its flavor mawkish
the soupy play left bad tastes
in our agog maws
Picture
In fairness, I never saw Dames at Sea (pictured left), but... really? In 2014? 

Also, I have to say I've never seen a bad play... some I didn't like, or didn't "get" or couldn't hear very well. I have deep appreciation for the craft and the hard work and courage it takes to do what they do, night after night... 

Let's hear it for actors!  [clapping]


DEFINITION of this 2-syllable adjective:
  1. characterized by sickly sentimentality; weakly emotional; maudlin.

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
