Haha, I haven't been scolded on passive verbs yet. I'm a firm believer in too many adverbs though. I enjoyed your poem! Thought it was perfect for this contest!
Good Luck!

Very well written. A lot of fun to read. So often is all of what you said the bane of the writer. But it is often a necessity. If every author wrote in a just-so style, oh how boring the world of fiction would become. :)
I am also a part of a Saturday writing group.

Thank you. Yeah, there is a point at which one starts going, "Waitaminnit!" But, for the most part, they are usually correct. I do use adverbs overly much. How did you find *your* Saturday group?

On the library's website. My sister sent me to the site to look up a different event and I saw it on their calendar.

This is an interesting poem that you have created here. I have entered a poetry contest myself with no luck and I wish you all the best of luck with this one.

Well I do believe you were listening but it just went in one ear and out the other. But I have had that happen to mw as well. Keep up the good work and keep on writing.

Comment from HL Pepper
Oh my goodness, this is so cute!
And you and I are back to the adverb thing, aren't we??!!!
I struggle to think your any of your words are "oh, so bad" because from what I have read they all work together and become "oh, so good"
Nice job! I'm sure your writing group is proud that you listened!! lol

Comment from TOMORAL
I have so much trouble with "was" and "were" When to use it, when to not? Hate that passive thing. But I just keep writing. This is great poetry and with a sound message.

Comment from Marillion
What type of advice was this, Aiona?
Anyway, I like the pithy nature of this, delivered with a wink and a smile. My only thought would be to change the last line of the second stanza to "I've got to stop with all of those" for metrical sake.

I'm listening to Duran-Duran right now. Song sings, 'shout shout! let it all out! these are the things we can do without, come on, I'm talking to you.' What timing. I been keelhauled, and a grapevine shot run across me bow for using ing too much and repeating words too often. And for using phrases over used, like sounds like thunder and what not? Hark, i hear the SPAG police at me front door? I'm innocent of all charges, me quill did it! a fletching from a game gobbler I took. Does anyone have a sense of humor? Don't take me slang and whip me sense less with Cat O'nine tails. However, this is not bilge-sucking like mine. Later Lassie' I got to flee into darkness with quill in me teeth.
