I enjoyed your poem. I think poetry is anything we say it is. I may not be the best poet either, but life is too short to worry about what other people think. This is a good entry. Just write for yourself and enjoy it. Marilyn

This poem is well written. The author gives a image of a favorite poetry forum. Free verse is an excellent form. I love the description "It's free verse that makes me sing." Thank you for sharing your work. Good Luck in the contest.

Comment from Nikki-Nicole
You've written a great poem.
The words come together and create a nice rhyme.
After reading, I find that 'Rhyme & Reason' meets the requirements of the contest and makes a good entry.
The artwork supports the poem. The image shown is just right for the topic discussed. The background goes well with the art and color of font chosen.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your Unfair Accusation.
Good luck with your future writing.

I think a lot of people will relate to this and it's not an easy thing to grasp, but I think everyone is trying to help improve your poetry. You are not a terrible poet and I think this poem is delightful! Love Dolly x

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. I can relate to your feelings. When I start writing here two years ago, I also have not much knowledge about all the poetic devices, meters and rhymes and I am still learning.

Thanks for your review, Sandra. It's all a learning curve, I guess.

I really enjoyed your poem "Rhyme and Reason". It did rhyme well and you do have the knack. In fact it flowed beautifully, so I think that is the new you.
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Kate Tompkins
Not sure if this is tongue in cheek or serious, but either way, I like it. I really like the way this line:
That iambic pentameter thing
makes me trip when I try to read it, making your point for you. And no, I'm not sure what it is either, but it doesn't stop me from writing verse.

I guess it is tongue in cheek to a certain extent. ;)
Thanks for reading.
Comment from humpwhistle
I enjoy your humor.
I tend to stick with prose myself.
Poetry is defined by forms. Conform or fail.
Poetry is really a variety of puzzles.
to master the puzzle is to master the form. That's an achievement.
Free verse is often mistakenly translated as 'without form'.
To me, poetry without form is . . . prose.
Write what you want to write. Call it whatever you want.
Peace, Lee

Please don't self label as "a terrible poet", if people suggest changes it should be to help. If they are just critical, write them off. We all have different styles, subjects, strengths etc. Experiment - maybe your talent is pros writing, maybe free verse etc.
I loved this poem - it fits the challenge well.

Thanks for your kind comments, Trisha. I feel more like a prose writer and I think I'm better at it as I had never written poetry till I joined Fanstory a year ago.
-
Don't give up. I joined last September and I still am primarily a rhymer. That's what I stick to. Talent will shine through where you feel most comfortable. Try free verse poetry, you don't have have any restrictions ......and continue your prose. Keep believing in yourself,
Hugs Trisha
