I am like you, I love the rhyme. I had the WORST time with the free verse, and blank verse. But I made a commitment to myself, that if I came back to FanStory, I'd learn these poems, and others. I'm always glad I did. I've been disqualified too before, ha ha. Love your poem, blessings...

I believe I have only penned a free verse twice and it was quite difficult. I enjoy entering different contests, its a challenge for me to at least try penning different types of poetry. Thanks sweetie for your review and support, love you a lot! Blessings....Portia

This a great entry for the monorhyme contest. I love these because they can be such a challenge to write, especially when you go to the longer poems. One stanza is tougher enough but when you get past that, my mind starts smoking. I love the story you tell with it. I have trouble with the haiku because I like to rhyme and I love the 5-7-5. Many times my haiku ends up a 5-7-5. Lol. Best wishes in the contest.

This is my first time penning a monorhyme poem, it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be because all of my poem are rhyming poems. Thanks so much for your review, very kind comments and best wishes. Blessings my friend.........Portia

This is a very good. It is a nice conversation with the readers. It breaks the fourth wall as they say. It is also a theme many of us can relate to.

Solid entry.

I like Writing Poems and it does rhyme and if you didn't write it then it would have been a crime. Well done. Best wishes. Kurisu.

A very well-written monorhyme poem. It all works well the lines flow effortless from the one to the other and the rhymes work unforced right through. Good luck with the contest.

Hi, monorhymes can be tough, but you did a good job of rhyming without forcing the lines. Most can relate to the reviewing, and earning and losing bucks.

Portia,

I enjoyed your poem for the contest. The art/image is perfect. I like the color scheme, too. I love rhyme. Your monorhyme makes sense as some written in this style are hard to follow.

At first I thought this was about you. I did not realize it was for a contest. I thought you were sad about how your writing was received.

Good job & best wishes in the contest. Jan

This is a fun kind of poem and great for contests and prompts. You've met the challenge well, in my view. It's not my favorite style of poetry but opening my mind to new and different styles has been part of my journey with fanstory.

I totally get this monorhyme! Writing poetry can be both a blessing and a curse! But we can't stop...very cute poem that expresses your sentiments simply and smoothly. Enjoyed it.
