The "F" Word

by CJ Maleney   Aug 5, 2017


So I can swear like a trooper,
Because that's what I once was.
But this is a different kind of "F" Word,
And I struggle with it because,

Because it gives me a voice in ways,
A thing, I feel I don't deserve
A responsibility and personal choice,
To credit written words.

There are so many to choose from,
And I will read into the early hours.
You're an amazing, lovely, bunch of gits,
For you dumped on me this power,

All those little "F's" You clicked,
Well ! You all started up a tally.
My little "F" changed its colour
So my thoughts I now must rally.

The decision process is hard it's true
There is just so much to read,
I think I've found one worthy of my praise
But to that nomination beat.

I sit here and I write this live, and in awe
I'm not grumpy and I do not fret,
Thank you all for clicking favorite

You guys are just the best

Seriously thank you all so much. It may not sound like it, but this poem is a little show of gratitude.

    You caught me there with the "F" word (you also caught me
    with your poems!) but as I kept reading I understood where this
    was leading too. This is indeed a write filled with appreciation and it
    just makes the reader smile...keep penning!

    Yay! The title was another catch. Believe me, your writing is so easy to like, it's great! When I first came back to the site two months ago your poems were on the front page and I read and read more starting from that. I don't have to say more you know how many of your works I have had the pleasure to read, many of them added to faves. Looking forward to many more. This was a beautiful thank you poem. :-)
