The Community Spirit 24 Hour Poetry Competition

Ode to the Rules

Community Spirit

Can really get with it

By posting a ditty,

A poem or a limerick.

It doesn't need to rhyme

Or be more than two lines

It can be sad or funny

About sunshine or bunnies.

The one with most kudos wins

There will also be a "judge's pick"

The judge is me and there will be

No dissent from thee or thee 😉 😉 😉

So, grab your pen and paper, too

Find inspiration from what's around you

Or go back to the past or into the future

Write on haute cuisine, or even haute couture 🙂

Here I sit blank of mind

Words to write I can not find

Inspiration won't come to me

Therefore a lousy poet I will be

At first I thought what I needed to make my kitchen the best

Was something as humble as a spoonrest,

But as time went on my desires grew bolder

I yearned to own - a teabag holder!

Alas! My gadget lust was far from sated…

Feverishly I flicked through catalogues with breath bated,

I jmade the discovery that to be truly bourgeois

I needed to possess a shiny chinois!!!

But not just any old chinois will do,

Something so common may be fine for you

But what I crave, nay, what I demand

Is a shiny chinois with a stand!!!!

So far the entries are all very good
I'd give prizes to each, if only I could.
More are needed, so please play along
With a poem, a lyric, a silly silly song 🙂

And, I'll kudo what seems good to me 🙂 🙂 🙂

Is that right?

I call this Ode to a Troll....

Hello, its me, I’m the dummy spitter

I enjoy wrecking fun and being a PITA!

I’m not one to simply join in and play,

No, not me! I want my own way!

Nothing will stop me once it enters my head

to sook and whine and ruin your thread.

I poke and I prod, my disruption skills I doth hone

There’s nothing as annoying as a dog with a bone!

I’m not just nasty, annoying and juvenile,

I’m really quite irritating, and yes, even puerile.

I’m creepy and callous, I whinge and gripe,

My eyes half close as I furiously type…

To me this is all just a fun little game,

And I’m sure you are all aware of my name.

Everyone knows I lack self control

Yes that’s correct – I am a troll!!!

it helps to put it in the right thread

I thought I was Queen of the poets,

I thought that my rhymes were the best,

I thought that my versifications

Were better than all of the rest.

But now I shall just spit the dummy,

I'll pick up my pen and go home,

Cos Pepe has stole all my thunder

And writ a more betterer pome!

First Katy with the plan

For woman or man

To show what they can do

With a line or two

Then Channy popped in

And said with a grin

That words she can't find

In her poor old blank mind

Pepe jumps to the fore

Inviting all to explore

Her kitchen bourgois

Only lacking chinois

am3 has been edited

Her post can't be credited

It wasn't a rudo

She just said she'd kudo

Pepe comes back

She sure has the knack

And the need to extol

That pesky old troll

Flannie Annie's delighted

And wants pepe knighted

So she can offer a kiss

That would not be amiss

And here is she-ele

She is up from the tele

All agog and in wonder

Pepe has stolen her thunder

Oh what shall we do

Our poets are few

Such talent they've shown

Now who would have known
