Dueling Poets . . . The Series




Dueling Poets
Series

The Mouth of The South
And
The Great Canadian Buzzard


My Authors notes explains.
Honest! Well kinda sorta.

Comic relief anyone?



Shhhhhhh .....
 
Can you hear it .....?
 
Listen closely.


It sounds to me like a Buzzard moaning
with the setting of the sun.
 
What's that you say?
Let me outta here?
 
Ray ... You are in a heap of trouble Son!!

 

There is a rumbling from the North
As our sexy Buzzard sits in jail
Placed behind cold bars of iron
By the 'Mouth Of The South'
And he is raising Holy H*LL
 
 

He has sent out a rather pitiful S.O.S.
Asking all our friends
To drop a line or two in his defense
To bring his jail term to an end
 
Our Buzzard
Snivels and moans
 
'Oh please ... I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!'
 
He claims The Mouth has showed him no mercy
As their battle for the Golden Pen rages on
After all he is just a helpless lonely Buzzard
With only singed tail feathers to sit upon
 
He conveniently forgot to come clean
Of why he finds himself in this jail
Leaving The Mouth waiting for his comebacks
With excuses that were really mighty pale
 
So here he finds himself behind bars tonight
Protesting quite loudly
 
'This just ain't right!'
 
Then ... writing quite arrogantly
He speaks in poem to me
That no faults in my dear friend Donna
I would allow myself to see
 
Well Ray, sweetie pie,
I might have found a way to try,
But four words from me to our sweet Mouth
 
' . . . Throw away that darn key!!!!''
 

 
Just a little reminder Ray
This pretty lady with whom you choose to duel?
Surely you remember
Lightening flies from her fingertips
I wonder what next she has in store for you?

(You best be afraid . . . VERY afraid!)
 
So my fiesty Buzzard although I love ya
The judge will soon be stepping in
And like I told you in the beginning
 
 
YOU'RE IN A HEAP OF TROUBLE MY FRIEND!

Let me introduce the
Dueling Poets 4
Donna ~ Lesa ~ Diana
Ray

 
This is a blast from the past for me.
Written by Aspiring in the year of 2009.
 
I got involved within this little duel of poets
and the series went on for over a hundred episodes.
 
It all started with Ray, aka the buzzard, taking jabs
at our writing, within his titles.
 
There was three of us he singled out, and we opened
a link from him one morning to see ourselves standing
in graphic costumes of The Three Musketeers.
A little 'roast' in poem accompanying it.
 
Well, game on, and the Dueling Poets found
its way to be a series. LOL The duel was to go on until
everyone cried uncle before the last pen standing.

The prize you ask?
The coveted Golden Pen.
 

We played petty hard and fast. Now what's three close friends
to do when we were being picked on by a buzzard. (Ray's penname)
 
We were unmerciful in our play. After all it was three against
one. Poor Ray didn't stand a prayer but he had his moments. LOL
 
This was one of the last writes of the series. The chapters were
becoming fewer and fewer and Ray was not giving us ammunition.
I tried to raise a few tail feathers when I posted this write but
eventually the fun just faded away.
 
I found this in shambles, dusted it off
and decided to find it a home here within my titles.
 
Thanks everyone, for letting me share some of
Aspiring's fond memories in play, even though you
do not know the other players.
 

 
Which of these two talented poets
won the duel between pens and friends?
 
Two of us caved to 'Uncle' and these two
continued between themselves for
several months longer.

I awarded each of them a 'Golden Pen'
