You call me a bitch,
Say I’m hysterical,
Look like a witch,
Being heretical.
Stomp like a child,
Screech, make no sense.
Look at that girl–pretty, mild–
I’m wrapped too tight, way too tense.
But I think it’s pretty ironic,
You’re flailing your arms,
Shrieking I’M histrionic.
I discovered this prompt on the blog The Count of North Clifton.
Original prompt found on Sammiscribbles.
Thanks, I admire folk who can poet, write poems! Good stuff funny too. I love the ping back, they make the world go round I think don’t they?

I was listening to some angry feminist poetry and was inspired.

I wrote about a gazillion word binge about an angry young feminist set back in the late 70s. Partly because of the “treatment” for hysteria and histrionics that was at least Victorian dark ages that they put my mother through.

That’s a really good point. Manhattan types do the cryogenic fat removal thing at $3000 a pop and we know how much good it does THEM.

It’s got a nice rap beat. 👏🏽👏🏽 You need some heavy chain necklaces, an oversized T-shirt and cut-off jeans with clunky Air Jordans and you’re cool. Maybe some diamond grills…

Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to create a top notch articleÖ but what can I sayÖ I put things off a lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.
