great rhymes, along with a creepy picture. Hope all is well!

God Bless!

Dear Phillippa,
Karma indeed and in such perfect "execution", but methinks, my dear, you are associating with the wrong types. Where did you learn about such things???
Regards
Reg

    LOL I'm a well travelled and versed girl Reg. No spring chicken, I'm 44. But take heart, this was NOT a bio. It's one of the few posts I've completely fabricated. I struggle with fiction. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are well.
    I must call into your port my friend.
    Cheers P

You tell a good story in couplets rhyming. Definitely shows what goes around comes around. You could easily write a part two to this. Just a suggestion. Good luck with the contest! Les

    Thanks Les
    I'm hoping for some good karma from this one with the judges. Not sure they'll appreciate the f-bomb. But pigs might fly. LOL
    Cheers P

I read in your email that you have gone back to work. I hope you can channel some of your boundless creativity into the business. Thanks for still finding the time to share with us. I admired your rhymed quatrains as you told the tale of this ironic "karma!" Cheers- Joan

Hi C.P.,

This piece is pure perfection. I don't have to tell you the rhymes and meter are spot on and the storyline is fabulous. I am totally cracking up at the ending. How brilliant of you to not end just with drug dealers getting eaten. The bit about piranhas eating the weed first and then getting the munchies is brilliant.

Sorry I used that word twice, but you see I'm sitting here getting stoned and I can't find my thesaurus. ONLY KIDDING! I have enough trouble explaining some of my comments to folks when I'm reading on just a few hours sleep because of my insomnia.

Just thought of something else. Your scenario really puts new meaning to green tea. Might be worth looking into, lol.

Big Hug,
Lou

    Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy thanks Lou...LOVED your review and YOU and I hope you saw the little dedication in the notes. You are a master at this form both with rhyme, meter and imagination and I can only hope I came somewhere close. Initially the story was going to be about the pet iguana but it somehow changed and this is what I ended up with. I DID like it in the end and I thank YOU for the inspiration to go out of MY comfort zone and completely fabricate a story. I struggle with that. I can stretch the truth no probs yet not fabricate complete fiction that well. The only thing I can vouch for in this write is the hemp terminology LMAO
    Thanks for the sixer and I like the green tea idea...leave it with me. I got a suggestion for part two but that will take awhile and more chuff LMAO
    Hugs CP

    Yes, and I thank you for that dedication. Is it really hard for you to make stuff up? I have trouble writing about reality, hee hee. My mother used to say I had an over-active imagination. Don't think I ever live completely in reality and that's not such a good thing. I look forward to your Part II. Hugs back, LouLou

I got a kick out of that picture. You got me with your rhyme of marijuana / piranha. This is a terrific little story poem. Always like to see the bad guys get it in a natural way :) Best wishes to you in this contest.

Hello
that last line punch was the 'lol' moment of the poem..hehe..I liked this funny little story.
Yeah,piranhas eating munchies...cool...we oughta eat marine then..haha..
Good use of strongly rhyming couplets with nice rhythm and peppy beats.
Last lines are the show stealers..and of course I being an Indian know well about Karma..you did an excellent narration.
Good luck:-)

strong rhyming couplets - love the pairing of marijuana/piranha
I like the idea of the drug lords evading the cops only to be confronted by piranha
good alliteration in free for
and in mull in motion
great action verbs like clip/bounce/freak/dive/thrash add lots of life and drama to the scene
good alliteration in major munchies and further fuel
now, that is hungry, a piranha with pot munchies LOL
love your closing line :-) Brooke
