They arm themselves with
dictionary, thesaurus
and their time,
and head toward the
silly boys
and fire them hard
with rhyme!
Cliff is smiling
at the girls
and Marvin muses sweet,
and suddenly when
quite off guard,
words knock them
off their feet!
Jody spits strong rhythm
and spins Cliff's
mind off guard,
Marvin loses
concentration
and trips over,
falling hard!
Michelle then shoots
a perfect pun,
with aim exactly right,
and crazy Cliff
then tries to duck,
but it hits him
with such might!
Katydid then
thrusts a verse
that oozes words
so sharp,
and hits the boys
so strong and clear
and darts them
in the heart!
Joy then throws
a limerick
full of endless tease,
to mesmerize
the silly boys
and make them
feel at ease!
Cliff and Marvin
kneel and beg
and ask the girls
for more,
they do not want these
words to stop
they love poetic war!
Joy Weare.

The Poet's War is on once more. It is between
arthurrexpoo(Cliff), thekid(Marvin),
blossomsone(Michelle), Jody(Jody Dickey),
Jenna(Katydid) and myself, Joy(poet7925)
It is all a bit of fun. Hope it makes you
smile for a little while!!
