Cliquesters.....For my friend Dan, Hooded Stranger

Cliquesters

Formidable are we
as needs arise
We stand as one
we speak no lies
I have your back
you have mine too
Why look surprised
it's what cliquesters do

We have secret meetings
with secret codes
We tell no one nothing
so that no one knows
Just us, the special
the chosen few
Why look surprised
it's what cliquesters do

The rest do not matter
oh no, they can't
We stick together
and let them rant
We let them whine
and cry boo hoo
Why look surprised
it's what cliquesters do.

Where do I start?

Jetz, firstly, what an honour to have a poem written and dedicated to me...I am truly honoured. I love this piece, I know exactly what this piece is about and you have captured the meaning perfectly. 'Cliquesters' is our new 'buzz' word. "Why look surprised, it’s what cliquesters do" - Repetition at it's best...it is like a summary of each verse...great! Favourite lines: "We stand as one we speak no lies" and "We tell no one nothing so that no one knows" Thank you kindly for this piece, I am touched. kindest regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why look surprised, it’s what cliquesters do.

Hi Dan, Forgive me for

Hi Dan, Forgive me for not responding sooner. I am so pleased that you liked this piece. After we had that 'discusion' where we invented our new word....the words just flowed. The poem was the least I could do for the man that wrote me a song, eh?? Besides; "Why look surprised, it's what cliquesters do!!!!! " as always, Sue

Hi Jayne, I had to laugh

Hi Jayne, I had to laugh at your response. I don't really believe in cliques. Mostly, I think they are figments of others imaginations. This was written, tongue in cheek, but the truth is, now it seems to be becoming a fact..Who knew??!! Thanks for reading and responding. Sue
