Excellent

I enjoyed reading your comical, throw mud against the wall poem for this poetry contest.

I'm amazed that you were able to get the same # of syllables in each line while maintaining a rhyme (something I would have great difficulty doing).

Nicely done after you accepted the challenge...
Cheers
John

Hi John, thanks for the awesome review and the kind comments. It was a fun poem to do, but actually harder to purposely make mistakes. Lol, thanks again, dear friend.

Hahaha! This is hilarious, both the poem and the artwork. It is also very creative, and written by an astute poet. Since I'm not a poet, this sounds like a description of something I might try to rhyme. I wish you the best in the contest.

This is hilarious, and you've been wise to include your notes about intentional mistakes, as you were bound to hear from some cranky reviewers out here, lol. Great work, and I wish you luck in the contest!

Hilarious. Especially since someone sought to correct your errors. Although not a great poet, I had no trouble spotting mistakes. This has to have been written by one of FanStory's best. Good luck in the contest.

This is an amusing little poem about the problems that may arise when trying to write poetry. I love the bit where you have included poor spelling but rhyme does not rhyme with often. I know why you have done it though so I think that the committee will let you off. Good luck in the contest

Thanks Eleri, I loved the contest and the minute I saw that you had started it, I knew what I wanted to do with it. Yet, I knew the rules too said that about rhyme, so yes, I am hoping that they see that it was just the one line and why I did it. So thank you for being so gracious about it and for your kind words too. Maybe I will look for a way to fix that up and still be fun before the contest. Thanks again, for your comments.

Oh, I think this may be the winner. I was going to have a go but not sure now. Well done for being so clever. I especially like the misspelt lines. I was wondering about messing up the rhyme but then thought I might get disqualified! It's a risk! But this is great. Well done. I look forward to finding out who you are.

Well. It's in the lead you clever person. My thoughtful poem is nowhere! Lol. X

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell

Lol, this couplet poem goes so well with the contest theme. I thought the spellings added to the dilemma perfectly. Your muse has either gone on vacation, or, it's having a laugh at your expence. Very well done, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Oh Sandra, I am really sorry this is so late, but got behind because of all the birthday poems. So, just trying to catch up on some old ones that were long overdue. I appreciate all the kind comments and for having fun with me on my poetry abuse. Thanks again, my very dear friend.
