this poem wears a sign
on its skeletal back:
attack
me if you will,
but bring donuts,
gin
or rum
-bled phrase,
something I can sink
my tangoed teeth
into. something that
just might
stick.
hey, bartender,
quick –
gimme something
with a little
……………..kick.

It’s Quadrille Monday over at dVerse, and I’m hosting.
Whimsygizmo's Blog 
one helluva shot of a prompt- a Moscow mule perhaps.
Oh my gosh, “tan goat teeth” and then the kick at the end?! Love!!!
You realize I’m picturing goats sitting upright on barstools, getting hammered, and then getting in a hoof-fight, right? 🙂
Ha.. love it… a kick-ass poem… love the rum-
bled part.
Ha. And I will take one of whatever she is having.
What a fun poem. Donuts and Rum…hmmm…I may have to try that as well.
Tangoed teeth is such a cool descriptor and turn on phrase as well.
Nice energy.
Hope the kick is not too hard.
Love your ‘rum
-bled phrase’ xxx
brilliant!
Hah! Love this take on the prompt! And the poem as the skeleton of words with the sign on its back…oh those signs that pranksters put on us — kick me —
Well done!
Like it.
Sure, I love it De ~ This is my favorite:
or rum
-bled phrase,
something I can sink
my tangoed teeth
Good one 🙂
Love it! You are so talented! 🙂
I might try donuts and gin tomorrow…sounds an interesting combination in the right company.
I love your skeletal poem and its ‘kick me’ sign, De! And thank God for the bartender – oh, that’s you!
Oh my, oh, my! Just love reading your ‘poem’poems. I’ll have a donut, please.
I like how an “attack” is associated with “donuts”.
I’ll mix you up some Liquid Cocaine (Bacardi, Jagermeister and Tequila)- that’ll kick you right into next week!
Yes, please.
🙂
Ooh, I’ll have one of those. Raking leaves all day, and more to go. Make mine something hot.
Love it! What a way to roll out those words!
I like this quadrille.
Too much fun–alert the media–killer phrases alert–danger, danger Will Robinson–humor is attacking, brevity is on the move; loe it.
I like “bled phrase”…good one, De..
Love this.
Kick-ass persona in this piece. I like the reference to the skeletal and how by the end we get a good idea of their personality and how they live their life.
Ha! Rum-bled phrase. How intoxicating.
Ha, ha. Love it!
