Moody
A rhyming poem written for fun37 total reviews
Comment from Willie P. Smith
A very good read. Good rhyme, and is very understandable. You describe many of us who get a moody streak once in a while. However, most of us don't want to admit it even if it's pointed out
by an observer. Very good. Willie

Thank you, Willie. I agree, most of us won't admit it if we are moody. I had fun with the idea. I am glad this resonated with you.
We moody ones need to stick together.
Thanks for the kind review.

Easy to follow, enjoyable to read not too long not too short. I think it has the best of both worlds. Nicely done. If it's for a contest good luck in the contest.

Just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, not too long and not too short, just right.
I am happy you enjoyed reading this poem.
The best of both worlds.
It is not for a contest.
Thanks for the positive feedback.

JJ,
Hey, dude, I get it. I enjoyed this piece, myself and could totally relate. I thought it kinda ended on a bit of a negative note - if I'm reading correctly -- and that left a bad taste in my mouth sorta, because I feel like I know better. The first two verses seemed more victorious and in-your-face. That was cool.
A couple of notes, if I may:
1.) Living,' unforgiven
--> first, if you're commenting on living unforgiven - you don't need the comma - it can be deleted
--> but then, if you aren't using elision, you don't need that apostrophe. If you ARE - which is what I think - perhaps you need to edit to: livin' - as in:
--> Livin' unforgiven
2.) Slipplin,' talking flippant
-->wondering if you meant slippin' - without the extra 'l'
Thanks, friend. I enjoyed this, too!

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
It is a fun post. I write a lot of serious love poems and sometimes I take a break and write something funny.
I can identify with the mental challenges.
Well done, take it easy.

Yes, we writers all need a break from the serious stuff every once in a while.
I wrote this for fun.
Mental challenges are difficult to navigate for the best of us, my friend.
Take care,
Jesse

poem flows and connects well. Hope you are having

Comment from gansach
I like the internal rhymes as well as the end of line rhymes, definitely adds to the rhythm. One question: second stanza, first line-is it intended to be slipplin' or should it be slippin'? Just curious as I've done some word inventing in my time which is fun, but most times is taken as a mistake. Very good effort! Best wishes!

Your spirit is rising to the challenge and you have found new life and passed it along to your writing as well. Stay strong, burn those bridges and place better ones in their place. Just be yourself... as you always are ... and when a shadow crosses your door, reach out to all of us.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-I'm glad to see you writing for fun, Jesse.
-You wrote a good poem about it
with effective imagery and rhyme.
-It does sound like you are
burning your bridges for fun, as well as
"turning diamonds to coal."
-I like your concluding lines about laughter,
and then "the strongest has won."
-It sounds like a new attitude to me,
and that's a good thing.
-Have a great day and week ahead.
