This poem fits the contest well for it makes no sense. Of course, the pun and homonym for cents. Each stanza is filled with opposites.
Good luck in the c.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a good evening.

You've done an excellent job creating a nonsense poem of opposites. Your first two lines let me know I was about to have fun reading. Your poem did not disappoint. You chose the perfect cartoon artwork to intensify the meaning of your poem. Well done.

Cute poem gave me a chuckle. I could sense the nonsense. Lol

I enjoyed the trimeter reading each quatrain

One suggestion, some of the rhythms were slightly off, there were a few hiccups so you should go back over the poem a few more times

Keep up the good work and good luck in the contest

This poem, Some Cents, had me going for a bit with its paradoxical happenings involving getting a bite to eat. I see now that that was the intent all along. Funny.

Might be good for a nonsense poem but this line makes no sense whatsoever,

"I eat there every day

At the most, once a week..."

Best of luck in the competition

This is a great Nonsense poem you have penned for the writing prompt contest. You used very good descriptive words that was funny and full of nonsense! Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Give me a funny nonsense poem and I'm one happy camper! Your last line was the cherry on top of this sundae...

Geez. Sometimes I wish I set aside six stars for, you know, days that come after Tuesday.

(I have a self-control issue)

I want to share that this poem is kid tested. I have my grandson over (he's 9 going on 20) and he laughed his little face off!

How fortunate to be rich, one never has to worry about paying a bill nor do they care when others are in need, and one has those generous bucks to bless them with. This is beautifully written Jessica, I love eating out,(when we can afford it) excellent rhyming and posting, blessings, Roy

How fun is this! I don't make no cents either on most days. Perfect for this contest and my best wishes for the day, and my very best to you in the vote, Jess.
