Author's Note

Two syllables a line. (I think?). :)
Chap is another word for friend. (I think). :))
It's kind of a metaphor for how broken up this place can get. (I think). :)))

Do you mind if I ask who this is in reference to?

[Relic]

It's in reference to anyone who likes to start trouble, Ookpik. We should all stick to writing poems, that's why we signed up here. :)

[---]

Oh? What if it's precisely people's poems that are causing so much trouble?

Would it not be easier, friend, if we communally chose to stop stirring the proverbial pot?

[Relic]

Yes, I agree. If I must block someone I will, though I don't usually do that. I like to steer clear of trouble and keep to myself.

[---]

Ah, but you're missing my point - with a poem like this, are you really keeping to yourself? Or are you instead actively instigating, and thus being part of the problem?

[Relic]

Who are you?

[---]

lol that seems like the kind of question someone would ask at the beginning of an interaction. Regardless, you've commented on my work before, something about it being familiar - must've been a few weeks ago

Ah, Tim,
nice Skeltonic-like Verse!

But, totally original to You, I'm thinking.
Whatever! A well-struck ditty, My Friend, in all the flair 'n flavor of your creative juices, in addressing a recent onsite fiasco.
Great advice, too, for us all.
Even the emoticon smile is hyphenated, with an ending period! : )

I really enjoyed the originality of this one, Tim.
Thanks for sharing your brand of wise satire! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Relic]

ha, thank you very much for reading, Richard. :)

[Ken Simm.]

Now I really enjoyed running with this one. And the subject matter.... fits the style so well. I also agree for what its worth.

[Relic]

Thanks, Ken. :)

Your enjambment on "e . . . vil" . . . then seeing Tahsin's review "hard to e-breathe" . . . something e . . . silly might be burbling down there! Your title beckoned my mouse-click with verve, since I've been trying to do just that in recent days! Nice way to apply your anti-static spray! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Relic]

I had no shark repellant so... :) Thanks margie.

Really needed when some are running to splash soil on each other. It's getting hard to e-breathe here😅 nice formatting!😀

[Relic]

Thanks, Tahsin. We need a little humor around her.
