Prickly love

hey, I can't help it if I was born silly.

The porcupines finally uncoupled

A stupid grin on the male’s snout

And the female happily snuggled

With a love story to brag about

The male suddenly started to rue

“It’s a business doing pleasure with you”

Your delightful little poem suggests that some people are difficult to love . . . I resemble this message. My prickles always get in the way of a smooth, loving flow! *smile* . . . Altho written with much playfulness, your deeper message is honed to a sharp point. I always love using natural phenomena to illustrate human nature.

:))))) care to take a look at what I commented on emmajoy's review? that'd save me the trouble of repeating myself. you reviews never fail to make my day B. thank you.

To feel love's sweet sting............lol... ;))
"A stupid grin on the male’s snout" even though I haven't seen a porcupine in blood, I could picture that grin easily...
This one does have the required rhythm, and scan (is that what it is called?)
And thanks for educating me about porcupine romance... :)) noted!

[Woody]

love's sweet sting. I like that :)
really? have I finally got it right? that damn rhythm and scan?
you're welcome and thank YOU for visiting. glad you learnt something from this one. did you know that a male porcupine made love only once in his life? once bitten twice shy, I guess.

I am no expert at rhythm, but this one surely does not lag or stretch the syllable count, I guess.read moreI am no expert at rhythm, but this one surely does not lag or stretch the syllable count, I guess.
I just googled "porcupine sex" to check it out..I hope no one reads my history ever, because that would lead to a wrong impression... hehe, once spiked twice shy..

[Woody]

does your comment end at "I guess"? if not then the stupid site ate up the rest :(

[Moonie]

Haha, WC did eat the rest of the comment up..

[Woody]

hahaha you didn't google porcupine!!!! I made the whole thing up :))))))))

[Moonie]

But I did learn that their copulation is very kinky. Theh start with a nose rub though...

[Woody]

damn I'll have to check that up :)

[SleeplessVolcano]

LOL.....this is hilarious :).......is this all imagination or are porcupines common in Tunisia?

Congrats on this, mmmm, thorny creativity.....:)

[Woody]

it's not entirely imagination. porcupines have trouble making love. you can recognize a male by the wholes in his belly :)
yes we do have porcupines, in the mountains.
thank you very much Volcano. glad you enjoyed it.

This is/was a cute petunia! I liked it most heartily! A poem for playtime!

[Woody]

thanks a lot Perkele. glad you found it ffunny :)

[Perkele.7885]

I found it done quite playfully! I tend to write on the sad side of time most often and I like your product!

[Woody]

let's make a deal. you make them cry. I make them laugh :)

[Mars Bear]

Hah I alays admire humour poems as I struggle a lot with them. You kept the pacing great and bouncy with a true humour feel. Punchline was great.
Really enjoyed. And painted a real clear image in my head.

[Woody]

thanks a lot MB :) glad you liked it. I confess, like you, I lack confidence when it comes to poetry but I try and I'm certainly learning :)

[Matching Socks]

Lol. I had not imagined this before but now that I do, I have to agree it would be very prickly.
Good bit of humour.

[Woody]

thank you dear Ana. I guess the upside is it's easy to distinguish btw the male and female. the male's belly is covered with tiny pinpricks.
nice to see your picture grace my page again :)

[Relic]

hahaha, funny one Woody. Being silly has its advantages. :)

[Woody]

haha thank you Relic. glad this made you laugh.

[J.R.H.]

Funny stuff man! You put a smile on my face!

[Woody]

thanks a lot J.R.H. so glad this made you smile :)

[Jimmy Yetts]

Ha! Talk about being sore!
I guess, Woody, he really stuck it to her.
Clever reversal: cute poem!

[Woody]

haha he certainly did Frankie. but he'll think twice before going for seconds, I'm sure.
glad you enjoyed this F.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh how this made me smile on a slow Sunday!!

[Woody]

thanks for dropping in John. I'm so glad I helped brighten your sunday a teeny bit.

[Lydia Shutter]

Woody, your sense of humor is always clever. Loved this one. Lydi**

[Woody]

awfully nice of you to say so Lydia. haha apparently what I lack in poetic prowess I make up for in humour. but don't tell!

[Lydia Shutter]

Nah, I wouldn't dream of it! :)
