Another first for me, funny poems. You make poetry do what stories do but with rhymes and rhythm.

LOL, i'm not the first to make humorous poetry folks have been doing it for a very long time. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece and that I was able to share a new experience with you. ✨🦋

I have definitely made characters that have very tragic backstories to develop their backstory or reasons why they are the villain or hero. I always feel bad for them when I give them some misery to create their character with, so I definitely understand this back and forth I have had it a couple of times with some of my characters.

Verdant Butterfly's avatar

Oh, are you going to publish any of your stories on substack? I’ve be interested in reading about this tragic hero of yours.

Mina Howell's avatar

Thank ye kindly Mina, LOL you loved my whiny villain who isn’t really bad he’s just the victim of poor plot conflict. 😁✨🦋
