Everyone that has ever ventured into the realm of mating words has been disappointed as often as a paramour has in chasing skirts, and yet they keep on keepin' on.

wonderful and witty meta poem about writing poetry i can relate sometimes i can get rhymes to work, and meter forget about it I can never get that to scan

Iâ??m happy to help you with your question. A meter is a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. Different types of meters have different names, such as iambic, trochaic, anapestic, dactylic, etc. To check the meter of a poem, you need to identify the syllables and mark them as stressed or unstressed, and then group them into feet according to the meter type1.
There are some online tools that can help you with checking the meter of poetry, but they are not always accurate or reliable. Some of them are:
â?¢ For Better for Verse: An interactive online tutorial that can train you to scan traditionally metered English poetry. It gives you instant feedback and explanations for your scansion.
â?¢ Syllable Counter: A tool that can count the syllables in each line of a poem and show you synonyms and rhymes for each word. It can also help you write different forms of poetry, such as haiku, sonnet, limerick, etc.
â?¢ Poetry Assessor: A tool that can compare your poems with a set of 150 poems by established poets and give you a score based on various criteria, such as lexical density, sentiment, imagery, etc.
â?¢ Rhythmicalizer: A tool that can identify free verse prosody and analyze the rhythmic features of modern and postmodern poems.
I hope these tools can help you improve your poetry skills and enjoy the beauty of language. Thank you for chatting with me

I enjoyed reading your poem. It flows well and for the most part it rhymes well. I like your artwork choice and I understand the misspelling of your words were to make a point. I agree that we sometimes get writers' block. And when that happens to me, I just take a break from writing, because we sometimes rush our thoughts, just to enter the contest. We should focus more on exactly what we are trying to express instead of winning. Best wishes.

    Thanks so much Angel. I hope you read my authors notes that explained that every verse showed mistakes and it was actually harder to write with no meter one line, misspelled words another, and it almost killed me not to finish the rhyming line with the word time. So I am glad you caught all of that and I thank you so much, dear friend for your kind comments.

Hey, that's smart! So any errors are intentional. Can't I even suggest "ev'ry time" in the 3rd? No, I can't can I! But a fun verse with a very relatable conclusion, trust me! Well done and good luck! Debbie

    Hahaha, Debbie. Believe me, every time I look at it, I want to correct it.
    And yours would be the obvious answer. Lol...It was actually harder to write one with intentional mistakes when you know better.
    Thanks Debbie for such a fun review and comments.
    I appreciate it so very much!!

I think all writers feel the way you do and it is relatable. It is hard to write something that will be a winning entry. I think they want something new and different but not the same thing. Excellent work!

Hi
This is a witty poem about writer's block and how writing seems to allude us. It reminds us we need to work hard to find our muse and keep our minds sharp so we don't make mistakes. I like the purposeful misspellings.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest,
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Joan
