I am in total agreement with the sonnets, Bill. My meter is always wrong too. Congrats on the contest win, it was a fun poetry read for someone who can do nothin' with 'em.
Cheers

Heh! I love this poem too. I like poems that rhyme. I also like poems that make me giggle, and this one does both! I also try to write free verse, and accidentally end up making it rhyme..... I just can't help myself!

I was told once that if the rhyme comes naturally then leave it, but if another word fits as well and means something use it. Now that I have written that, it doesn*t seem that helpful.

Nice put together despite the fact that you cannot do anything with "em".
Clever concept and a worthy winner. Congratulations and I hope you keep trying the poetry. Seems you are really a natural.
Take care and have a wonderful day.

Hi Bill,
This is a cute poem which shows how hard and confusing poetry can be. Also, how many different kinds there are. It shows how humbling writing can be.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day.
Joan

Ha! Congratulations on your win in the contest and for taking a humorous dig at the (sometimes faintly ridiculous) limitations that certain poetic forms place upon us. Nice work - well done!
