THE IDIOM I MADE UP IS - HE EXPLODED LIKE A PRESSURE COOKER My son has returned to our home He’s mouthy and just loves to moan Now nothing is right We constantly fight He’s like a dog missing its bone! His wife was once such a good looker Her red lips she just loved to pucker After botox and filler She looked like a gorilla ... He exploded like a pressure cooker! The tension between us is rife I’m his mum and not his ex wife But his reaction is mean Shouting, letting off steam She left him because of this strife!

I found your work well written and I enjoyed it for the comedic effect. The idiom is creative and fit the theme of the poem very well. The contest was highly competitive which left out about 10 poems which were worthy of placement – including this one. Thanks for entering the contest and I will check out some more of your creative work!

Thanks for taking the time to comment Jesse it is very much appreciated - I may not have placed in the contest but it inspired me to write 3 poems so with the inspiration from your contest I am still a winner with 3 poems rather than one:-) hugs Jan xx

Would you believe I find your write funny, your idiom clever and your poem full of potential? I do, do, do! Check out my idiom (at least the idiom itself - sort of stands out in title list), I think you'll be happy with me ... CayCay

Jeez, I thought it was her lips that exploded from the picture! Anyway, I couldn't decide whether to spell the name as Hilarious which is the adjective. I might have used Hillarious to make it more like a noun/name, but you have to decide for yourself. It's all good my friend.

Jan Allison
Date: 7/31/2016 5:01:00 AM

I used Hillary because of the syllable count for the limerick - have posted it now and credited you with the name:-) thanks again:-) hugs Jan xx
