A woman recently told me after reading some love poetry
that it made me seem "so cute and cuddly".
She was probably drunk, plastered and bubbly,
But I can't stand that word. "Cuddly". I hate cuddly.
Cute is manageable, enjoyable at times,
not for sweetness but for the chance it implies,
cuddly, on the other hand, is a word that denies,
"Cuddly". I hate cuddly, the worst of replies.
But it appears that at cuddly I'm stuck,
no chance for a good roll or a f*ck,
Ever trapped in that word like swampy muck,
I'm "Cuddly". I hate cuddly. Just my luck.
Author notes
Product of a dry spell. Wait 'til I find somebody I can trick myself into thinking I like, then it will change tone. In the meantime, the laughs are at my expense, which is nice every once in a while.
Please tell me what you think

Let me stop giggling for a mo! "a word that denies!' - great interpratation...fun read.
-
Amazing job!!!
You should really consider publishing this write...
Its different than any other write I've read in a long time... maybe even ever
I loved the way the phrases kind of bounced, they flowed very well
It didn't seem like you forced the rhymes at all
Great job!!!!
I love it!!!

Sometimes you have to do what is necessary to get the old muse back in action... I'm not that sure that I too would enjoy being called cuddly... well done on a good write here

Is this like "cuddly" means overweight?? cause my motto was always "I dont wanna out weigh my lay" when I was younger. I was a bit "cuddly" for awhile and know that is sucks to be judged by the cover instead of whats inside. I went on to marry a very tall very athleticly lean man who doesnt seem to mind the fact that I am cuddly!! So I think your poem was pretty great!!

So True
I like the frustration I can feel coming from you in this piece, and I understand it so well, as I am one of those cuddly people. And I hate it to. It's so frustrating. Any way good job, I liked the humor in it, I liked the annoyance I could feel. Keep writing.

I couldn't help but return for another giggle.

Hmm. I have to agree with yourhot21 - it made me laugh. Chuckle, rather. However, cuddly does seem like kind of an odd word to reply with to a poem, even if it was a love poem.
Write on.

Haha. This was a good poem. It made me laugh.

Great
It is awesome- I could never write a poem that good and I agree, I would never want my poem called 'cuddly'
YUCK!
-
Oh God, this is perfect!! I hate 'cuddly' too...
"She was probably drunk, plastered and bubbly" Love that part, its hysterical....great!!
Man, I'm so sorry to not have anything productive to say to you! Here I want to give a good critique and I can't find anything wrong with the poem!!
The last stanza is priceless to.
-
A little humorous with emotion though. The ryhme was a little repetitive at times, which helped the flow in parts but not in some.
Second stanza was the best, left an impression aswell.
Nicely done.

very interesting write. I don't hate the word cuddly but sometimes the phrase is overused. I reaally enjoyed this. Thanks
-
Nice word play,and yeah cuddly is a derogotory in my book...
-
Interesting...
I would not laugh at this poem! It does suck to have a spell where you do not meet anyone who is interesting enough to make you wanna lay down with them. I am by no means a prude but I must be somewhat into you in order to get intimate. I definately feel you when you wrote in your comments about this poem that you will wait til you can find someone you can trick yourself into thinking you like. I have found myself in that same position...Maybe you should look at your expectations because I have found that at times I set my standards so high I deny myself the oppurtunity to be happy! I hope your situation has improved. Thank you for sharing your feelings SO candidly!

Oh come on... cuddly is cute. It's that feeling that makes you soft and mushy and playful inside... wanting to hold something near and dear. There are times I read poetry for inspiration and times I read it for entertainment, this is definitely one of those pieces that fall into the entertainment category. Sharing a smile and spreading a little laughter among others is a good talent to have. Thank you for the giggles and grins.

Awww I think someone has a problem with affection! What's up with that? I mean... I'm not much of a "cuddly" person.. in fact I don't think I've ever seriously used that word before.. but I have nothing specifically against it either! You're silly. Hopefully someone can tear down that wall.
