Question: Do you sometimes use an accusatory tone with your poems!?
*****
GUTS AND STUFF EVERYWHERE

Do you possess
faculties and whatnot!?
I mean stuff, like
fortitude and wherewithal!.

How about a small
measure of clarity!?
I don’t mean, like
acute or crystalline or anything!.

What about drive!?
Is there something inside you,
I mean, like, can it be
surgically removed!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
We possibly need another phrase rather than "inside you"!. For what is truly inside is heart and lung - so where is the love and emotion!? ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely!.
Here's one of mine:

The Cheney-Rumsfeld Epigram

Overbearing, overmighty, over proud too,
You've got to be an idiot to follow this crew!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Clever poem, sir!. Yes, I am guilty of accusations and a sure drive!. It is me and cannot be surgically or psychically removed!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Accusatory tone is my forte,
Because I like conversation
I'm not put off by a question
I could answer them all day!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
