You covered a common problem that all of us have when writing. And sometimes we are hurried or we don't actually see our mistakes, so it helps to have our friends here help us.
Congratulations on the win!!

You are not alone. We all make mistakes, so be thankful you can at least write a thought down on paper. Choosing to be a writer is a lonely job sometimes, but you proved your worth with this poem.
Good for you.
Best of luck,
Marie

You did a good job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. You expressed your thoughts and feelings about writing and how you realize you have 'flaws' that need to be fixed. Of course, you are willing to learn which is a plus. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I really enjoyed this poem which is so very relevant to a poetry contest. I too have a problem with typos. You are not alone. I think you have selected a great topic. Best of luck. By the way I didn't see any typos. ð???

A great sentiment and I like your poem. We're all learning and it's good to be able to hear advice and improve ourselves. So here are a couple thoughts on this poem. The line "my flaw is misspelling words wrong" should be changed. If you've misspelled a word, you don't need the word wrong in there because that's what it means. So either delete wrong or change the line to "my flaw is spelling words wrong."
"Maybe this poem may be flawed" doesn't need the repetition of maybe and may be. You can either write Maybe this poem is flawed or you can write This poem may be flawed.
Good luck with the contest! I look forward to seeing more by you.

Ciao poet,
I have never been great at grammar either ..
though it is necessary , I do believe content is more important hence I do not penalise an entry because a comma or a verb's tense is incorrect.
English grammar is tricky .. damn it ( biggrin)
I enjoyed reading your entry and the honesty with which it was written.
I wish you well in your future writing endeavours.

What a great poem for this contest. It is well written and expresses what we all feel. None of us are perfect, and sometimes you can read your work over several times and still miss grammar and typos. But I like the fact that we work together on here to help one another.

I enjoyed the honest in your poem. Didn't see any spelling mistakes! So there you go. And I thought this flowed well. My only suggestion is to make the stanzas more uniform. Each one should look the same visually (counting syllables is a good trick). Well done!
