Playing with Exes…..

Hello Poetry Lovers

Well, back to poetry prompts from the wonderful Sue Burge’s mind gym. This time it’s using words with ‘Ex’ and possibly ‘ly’. I only managed one of the latter but I got in there with the ‘ex’s’.

I drew so many women last night during I Claudius (who’s watching that on BBC4 ? – isn’t it still wonderful?!) so I was happy to illustrate this and show you my results of this prompt. Read on if you dare…..

The Extract….

It was extremely bad form 

To use such expletives 

And express my views like that 

And to compare you to excrement

I can’t help being so extrovert

And talking to excess 

Or rather shouting excruciatingly

No, I’m not from Exeter

Nor from Exmouth neither 

Excuse me for my lack of excuses

I hope you liked that piece, PL’s. I know you all have “Ex’s” in you too, so answers on a postcard please…….

Thanks for tuning in, Poetry Lovers. We’ll be back with more quirky pieces real soon….
