This work has reached the exceptional level

JP ilcher, I realize that you
wrote and submitted this some time back, but I was re-reading some of my reviews just now, to see if I could get some helpful hints
for my poetry writing, and I came across your review of my poem "Somebody" from the same era,
and since I
never had replied to your excellent comments back then, I thought that it was time to let you know that I really do appreciate the 6stars6stars6stars
then to read one of yours, and to find
a 6star lurking there underwater with all the fishes amazing. thanks. for all. for everything.

While I enjoyed the "alternative" formatting, I must admit I found this poem confusing to read, thus the message was somewhat lost on me. I do admit that this may be because I'm not accustomed to this type of poetry.

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
The highest and the lowest rating are not included in calculations.

    I know but a 4.. Still stings. Curious if you're viewing it as it was intended to be viewed.

    Oh well.. It happens. Can't please everyone nor did I expect everyone to "get it" per se.

    Thanks for reviewing though!!!

Looks like the IRS manual...or Medicare guidelines.

Now, I viewed this on classicfanstory and it was useless - alternatively, this isn't much better, but there does seem to be a pattern. The outline of a fish with those three air bubbles is cute and creative - thus my 5 rating. Good luck. AT=/

Nice one! Very creative idea. You should challenge yourself to do a bunch of animals for a children's book. That'd be fun to read.

Interesting one
Its nice to see that the words you choose
become the poem itself in the form of a illustration!

It was a little bit derailing to read as it is in the shape of a fish
and i'm not intellectually sure on how one
should go about reading it.

I did however enjoy the uniqueness of this entry.

Very cute presentation using the words to form a fish. This could be some new type of poetry format. I like it, and you put a smile on my morning grumpy face.

Hiya :)
I won't even ask how long it took you to get the formatting just so, to create the perfect fish! And with air bubbles too!
Cute little poem, brilliantly creative presentation.
Good luck in the voting booth :)
Kind regards, Debra

You are so clever. There are 'golf widows', I'm guessing you're a widow of a fisherman. You've got my vote for the contest.

Hi Mystery Poet

Clever and creative. LOL A poem for fun which also complies with the contest rules. Love the innuendo in your title. Definitely a contender for high placement. I would have thought this contest would have filled in an instant. Well done. The best of luck. Lovinia xoxo
