Hello!
from textfixer.com
Well, I was a bit miffed when I checked and the word ‘mettle’ is spelt the way it is. I had grand plans forming in my head when I put it together with the next four words in the line up!
Those hopes dashed, I was not sure where to go from there. So I just made it up as I went along.
Don’t I always?! 😛
Metal Cricket Backbone Diplomatic Crackdown Comet Leather Abducted Mighty
The clang of metal as
He slammed out of the door
Informed me the coatrack
Was off again.
The Cricket on my shoulder
Muttered to me about how
Having a backbone did not negate
Diplomacy.
I disagreed: “I’ve tried
Every diplomatic tactic
I can muster; now sanctions
Are all I have!
This crackdown is just tough love”
I tell the Cricket, sighing.
“He streaks, like a Comet, through
All of our lives:
Ice, dust and small rocky bits
All wrapped in a leather jacket!”
(Like my son’s been abducted, a
Mighty huff in his place).

I am not in love with the above, but I don’t hate it either. It is what it is.
The “Ice, dust and small rocky bits” line was taken from this link about Comets.
I see that a leather jacketed male is in evidence, again 😉
Did you think of the game first, or Jiminy when you saw ‘cricket’? I thought of the game first, but aside from getting someone to mention it at the start of the poem, I wasn’t sure how to work the game in. A conscience seemed an easier fit.
Where would you have gone with these words?
