I did enjoy this and as you labelled it as humour poetry you'll be glad to know it made me laugh. I loved the last two lines. I have spelt humour as we spell it here in the UK. in case you are wondering about my spelling. Kooky.

You are reading my thoughts on this one. I can relate to ea h stanza. I laughed when I started reading this. Your poem has a nice flow and keeps the reader engaged. I'm sure others can relate to this poem. Thanks for making me laugh.

This was good use of the words for the contest, too bad you missed the deadline. Great rhyming and certainly tells the story of how we feel a lot of the time about our writing.

Earl,

Of course not! hahaha And lose the chance to bring us all some smiles?? No way!

This was fun and it seems like you and I are on the same wave length - I just posted about writer's block today! Oh, well. We'll chug along and get past it. Good luck to both of us!

Thanks!

Hahaha! I am with you, Earl, it blows hot and cold and there seems to be no in between when we are seeking inspiration. Glad to read a verse by you. Well done.

I like the picture and the title. Yours definitely meets the requirements of the contest.

I like the story in your poem. I notice some people take a break and come back. I too took some time off when I had my surgery a few months ago.

I am glad you are back. Welcome back. Write more.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure your profile is hot :) You did a great job with your rhyming poem. Even with my limited mind, I understood it all. Good luck in the contest and enjoy your day. Shirley

I think every one of us goes through the Blank Page Syndrome! But I think you have found a secret to overcome it. You started!:) Good luck in your renewed endeavour. Cheers!

How about four stars to get started again, Earl. Good attempt at the prompt with some humor thrown in for good measure. I Hope the new job works out.

    Could you give me a pointer on what adjustments are needed to be a five star rating?
reply by Paul McFarland on 01-Dec-2021
    You did admit that your poem was squat. The thing that stands out for me is the meter. When rhyming, meter is important.

Well you got it in before the Rhyming poem deadline. We all know that horrid feeling of writer's block, with nothing to say. But you have at least managed to express what you felt you couldn't say and why - so something is still there! It's a good fun poem, enjoyable to read, and I love the image. Best wishes!
