Comment from Liilia

Exceptional

You are a master at rhyming and making the words flow like a brook. Fun and humor interwoven with the rather weird 'prompt' if you don't mind my saying so. The poet sounds very much alive, but that phrase does spice the thing up a bit. Thanks for the fun read and for using my painting to illustrate.

Hi Liilia thank you so much for your great review and rating for this poem a bit of fun and my second attempt for the contest. Love your work and thought you image confusion suited this piece. My other poem on site that I actually wrote for the contest is called. Not Goin anywhere but it got lost in the process so I came up with this one just in time to enter and your image I thought was perfect. Thanks again Cheers Christine😄

Thanks for all your kind remarks. I'm glad you are inspired by the contests - I always loved contests and they seem to trigger thoughts and energies that otherwise would just go on sleeping in the brain! Wishing you a great and creative day. Luv, Liilia

Good job! I like your funny poem. It has good rhythm and a nice flow. The format is attractive and easy to read. I don't see anything to change is perfect the way it is.

Thanks Gypsy Blue Rose for supporting my work again and reviewing this poem. It was a second go at the contest, as my original poem Ain't Goin Anywhere ended up on the general poetry site so I whipped this up when I realised what had happened. Always a bit of fun anyway . Appreciate your comments and rating Cheers Christine😀

This is a funny poem my friend and I enjoyed the witticism as I do in all your poems. Although to wake up dead is impossible as dead people don't wake up. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

For someone who woke up dead, you're making a lot of sense. I too am basically a zombie the next day when I spend time with the grandchildren. They play me right out. I'm stiff and sore in both body and mind. Must be getting old.

Yes, I reviewed your poem about taking your grandgirls out for laser tag, etc. I remember it.

Rhyming and rhythm has a good flow. You managed to even include losing your poem in this poem...How clever!

Hi Janet yes this is my second attempt for the contest. My other poem got misplaced ( by me) so I whipped this up instead. Glad you picked up about losing the other poem ha ha Thanks heaps for your review and comments Cheers

Comment from Ben Zedrine

Excellent

Ha! Really cool poem. Had me laughing. This sort of poem, especially the meter, reminds me so much of the ditty style poetry my grandmother used to write. It really took me back. Thank you.

Thank you Ben for having a read and for your excellent review. I like ditties and this was a 2nd attempt of a similar poem. On site now but no clues ha ha . Glad you had a laugh Cheers C

Excellent

I can sympathise with not finding the right spot to enter your poem (the first verse) I think I've mastered it now. A nice stream of consciousness poem. I liked the last verse. 'I'll stay around to write' that says a lot. We gotta keep on trying.
