Discordant discussion
That sounds almost Russian,
A fight to a finish, in words.
Two variant notions
Inducing commotions
As bad as Iraqis and Kurds.
No pacifist parsons
Can outshout mad garçons
Who clash in a bout without blows.
But why all this fighting,
What war is igniting?
It’s obvious nobody knows
Just siblings disputing
Who ought to start muting
An ad on TV which annoys
But though that sounds horrid
It’s not half as torrid
As girls busy scrapping with boys!
Author notes
I hate these things but …
So, this is what I’d like from everyone……
1. Your word for inspiration is “Discord” .Your poem must project that you
understand it’s meaning and it must be used at least once, either in your poem
or title. – – – Done
2. 75-150 words please
81 Words I think
3. You may write free verse or METERED rhyme.
All my metered rhyme is free!
4. Your poem will be leaving OUT the letter “E” (Lipogram style)
This is the bit I hate, but there are no es that I can see
Nowhere in your poem or title should there be the letter E. Automatic DQ for
using it. — Done
