~Suck it up, Buttercup...

Satire, perhaps. ;-)

Wafting on a dancing zephyr

posies unfurling under pressure

jazzing to the ubiquitous lines

butterfly wings all in a tizzy

of the darkly color'd stanzas

spectators a'ghast in convulsions

a'waiting on wildflowers destruction

apricot pits cringing in poetry's wake

eruptions of creativity's faux pas

desecrate a few of favor'd bliss

sojourning in fundamental blues

nothing left to be said

put the hurt on them,

 a tip from mon chéri pal....   

suck it up, buttercup !

I love the playfulness of this! I also love the commentary of poetic fundamentals, and when to break the mold on them, toss out the rules and just dance right across the page however the hell you want to!
Your alliteration is fantastic in the lines "a'waiting on wildflowers destruction
apricot pits cringing in poetry's wake." I love it!

[Frieda P]

I had fun writing this one, ha...I doubt my intended target got it though...thanks jazz'd you enjoyed! ;-)

[Pryde Foltz]

Phew … it's a good thing I am no buttercup. A biting write, indeed.

[Frieda P]

Hahaha Pryde, I just don't picture you as a buttercup. ;-)

[Pryde Foltz]

A thorny rose, perhaps.;)

[Frieda P]

Ha yeah more so, beauty with a bite ;-)

[Kai Rollins]

Someone somewhere subtly. Was mocked :3 I enjoyed

[Frieda P]

Subtly, ya think? ha...thanks Kai. ;-)

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Only you could put a sparkling twist on this satire...(he he)
Sometimes you have to be blunt, because the saying "Chin up, buttercup" just won't do. LOL ;P
Nicely penned, Friedalicious!~xoxo~

[Frieda P]

You betcha Robbie, ha how could I be piss'd with you on my page though, nice to see you girl! :-P xoxox

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Don't be pissed...be Fabulous...because no one can take that away from you. ;)
Love you!~xoxo~

Sounds like someone needed a sign... sigh. Good satirical rant! Duct tape helps hold those panties up and is also useful for closing mouths. Just a tip from the redhead.. ha!

[Frieda P]

I need to borrow that sign of yours, and the shot gun, I have my own duct tape. ;-) !

[Rita L. Sev]

Wow - did someone wee in your Wheaties this morning? ;) This poem is like a full on blast of Frieda Sass!

[Frieda P]

Ha, did I scare you Rita...love your review, it brought a smile to my face, love the word sass, and YES ;-)

[Sasha]

Pretty Interesting one !
Loved it !

[Frieda P]

Thanks muchly Sasha !

[Shaun Payton]

I like peanut butter cups.:)

[Frieda P]

Ha Shaun, I was waiting for someone to say just that. ;-)

[Shaun Payton]

HEHE im just the goofball to say it too lol

[:o]

I'm studying poetry and I can see alliteration in this with the 'l's' passing by in almost every line. If I didn't know any better I'd say someone got you aggravated. Always an interesting poem from you Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Ahh I never even thought of that, the rant just flew off the pen....thanks Lacey.

[Kimmie]

Is this about me..... truthfully?

[Frieda P]

Guilty conscience Kimmie?

[Kimmie]

Nope. Just a question Frieda.

[Jack...]

Either dance or get off the dance floor, you're in the way. This is what I would call beautifully crafted and poetic slap to the back of the head. Why don't you build me up, buttercup, just to let me down, and turn me around. Ok, I'm dancing already...sheesh.

Even in your satirical way you fashion beauty with your ink sweet Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Ha why didn't I think of that song?? Now I'm dancing too Jack, thanks sweetie! ;-)

[:o]

I love that song.
