Comment from Cathy M
This is such an engaging poem. You had me at this stanza:
It's certainly a fact,
I don't know how to act,
Athletic prowess I have zero,
I ain't no sports hero,
Very well delivered light hearted and fun. Very nice job. Good luck!

Well, that explains why you write. LOL I like the part about having a face for radio. Your poem sounds bouncy and fun. I love rhyme and rhythm, That always puts a smile on my face. Good luck with the contest!

Outstanding work, really gets the idea of why any writer writes. Also paints a picture of yourself. To conclude, please keep your head up, you certainly are bright!

I liked your poem about why we write. Interestingly everyone has a different reason why they write.. personally I often see only the images and not the words I am creating.

This is a wonderful poem for the contest. Your reasons for writing are carefully written and classificated; it tells there is a fertile mind beyond those lines. But my friend, you are writing good stuff.

Comment from Judy Lawless
Well, you've given lots of reasons to write, but it sounds like they amount to only one - you think you can't do anything else. But I doubt it's all true. In any event it sounded light-hearted and you are a great poet.

Comment from Allieas
This was thoroughly entertaining. Honestly it was so enjoyable to me that I actually couldn't even choose a favorite line to tell you I liked. It started off strong and kept going from there. Loved every moment of it. Thanks for sharing this and good luck with the contest!!

Comment from karenina
Is it every writer's curse to doubt their talent? I haven't come upon an author yet who feels fully confident. Our words are our children...we birth them, we coax them to toddle onto the page, we fear they will fall flat and rejoice when they don't...
There are many writers, famous and successful, who found their calling because (or is it in spite of?) they felt somehow inadequate to interface with the world in any other way. Emily Dickinson was a virtual recluse...
Dylan Thomas drank himself to death at age 39. Hemingway wrote brilliantly but killed himself...as did Sylvia Plath...as did so many others.
Your tone is lighthearted, but there is an undertone of sadness there.
You may be "anonymous" for this work (contest rules)--yet I see myself in between the lines... Self worth is a seed we must plant and water and nurture...
Everybody is beautiful in their own way.

Comment from Ben B.
Yen huh? So I take it the speaker is somewhere in Japan? If you're going to do that you should probably throw in more than one clue. Great poem overall.

Comment from Dawn Munro
For me it's a lark
when there is a spark
of witty, amusing parlay--
and your verse is good,
so I think you should
insist that your readers all pay.
(*grin*)
Best of luck in the contest. I thoroughly enjoyed this poem.
