“Heart this blog if you ‘Like’ it!”
Howdy Folks! Are you ready for today’s Poetry Challenge?
This one should be a lot of fun if you take your
Imagination and let it run!
“Rebel”
Here is a “Wiki” definition of what a “Cliche” is:
A cliché or cliche (pronounced UK: /ˈkliːʃeɪ/, US: /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, rendering it a stereotype, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful. ~Wikipedia
In other words…
So then do the sayings:
“All work and no play really make Jack a dull boy?”
Does sunshine really follow thunder?
Does that cat really have your tongue?
And what’s all this about idle hams…er I mean hands!
Did you know that every line of this poem below is a cliche?
Now if you are ready to take on our poetry game
Let’s begin with the Rules…
Here you go!
Here is a listing of Cliches for your reference:

‘If You Don’t Have Anything Nice to Say”
Some might say,
“If you don’t have anything nice to say,
don’t say anything at all.”
Learn to turn the other cheek,
No harsh words should you speak.
But I say,
I can’t always live my life that way
when backed against a wall.
From a verbal assault, I’ll stand my ground
A battle of words, I won’t back down.
Don’t speak unless your spoken to,
I normally don’t.
Talk your trash to me,
remain silent, I won’t.

Here is one from my friend Sonnets:
Awesome blog and challenge, Rebel! Looks like fun.
Another one by Sonnets:
Some say “time heals all wounds”, just give it time
If magically it’s passage makes things right
Time on your hands, it isn’t worth a dime
But I say waiting for time causes plight
While it’s under your skin the wound grows deep
If nothing is ventured, nothing is gained
You have to work and purge it, let it seep
While the hurt and sorrow of it remained
That excess baggage wound never does heal
With passage of time you still feel regret
Until you dig deep down find how you feel
A deep hurtful wound you’ll never forget
With time on your hands you simply must work
For some might say times a glimmer of hope
Responsible for yourself you can’t shirk
But I say time waits for no one, you dope

Yet another write from my friend Sonnets. I appreciate her support…
Cliche Sonnet
A list of cliches in due time
I wonder do they have to rhyme?
They get under my skin and stay
Seems cliches rub me the wrong way
The Muse is blocked I climb the walls
All bent out of shape the MUse calls
Glimmer of hope a write I pray
Seems cliches rub me the wrong way
I’ve simply had it up to here
I’ll blow a gasket lose my cheer
I want to write, the Muse will pay
Seems cliches run me the wrong way
A list of cliches in due time
Seems cliches rub me the wrong way

Hey great challenge Jon and Reb!
Well, it is approaching the Midnight hour in my neck of the woods. Time for this ole Rebel to fly to roost. I’ll leave the light on fer ya so you can see to write. I’ll check back tomorrow evening after work…
OK Reb after reviewing old files I found this one and revisxed it to fit the theme tonight
GRUMPILSTILTSKIN’S CLICHE RETORTS
Some might say
Every cloud has a silver lining.
But I say
Every cloud has a lot of rain in it.
And it’s probably coming my way.
Soon.
Some might say
After the rain comes a rainbow
But I say
So what? I’m colorblind.
Some might say
It’s always darkest before the dawn.
But I say
It’s always darkest before the dawn patrol comes and bombs the living hell out of everything.
Some might say
It has to get worse, before it gets better
But I say
I know.
Thanks for reminding me that this is still better than it will be.
Thanks for giving me something to look forward to!
Some might say
Every rose has its thorn
But I say
Every side has its thorn
Some might say
Midnight is where the day begins
But I say
You just gotta wait about six freaking long hours more in the dark before it starts getting light.
Some might say
Cheer up, it’s not the end of the world.
But I say
Are you sure?
Some might say
This too, shall pass
But I say this too shall pass gas.
Just what I need.
Like my life doesn’t stink enuf already.
Some might say
Life’s not so bad, when you consider the alternative.
But I say
There’s an alternative? Hmmm…

I found another old file from back in the day and reworked it for this challenge.
Caught a cold
tried give it back
but noone around
hack hack hack
so here I lay
flat on my back
nose running away
my head in a sack
body’s heated up
but don’t get near
bugs on the loose
and he’s a pain in the … 😯
well….a short for Hump Day 🙄
So happy to see you here Rebel… :love: :love:
I love everything you write!!!!!! :love:
Wonderful Blog Everyone!!!!!!!! :love: :love: 😀 :love: :love:

A quick one…thumbs up for all! 🙂 :love:

welcome Reb again and your a excellent host!
TIME
Some might say
Whether yesterday or today
“Time heals all wounds”
Should I send them all balloons?
To hurry up the healing process
Maybe it’ll be a great success
I really doubt it, though
Give time time, even if it’s slow
But I say some things never heal
My branded heart, I can still feel
The words he said so very long ago
Seered and scarred, how well I know
Time and time again, I think
His burning words, brought me to the brink
I’ve heard his bark is bigger then his bite
But I say, there’s no way to make it right
In a split second, I was scarred for life
Forever dealing with all that strife
Time can be a double edged sword
Leaving deep wounds, I can’t afford…
