This was my response.

I love cock slipping

I wouldn't want to have that job!" My father, ever wise, replied, "Son, always remember that one man's shit is another man's bread and butter."
That's not dinner; that's me writing a poem!BooMerengue said:Dinner, anyone?
*Catbabe* said:I have an ever-growing list of words that bug me. And I fully admit to being odd about words and how much they can bother me.
One word can ruin a whole poem for me, even if the rest is well-written because my mind will just keep going back to it to obsess with why it doesn't work for me.
They are usually words that seem lazy to me, like they weren't thought about before they were placed into the poem. They feel like poetic buzz words or clichés.

Are there words that you dislike seeing in a poem? I was commenting on a poem on another board. The poem contained the words maggots and flies. Of course, the poet was talking about the belly and eyes of a dead bear, so those unappealing words fit.
But how about erotic poetry with drip, dripping, drippy? Squish? "Her womanhood oozed with my slimy love." In the past few years, I've read similar here at Lit. Of course, all words can work perfectly fine in the right poem. I still don't like drip, squish and maggot.
I also wonder about clowns with cotton candy in the middle of a serious poem about how God created mountains and seas. Or a erotic poem with breathtaking imagery that suddenly flings at the reader a "I'll roll over like a puppy for you" line.
Tell me which words bug you, so I don't end up thinking it's just me and my squishy weirdness.
