Ooo, I liked this one, Debbie. I loved the pun in "disgruntled" for a laryngitic pig.

I generally don't comment on short poems because there just isn't that much to say about them, but I make an exception for especially clever ones like this. Good job on this shorty. - Jim

A poet I moist definitely am not so I can't comment on whether it's set up correctly. Instead, I can say thank you for making me smile and feeling sorry for the poor little pig who is oinkless. He has something to say and no way to say it! That would anger me too.

Smiles, Carol

I am in a good mood. I was nominated for best book and best story this last month. I won't win, but I might place. This is so cool. The picture is so cute. The poem is funny. What made you choose this to write about? Karen

Do you know John Ciarmello?
He just changed his icon and it is the cutest thing ever.
I am not going to be suave and clever anymore, because no one got my story right. They were dolls! Francesca finds Frank was supposed to be a funny silly mystery. It fell flat like the oven door slamming ona souffle. Oh well. :-)

I was coming back to it for a think. And will still do that. Was rather preoccupied with my pointless pig!

I edited it some more have a look. Karen

Thank you for sharing this cute poem with us. The alliteration in this poem was fun to read. My granddaughter is studying to be a veterinarian technician and delivered baby pigs the other day. She was so proud.

I'd be glad if all of the piggies could not squal for a day or two. One of my wife's favorite tv shows Dr. Pol the animal doctor show. Along with many other animal doctor shows. So although we live nowhere near them I'm hearing all sorts of them squirming and screaming. Your poem is in unique format with 6 lines and about 16 syllables and funny yet sad for piggy. Thanks Sharing your poem with us.

Thank you so much for your kind review and personal perspective with which I can sympathize! Especially if they're screaming too. There must be a lot of quarrelling going on in the porcine world! I appreciate your thoughts here. Debbie

Enjoyed reading your light and fun verse. The use of alliteration of your "p" and "d" added to the flow and added "weight". Using the multi-syllable words also added. Keep writing.

Indeed, what can be more disturbing than to have an angry message that you are literally dying to verbalize, only to discover that you are unable to speak. Oh my God, what am I to do? I may actually explode with anger! Never been there, hope to never arrive at that point.

This is so fun and tickled my funny bone. I love little pink pigs too. It's terrible to be oinkless though. Sending you my best today as always.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale

Oh, no! This poor little piggy went to market oink-less! So, it was obviously meant for a contest, but I don't see it listed here. I say this because it is so disarmingly different from your usual:-)

The presentation is terrific though - great color!

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, Pam! A last minute bit of nonsense! Am still querying what happened when even the committee notify me that the entries are being considered but Tom says I didn't enter (even though my account was robbed of the entry fee). I give up! xo

reply by Pam Lonsdale on 03-Feb-2024

I've heard of this happening before - sucks that Tom couldn't help you out.

reply by Pam Lonsdale on 04-Feb-2024

Debbie, this reply to my remark came from "blind contest" instead of your name. I wonder if you've been entered into it.

reply by the author on 04-Feb-2024

This was a mess on FS's part from the start. I was always entered but for some reason it didn't register on my post. I'm not going to win so, in this case, it'll make no difference:)

Aww. I personify everything and you have created an entire story with your poem. I feel for the pig and wish it well.

Very well written with alliteration, too. I enjoyed reviewing this. :)

Best wishes,

Alex
