I am haunted each day by the smell,
Of perspiring pods, that below me, do dwell.
They exude such a stench,
and, good lord, I can't quench,
Those malodorous monsters from hell!
My socks turn to liquid; my shoes melt away.
My friends have seizures; my carpets, they fray.
My podiatrist died,
and I almost cried,
But I think I like him better this way.

Brilliant :')
HAHA! It's hilarious! But, just curious, what is a podiatrist?
My fav. line is " My friends have seizures; my carpets, they fray". It just seems really funny to me............:p
And the last line....aw, that's cruel! (but funny)
Overall, good usage of vocabulary and expressions! I really love limericks. Another humourous form of poetry is an epigram, though it's a bit tricky to write.
Keep up the good work!

A podiatrist is a foot doctor. Glad you liked the poem. I might have to give this epigram thing a try.
Hello!!! OK so this poem is hilarious!! I couldn't help but laugh.
Ha ha!
Try foot deodorant. LOL.
This is just another really funny poem that i can't really criticise.
This is my favourite part:
Lulz. It seems a bit hyperbolic, but that's what makes a piece like this work. Also, the fact it's in poetry form is the best thing about it.
Perfect choice.
Yes. I find inspiration in the strangest forms. Again, thank-you for your review, Renard.
this poem made me smile, and here's why. my brother and i joke about his feet all the time because they seem to destroy footwear, and reading this poem i was thinking of him from start to finish.
the humor is sort of childish, but i like it that way. the way you describe how awful your feet are is like you're describing a battle taking place. stuff's melting, people are dying and crying, all because of feet. i think the exaggeration really sells this poem.
i enjoyed the read.
Haha!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Melodrama is sort of my thing! Hail hyperboles!
Hahahaha. This is really funny. Good stuff.
Hey
this won't be a huge review, because I actually love this poem.
The sense of humour is ridiculous and childish in the best way possible and the poem as a whole is kind of adorable, if not a little gross.
My favourite part is the fact that its so over dramatic.
"My friends have seizures; my carpets, they fray."
I have the same problem, haha, and you captured it hilariously.
Your vocabulary is beautifully created for a poem about feet.
Keep writing xx
"Your vocabulary is beautifully created for a poem about feet" Great way to put it! took the feeling right out of my heart
Hi there, just a quick review on your poem
Firstly, I love how you came up with the idea. Even reading them is enough to spark the sense of humor in the poem. I like the end rhyme and I absolutely love the first stanza. Just one thing that makes me a bit unsatisfied is I'd expect more from the title. But then, it just simply tell the reader the 'description and feelings' of the writer about her stinky feet instead of bringing something uniqueness value through the good idea.
Perfect rhymes here and the last line is an original joke from you. Overall, I enjoyed reading your poem. Keep writing and good luck!
*Welcome to YWS*
Thanks for the review! Gosh darn, I thought I was being unique by writing about stinky feet..guess I have to take things up a notch. This poem is sort of meant to appeal to a younger audience (so no deep stuff)! I've already edited this poem a few times so I'm quite happy with it. That being said, I believe firmly in the idea that a good work is never finished so if you have any ideas on how I can make this better do tell!
Hi, MargoSuess, and welcomeeeeee to YWS! *throws confetti* Ahem.
I've never had great vocabulary (even for my age) and this, gosh, just makes me jealous even though you're way older than me.
Wow, I seriously loved this. The randomness and humor was amazing. I liked how you stinky feet just so happened to inspire you to write a poem. And it ends up being funny (what poem about stinky feet wouldn't?)
The major thing I want to gush about is your beautiful vocabulary.
This is probably my favorite line.
I really don't have much criticism to offer to you because this work was amazing! It was very humorous and I enjoyed reading it.
Thanks for writing this. The read was well worth it.

Gee, thanks! Feel free to check out my story "Five Hundred Pound Catastrophe" as well. One of my purposes for writing is to make people laugh. Haha! I've never considered my vocabulary as being well developed! I think it just comes as you age. But thanks! I'll be sure to review some of your works.
Thank you!
And sure, I'll check it out !
Hope you enjoy it! It's a fairly lengthy read...but I think it's pretty funny. Let me know!
Yep - I just finished. After I ate icecream. xD
