Prairie of Fools

Where Angels Dread To Tread

In a prairie of flaming fools

Don’t ever dream of wit

Where angels fear to tread
Reigns a constellation of twits

Be it a coterie of clowns

Or idiots rattling in cliques

No stone is left unturned
Rape of prudence to commit
In a prairie of vibrant fools

Wisdom leaves no footprints

The winds of absurdity rail
Blowing off reason, bit by bit
Don’t slip into the swamp

Preserve your path as Holy Writ

No sunborn ray can pierce

This foul, grey and murky pit

Thanks a ton for reading :)

there is absolutely nothing about this entire page.. except them pesky adverts that kinda get in the way... that I do not like.. and I mean that big time.. The title is fantastic and immediately opens up the door to one's imagination.. am still working on the meaning behind those specifically bold fonted words .. have printed the whole thing to dwell further upon whilst am on the plane later today.. The language used is superb and the light rhyme that runs throughout is easy to follow... The principle message is clear .. and I so like that image you posted to head the whole thing... I would love a copy of that ancient work of art n true.... all in all.. summat rather special sir...

Thanks a ton for the great review, dear sir! This was another 10 word challenge, my friend threw at me. That's the words you see in bold. Love doing these exercises because I really believe we manifest our state of mind onto those random 10 words. Here, the comment is primarily aimed at world & office politics and stupid politicians.
The pic selected is from Google randomly but here is the link:

Once again, Thanks a lot, my friend. This is a review to treasure! You have a fantastic morning & day sir! 🤗

[AJNJ]

Hi Pesty! This is good. An interesting take on politics and fools. Since when did you start doing 10 word challanges? Just so you know, I'm interested too. Let's exchange words and do a couple. Good one! So message me.

[AJNJ]

Thanks a ton Ms. Kat. Jamila started me on this and now I'm kinda getting addicted to it. I'll send you 10 words if you're interested.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Count me out...eeewww

[sonnie ibadah]

Impressively done
I noticed in a circulating e-mail how a piece of duct tape was effectively used on one fool

[AJNJ]

I love duct tape and the many uses I can put it to! 😀 Thanks for looking in and reminding me!

Did someone say 'fools'? HoHoHo! I can name many fools if you dare me! It's an increasingly foolish world we live in; one full of alarmists, denialists and left leaning lunatics and that is just a few of the undesirables. Even a place like this has its fools. There are more fools here than at a Burlington Poetry Jam! It's what happens when people of low intellect take themselves too seriously. It's one thing to love writing, another thing completely to do it well. The greatest fools are those that tolerate mediocrity in any written form. Anyway, this was a timely write, Pestonjee. Another well constructed ten word write and one creatively outlined with a moral theme and message. Be sure to stay away from the fools!

Thanks a lot for such an interesting review Brilliance. You've added many new dimensions to this write. Enjoy your day.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm surrounded by fools. I don't need a desert to see them! I like your style of writing. Long may it continue!

[AJNJ]

I appreciate your thoughts and I subscribe to them too. Better alone than in the company of fools. Thank you for visiting this page sir!

Ten words most artfully arranged.
Brought to mind the political swamp--"clowns," both left and right.
Unquestionably, a "foul, grey and murky pit."
Kudos, for such a clever, profoundly meaningful, creation!

[AJNJ]

Thanks a ton dear sir. I enjoyed scribbling this one. Many thanks!
