quibblers are fluent
nigglers who
will nitpick
vociferously…it’s best
to listen and nod

A Shadorma for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge – Synonyms Only – Poet’s choice. For my words I chose Dictionary.com’s most recent words of the day: Pettifog – quibble, niggle, nitpick & Voluble – loquacious, fluent, vociferous. I couldn’t resist packing all these beautiful words into one outrageous poem.

It’s best to keep nodding when listening to certain people. Cute poem!

Hahaha, you actually got me laughing, Kat! Yes, many’s the time I’ve had to just nod and hope it’s almost over 🙂 But to be fair, I’m sure others have done the same for me!
