Oh, Mr. Edmund Clerihew B.,
this witty-verse hue just ain’t for me.
As a teen, you invented some poeming fun.
But you see, my poems are more…undone.
…
A bit of tongue-in-cheekiness for the dVerse prompt, where Gayle has us playing with the Clerihew. Edmund Clerihew Bentley invented the form at the age of 16. 😉
🙂 Your poems are WONDERFULLY undone!
Undone is better than well done, although, this poem is well done.
Excellent.
I agree these clerihews are too short unless one keeps adding stanzas to them.
Actually there are many deeds that are better undone… though I doubt your poems should be undone
And I love how undone they are!
Agreed!
Really clever, De, even if undone…which it wasn’t…love your cheekiness!
Cheeky, clever, & fun–I applaud your levity. I did get into the spirit of this prompt, but left to my own devices, like you, I get out there into the “Undone” realm–though I prefer the term “Unfettered”.
Too much fun coming undone. But you’re the one to do it, Hon! And I’m hankering for more triolet play. What does De say?
But this isn’t a mess, I must confess…hehe
Love your however its done….or undone.
“Your work”.. oh my gosh..I cannot type on a mobile!!
I think you’ve done a fabulous job with the form. Clerihew would be impressed.
Clever girl, you!
Tongue in cheek sure enough!
Hank
Very clever!
That’s telling ’em!
A clever response – I know what you mean – I don’t normally write poems of this style, but I enjoyed this one, on the night in question!
Cute. Turn it on the poor chap. A puerile form indeed and only good for party tricks.
Clever clever! Always enjoy clicking on your name to see your posts! This one did NOT disappoint 🙂 Tipping my morning cup to you, my friend!
Cleverly done!
