    Oh thank you so much for getting all the contradictions in my poem. They are fun to write. If I ever start a contest, would you be interested in doing that?
    I know many people commented on the poem I did with the identical quintuplets falling up a tree in the desert, that it would make a fun contest.
    So thank you for your lovely review and comments my friend!.

Most of all, you are home now, I hear?

Congrats on your success with this poem!

    It's been an interesting time in my life of late! I'm on and off... Sorry, but I'm balancing as best I can right now!

    No worries, though. I always come out none the worse for wear~

    I simply can't keep going back to catch up on 70 or 80 reviews...

    I pick up with the most current and hope friends understand.

    Hugs!

There just has to be more friends that like to open up, as I feel bad that you never want to talk about my loving friend Karenina, I will not push you, but will tell you that what ever is going on, I am praying for you and I am always here to talk.

Hello Debi! You took the nonsense poem challenge and managed to make a story out of a difficult prompt - well done! The last stanza was my favourite; it reads very witty and clever. Kudos to you!

This is very imaginative and humorous. You have two cops, a mugger, and a blind man who saw everything one sunny day at night. I enjoyed this nonsense poem and it put a smile on my face. I wish you the best in the contest.

A fun poem about a very serious event and people will always tell lies to get out of a situation as it is human nature and this is why we rely on physical evidence. But this is light hearted fun for the contest, love Dolly x

This is indeed a funny poem :) As for silly criminals, there is a new and funny piece of news from my own country. A local man tried to steal an old car, which had been standing on a parking lot for a few weeks. When he was dismantling it, it turned out that he was missing a wrench. What did the criminal do? Well, he started asking passers-by for help. Including policemen in their patrol car :)

    Hahahaha! That is hilarious! We have a radio station that tells of things like that on a segment they call: crazy stupid idiots! They all sound just like the guy you are talking about. Oh thanks Joanna for the good laugh today, and for the very kind review and the beautiful six shiny stars. You are a sweetheart as I was just thinking that it has been a while since we have chatted. So thanks for a Perfect afternoon mood changer. I doubt anyone could bring me down!

This may be a 'no sense' poem with a delightful litany of contradictory phrases, but it also feels like a commentary on the modern world. When everybody online has a say and nobody cares whether an opinion has any knowledge behind it, current affairs look a lot like your poem :-)

    Hahaha! If that's the case it must be titled correctly? I think even Forest Gump would agree with you..... Thanks for the delightful review and comments and for giving me the last laugh!

Perfect title for a perfect load of nonsense!!! LOL!! Well done, Debi, I wonder how long it took you to create this fun poem. It's nice to have something like this to read once in a while, there is too much doom and gloom going on in peoples everyday lives these days. Well done, my friend, and good luck in the contest. :)) Love and hugs, Sandra.

Are you out of hospital yet? xxxx

    Awe Sandra, thanks so much for the very kind review and comments. So appreciated my friend!
    And good news, I slept in my own bed last night. I got home yesterday, with therapy waiting in the driveway to make sure I made the transition properly and safely. Thanks for the prayers and for being a caring friend!

Most first-person poems about frightening incidents serious or even frightening. This one is oddly light and humorous. Plus it has extraneous elements that are hard to knit into the story the poem tells. Yeah, they fit the rhyme scheme, but...
This is a ghost story, or a ghost poem. Its tone is uneven but I think that's what the author intended, especially based upon the last two lines. I think the details in this poem could have been developed into a good, scary short story, but as a weird, whimsical string of statements and contradictory information, it only raised my eyebrows a bit and failed to hook me.

    Y'know Frank, I have to agree with you this time. I wrote it overnight from my hospital bed in only 2 hours and didn't have the time to do what I usually do. Write, let it simmer for a while, stir it and let it simmer a little longer. Then hopefully the last stir, it is ready to serve. It didn't feel right, but I just made the deadline. So now that you know my recipe for good poetry, I hope to be serving you some good stuff again soon. However it did place in the contest. Thanks my dear friend!
