Hoodwinked!

The bandits are coming, the bandits are coming!

I thought I'd been bamboozeled when I read

Hood-wink!

"Who have I ticked off now?", I tried to think.

Then Gomer Pyle style

I imagined hearing, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!".

This group of Poetic Bandits swept across my pages.

Like Robin Hood's merry men, they did it in stages.

 

Armed with quills spilling encouragement

and inkwells that leaked comment after comment.

They captured my words leaving praise in their place.

Oh my, they've been all over my AP space.

You gotta hand it to these bandits.

What more can I say?

They sure knew how to make this poet's day.

For not only did they comment, they left messages too!

So keep your eyes open cause they may

Hood-wink! you.

    BRAVO!



    I have never been hoodwinked by the Poetic Bandits but i can see it surely raises the esteem. You dear poet are so worthy of their time and comments. Your poetry graces this site with a flavor that is rare these days. With the wonder and joy that you've expressed with this tribute poem, I just may join that group. I love what they stand for. Your Gomer Pyle reference was wonderful! LOL I had to chuckle. You are such a refreshing poet and person from where I sit. Great work!


    Much LOVE Always ♥

    Due to finals week I was unable to participate in this hoodwink so I am happy to be able to read and enjoy your poetry now. I loved the Gomer Pyle line and could hear it in his characteristic twang. This was a lovely gesture for a wonderful group. It is fun to read that the "hoodwinks" are appreciated. Peace, Liz

    The Hoodwinkers got Hoodwinked by lovely words of praise. I'm sorry I didn't hoodwink you, had some family matters to take care of, but I sure will look into your poetry. Better be late than never.

    How kind.

    You felt not like a strange when I began to read. Like a friend who meeded to meet and say Amen. Kind is one thing I would say you are. Down home as a country Guitar. Soft and sweet to the ears.
    Like I said you are very interesting and someone I would be glad to say is my friend...mac

    I like it. It isn't normally a style I prefer, but it was well written, and very playful. I like how you phrased alot of the stuff you said in this.

    "For not only did they comment, they left messages too!
    So keep your eyes open cause they may
    Hood-wink! you. "

    That was funny! Thanks for sharing it.
