What a fun and humorous look at the writing process. Excellent rhymes and spot on in the line count and that turn in the third stanza. I see you won the contest. Good for you. This is a creative poem and deserves the honor.

Very funny and the subtle humor and satire are excellent. The picture is a perfect mat to your words and the rhyme and rhythhm of the sonnet style are perfect. Well done.

Comment from Lylise
I love this poem that you have deemed to post
Your sarcasm still seems to be intact
It's this that I appreciate you most
A rhyming thing disguised as basic fact
I didn't understand the contest rule
I thought that they had misconstrued the style
A sonnet with no meter seems just cruel
A bunch of words in one big steaming pile
And here is where the turn's supposed to be
Why stick at at the end of all your write?
But you did this just fine with dignity
And wrapped it up with non-offensive spite
A job well done in only your design
Now answer this and go read one of mine
This cracked me up. I liked it a lot. Kiss Kiss

Lol. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the big sixer, Lynda. Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I realized the entry fee was only a small 2 bucks to write a sonnet. I already had the other piece written so I guess I'll hold onto it for another contest. Plus I was in the mood to see I could still pull off a 20 minute sonnet, lol. I really appreciate the gracious stars, L. I'm glad you liked this silly thing. Have a great day.

Hahaha I saw the contest fee was only two bucks and I thought, "For a sonnet??" I enjoyed your poem, Ron, and loved your humor. Best wishes in the contest.

Lol, yeah, I didn't even look at how much the entry fee was until after the piece I wrote was done. I guess I'll save that one for another time. I was really just poking some fun at the 2 dollar entry fee and had a chuckle along the way. A sonnet, two bucks, jeeez. Lol. Thank you for the excellent review, Karyn. I'm glad you liked this silly thing. Have a great day.

Comment from bard owl
Ah, a complaint. Yes the reward is not equal to the time and labor extended. Though, if truth be told, you know you had a bit of a good time writing this sonnetic (my newest word) masterpiece. Excellent contest entry. Very witty. Best of luck in the contest. Blessings, Linda

Thank you for the fantastic review, Linda. I was really just poking some fun. A sonnet contest where the entry fee's only 2 bucks, where's the logic in that? Lol. Yeah, I always have fun entering silliness into theses contests. I'll just have to save the fist sonnet for another time. I really appreciate the gracious stars, L. I'm glad you liked this silly thing.

Comment from Jeanie Mercer
It's a delight to see that this is in real sonnet form, with correct rhyme scheme and iambic pentameter. Some, of course, are not sonnets at all. Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

Thank you, Jeanie. Yes, I saw that from the beginning. The sponsor wasn't real clear on the rules so some folks just jumped in with whatever, lol. I'm glad you liked this silly thing. Thank you again.
