There once was a woman from Cork
Who ate black pudding with a fork
When the lads came around
The rumors were sound
She was better than the Duchess of York-

A fabulous effort, Fia!
Meter’s off a bit, but with such rolicking humor and rhythmical ease, who’s counting, because you onviously intended to please. ; )

Simple but very effective. Creates a poetic scene for the reader to envision easily.

Awesome.
Indeed, it’s that little angel/demon upon our shoulder, compelling us to write something, anything, to relieve the pressure of wanting to say something to the void. Life?Love?Pain?Loss? All of it.
