Poetic Asides asked for poems about Opposites. My friend Pearl Girl is going to post this for me, because their format changed and unfortunately, I cannot offer you their link. But it’s also to be found at Poets United, of course!  Amy

Yeah, Like That’s Gonna Happen (an acrostic)

Over at the bar
Posturing like he’s all that and a bag of chips.
Poster boy for the Stud Club.  The exact
Opposite of what she needs.
Staring at her like she’s a prize filly
In need of the right rider, or at least his
Tether.  She’s got her act together,
Easy to say “no” to his line of
Shit.
