Poetic Asides prompt 10 for April poetry month 2021 is the same as the title of my poem.
Get —
knotted, rooted, shafted,
stuffed. (We won’t mention
the F word. We don’t have to.
It’s implied in all the above.)
Get a move on, get on with it,
get going, get a wriggle on,
get off your butt / backside / bum,
get your arse into gear.
Get a load of that! Did you
get a gander? No, but did you
get a good look, an eyeful, did
you get your eyes knocked out?
Oh, get on with you! Get away
with you! Get outa here! Get off it!
Get over yourself! Get real! Get
along (little dogie) get along.

ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!

much❤love
Ha, not so much here. A wet night, few children in this neighbourhood – and it's Australia, which has only recently started doing Halloween. Perhaps it's happening in the cities ... but then, there are all the restrictions due to the pandemic, which differ from place to place. I'm not sure there are a lot of ghosts and monsters going door to door tonight. Though I have some sweeties to hand out, just in case.
DeleteIn real terms, it is of course the season of Spring here now, which is not really the Halloween season.
The wordplay was such much fun
ReplyDeleteFor me too!
DeleteMissed this one way back when, Rosemary, but I'm glad I GOT AROUND TO IT now!
ReplyDeleteHa ha!
DeleteI get it! I call it word forensics, for lack of a better word, and used it in my "crack" poem a while back. You got get, girl!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I got gotten!
DeleteI Grok what you're trying to get here. ;)
ReplyDeleteA grok is the ultimate getting.
DeleteI got a kick out of this one!
ReplyDeleteGood!
Deleteah, i love this, this was fun to read out loud. that opening stanza is both brilliant and strong, put the poem into a nice groove... very well done
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you and Magaly (and maybe others) tried it aloud.
DeleteWhen I read this one aloud, I felt the need to add many hand gestures. And first stanza made me grin... the F word kept on popping out of each line.
ReplyDeleteThere's no doubt I'm a wicked girl.
DeleteVery fun! I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGood, I hoped people would.
DeleteG as in Grrrr. I once study letter sound properties and the hard G was the one associated with aGGression more than any other.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, there's certainly a touch of aggression here, mostly but not only in the first verse. Interesting!
DeleteI get! Love the wordplay, too.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to do.
DeleteWhen the going gets tough, the tough get going and get to getting!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's how we get go-getters.
DeleteHA Ha ! the two great words in the English language... fuck and arse...
ReplyDeleteused together pretty effective too !! It is tragic that the Americans have let go of the latter...I think an organisation should be formed to bring back 'ARSE" to America. Ass is a poor substitute.
It's particularly odd to see it as 'ass' in American-written historical novels set in England.
DeleteThis was fun, Rosemary. I liked the way you used the different words with the same connotation in a lump in the first two verses. I must try that.
ReplyDeleteYou read my nonsense poem for Day 10 also, and left a nice comment,

I had to be in a certain mood to write what I wrote, I don't think I could write it again. Could you or would you write yours again like you did?
..
Probably not! It came to me in a flash and I just went where it led.
