Well, you think you have a problem! Lol. I couldn't even do a fraction of what you're doing. You have actually composed a wonderful poem. All the best of luck. Ulla:)))

Ulla, thanks for the awesome review and the kind comments. It was a fun poem to do, but actually harder to purposely make mistakes. Lol, thanks again, dear friend.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I love the handwritten style of the font. The point of the poem works well with you telling all of us why you have a difficult time writing poetry. This speaks for so many of us when we can't seem to find our muse.
Thanks for sharing your gift for humor as you purposely don't rhyme in one of the stanzas.
This is excellent and deserves a prize.

Sometimes, it's harder to write bad poetry than to write good poetry.
Haha, but that's okay. You put it across unseamlessly.
Comment from Terry Broxson
All right this is very clever. I think it takes a good poet to write a satire about the problem with writing a rhyming poem when thinks (on purpose) don't come easy. Well done, and good luck in the contest. Terry.

Hi Terry, you maybe don't even remember if I thanked you for this one or not, but I know. So just trying to catch up on some old ones that were long overdue. I appreciate all the kind comments and for having fun with me on my poetry abuse. Thanks again, my very dear friend.

LOL, I believe you won that contest, I'm pretty sure I voted for you. Terry.
Comment from Daylily
This satirical posting highlights many difficulties encountered by hard-at-work poets who have rushed to get their poetry released. (Which is something I have been horribly guilty of doing myself.) The picture is a hoot and so relatable. This is an excellent entry in the contest. Best wishes!

Wow Lily, this is embarrassing that I am so many behind, but I hope you know that I care and can't let them go. So just trying to catch up on some old ones that were long overdue. I appreciate all the kind comments and for having fun with me on my poetry abuse. Thanks again, my very dear friend.

Poet Empathy must be a real thing! (Personally, I doubt you could do anything wrong.) Write on, Debi!
Smiles and hugs, Lily.

Comment from Paul McFarland
Very nice humor here. The prompt said "a short rhyming poem", but your second stanza doesn't rhyme. You get a pass on that because of the nature of your poem. Good job. Should do well in the contest.

Paul, oh my goodness, I think I need to go into author's notes and explain that one was on purpose. It is still a rhyming poem, but it would have not been funny if I wouldn't have screwed up that line, right? Will you let me know if that line wasn't obvious humor!
-
You're fine. That's what I meant by my comment.
-
I figured that coming from you, but had to make sure because someone tried to tell me that I could make it better if I wrote, 'all the time.'
So I got scared that I wasn't being obvious enough. Thanks for doing that for me, Paul. I appreciate it so much..
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Poetry Abuse, presented with mostly rhyming couplets give the readers an example of a "bad-poetry day" which employs poetic non sequiturs often.

Comment from Mimi Linny
Very cute entry for the "problem with writing poetry" contest. Combining rhyme & perfect rhythm can sometimes create havoc with your brain! LOL! I do have a little suggestion, though for your 4th rhyming line - maybe change that line to read:
"But doesn't happen all the time"
You'll maintain your 10 syllables - and "time" will be perfect rhyming end for the 3rd line.
Nicely done -and good luck in the contest!

Thank you for your sweet review and comments but I think you missed the joke on that line. Every line was to show the mistake. That was planned to show there was a perfect rhyme waiting for it, but I pretended I couldn't find it. Do you see what I mean? Just like in all the other lines, where my meter was horrible, misspelled words, etc...
-
Oh no! I should have listened to my inner thoughts... There was a quick point that i thought you might have done that on purpose, but then re-thought it out since the contest said it was supposed to rhyme... Again - a very cute entry for the contest!
-
That is quite ok, as I think that would have been an instinct for me too. Actually every time I look at it, I want to correct it. LOL
I thank you very much and I appreciate that you were trying to be so helpful.

Sally, you are really getting them from me today, but I try to never let a six star one go unnoticed for this long. Please accept my apologies. You are the greatest friend and I appreciated them so much along with the kind comments and great review. Thanks again for having fun with my poetry abuse.
