I love the tag. There should be #ask tags for you and others as well.

    Please respond via poetry.

How about doggerel? (Doggerel? Wasn't she King Lear's ugliest daughter?)

Please Respond Via Poetry

You ask me to play the poetry card?

That's how you make a grrl's life hard.

Rhyming couplets might just do --

I'll squeeze out a line or two.

But TNG, where do I start?

Do I have a broken heart?

Revellations have been made

He said sex workers have been paid.

TMI? TMI! you say

Sure, I'll save it for another day.

Emotions abound, my heart is swelling

It's all over, but the yelling.

The heart is cracked amid the din

But that is how the love gets in.

Now tng, add to the poem as another voice. Advance the plot or develop character using only rhyming couplets.
