Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Average Poet, contains the words and sense of art that keeps the poem and prose apart. The lesson here for all to take is no writing waits for the muse to wake.

Very clever, Bill. You wrote a little ditty for the review of my poem. That is clever and spot on! There is no shortness of creativity when it comes to you, Bill.
Waiting for the muse to thaw is similar to waiting for the muse to wake. It's just a different take on it.
Have a good day.

Hi Jesse,
I think this is true of any writer here. We see them grow in talent through time. Whether in poetry or prose. We all wish to right that poem or story that truly touches and inspires others.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day.

Good morning, Jesse!
What a delight to find on this rainy, gray morning!
How I appreciate the descriptions of your character and how you perceive yourself.
I, however, do not perceive you as an "average poet." I have followed you for years, and I "can see (your) progress on each poetic page.
Your writing is creative, honest, and a delight to read and savor!
Smiles all around!
Thank you for sharing!
Fondly,
diane

Good morning, Diane!
Thanks for the wonderful six stars and the superb review. Yes, you have watched me grow. I still have a good ways to go but in the meantime, I enjoy writing poetry.
I love to rhyme words. It's a passion of mine.
Sorry, it is rainy where you live. Here it is sunny and supposed to be warm later today.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
Smiles all around!
Take care, my friend!
Jesse

I'm just your average poet
honest and raw
warming frosty fingers
so my muse will thaw
And it says nice flow to it and I like how the poem progresses as you go.

This is clever and well thought out Jesse, I loved the sentiments and I wish you luck with your poetry writing. As a general rule, rhyming poetry has more melody with some kind of metre and that takes some patience to include, I enjoyed your fine words, love Dolly x x x

Written with humility and honesty- and you have done a great job. I can relate to your words re getting the muse working well. You expressed yourself really well. Well done.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
You've done it again to me, Jesse! I've nothing left to give you and this is way beyond average. It flows with excellent syntax and absolutely endearing comment. I love the imagery of your frosty fingers (on the keyboard) and your muse thawing. And also your reference to your one man show. This skilfully and subtly reflects the poet in the poetry on a subject that is relatable to us all. My only suggestion would be to introduce one syllable to the last line to maintain that lyrical quality:
how this ending (then) will rhyme.
Very well done! Debbie

Hello Debbie.
I love the way you describe your reactions to my poem. You use words like skillfully and subtly and I love it! It's funny, or odd, that other writers suggest adding or subtracting a syllable when it comes to my ending line. Which do I choose, I ask no one in the room. No one answers, neither.
So I stick to the first plan and there you have it.
Thanks for all your help, my friend.
Jesse

I still prefer: how this ending will (then) rhyme. It allows for a strong beat on the final word which is always good. But it's entirely your decision and what you feel happier with:)

Wow, magnificent! ATB in such a short time!!
Comment from Lisasview
Hi Jesse,
I think this is actually an excellent poem with great rhymes...
I have one small suggested...
As I read throughit it flowed very well until the very last line where it stopped the flow (just my opinion)
I think that something like...
"in syncopated time
then laugh as you predicted
how this ending will rhyme" perhaps.... this has too many words..
so something like...how to end with a rhyme....or ???
Probably non of my business..
