Ah! Communication between the sexes.. always a minefield. Thanks for trying out the first mini-challenge on Real Toads.
ReplyDeleteEgads! *clutches heart* A form poem--albeit an unknown and obscure one only used by Rumanian fortune tellers on Friday the 13th. I love it, and of course, now I have to try it myself. This is rather a dooorbell.
ReplyDeleteyou dont really care?
ReplyDeletei am thinking hell might have frozen over...a form poem...(faints)
Oh, you guys!

ReplyDelete^^Christopher, don't "comment" on my poem with a poem of your own.
ReplyDeletecommunication it makes or breaks us.
ReplyDeleteClever back and forth, and a form that's new to me. Thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteI think I could learn a form by Romanian gypsies ( I mean)...
ReplyDeleteSpeak Shea Speak!!!
Cool form here! I like!
ReplyDeleteAn oddquain, huh? There's a joke lurking around here somewhere . . .
ReplyDeletenow I need to get educated and research what a mirror oddquain is...Love the bottom photo!
ReplyDeleteLove this ~ and it's not a haiku! Oddquain ~ what an odd name! I've learned something new today.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I should be impressed or insulted ;-)
ReplyDeleteI adore the condescending tone. I was gonna tease you about the Haikus and now a fucking form, but the gallery has teased you enough. :)
ReplyDeleteThis has me smiling widely! Love it! Quirky form and all it still speaks very truly of an eternal problem - how do you get a man to actually speak? *smile*
ReplyDeleteOuch, sweetie you don't have to yell I'm right 'hear'.
ReplyDeleteI like the form and you did it well with the words and pictures too!!!
ReplyDeleteYou made that look easy! Brilliant :o)
ReplyDeleteYou are in great form today, Shay! (Not that I have ever seen or heard of that form, so now here I go to find out more....but you'll always be my first mirror oddquain.)
ReplyDeleteSo unlike you and yet so strong.... LOve it!
ReplyDeleteIt's probably safer to just keep quiet.
ReplyDeleteOddquain? Cool poem. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting poetic form on an ever-confounding topic!

I don't know this form--looks fun! And "Ruff harumph" is just right.
ReplyDeleteSweet read! One of my characters was all about the pooky cuteness too!

Comuunicating the unspoken and unspeakable at times is what poets do well.....and that you are Shay a poet....this one speaks vollumes....love it! :-)

ReplyDeleteTwo for one - I like it!
ReplyDeleteClever! Communication can be a challenge sometime. Your poem makes that clear. Nice write.
