Wow! Thank you for this great surprise!
Comment from karenina
For the record, I would just like to say that I wrote ONE "sestina" years ago and I WISH it was as short as a haiku! (Ouch, my quill-holding hand still cramps thinking about that thing)--
There is nothing more pleasant than an unassuming, good-natured, person having a bit of fun about their own skill.
Your skill is great, Bill. Your humourous take on poems, meter, rhymes, etcetera made me laugh out loud!

I laughed out loud at his one!
Comment from Mary Vigasin
This is wonderful. This is excellent in humor and rhyme. In spite of your denial, you can certainly write a poem. You deserve a six for your sonnet but also so does the dog.
This should do well in the contest.
Best wishes,
Mary

Point made and illustrated.
No wonder you are frustrated.
Your pain may feel like you are constipated.
It's better than feeling like you've been castrated.
A feeling you'd do well to avoid.
Like once again being deployed.

Castration seems like it would be a one-time thing.

Yes, but we are only talking about a feeling, not the actual act.
Comment from Spitfire
Very clever. This is the way I feel when I try to write a poem. Great humor in haiku's too long and 'free verse rhyme well. Best of luck in the contest, Bill.

Comment from judiverse
This is great. Best of luck. It should do well in the contest, it's so funny. Your rhyme is excellent, by the way. You go through the difficulties of writing various forms of poetry in a humorous way. That's no reason to give up. I see poems with the problems you mention winning contests every day! judi

Thank you, Judi. The voters are usually not sure of what they are rating.

You're welcome. They vote for anything that sounds pretty, even if it doesn't make sense. judi
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
I liked this tongue-in-cheek approach to poetry, sometimes we all take ourselves too seriously. I think rhyme is allowed in free verse, just not too much of it. (don't want people thinking you've failed in your rhyme). kay

Comment from jim vecchio
I'm probably the bane of Shelley Kaye as each week I attempt a poem for the "Potlatch Club" and almost certainly am off in meter or fil somehow. So you are not the only one!

Actually, I KNOW you are a great poet!
Comment from lyenochka
No, you can't deny it. You're doing great as a poet - you just did one recently that I really liked. But since you're doing the opposite in your poem with "short sestinas" and "long haiku", you're obviously saying the opposite about yourself about a poet!
Enjoyed the fun!

All for fun. I have found I am rated better if it looks like I'm pathetic but trying. : )
