And to this poem, I say "Amen"! There's some GREAT artwork on FanArt, but sometimes--like you--I go through eight to ten pages and come up
empty. By then I'm cross-eyed. This is well-written and amusing--but true.

It certainly is exasperating , isn't it!! Your poem expresses this dilemma very well... we wish to support the artists but almost have to choose a picture earlier just so as to be ready in time.

This monorhyme, Using FanArt, presented in two quatrains and a couplet, captures the frustration of the borrowing poet who finds minimal logic to the art which follows the requested topic.

Amazing fit to the contest rules and a very flowing poem. Although I don't have the problem you are presenting throughout. I find it so complimentary and convenient.

Really funny, as I've thought the same thing so many times. Either I can't find the art/photo/drawing I want, or the search engine gives me stuff that often doesn't match my entry.

You have hit this issue squarely on its head! Hopefully, the FanStory administrators will read the same and adjust the search engine parameters accordingly.

Suggested word substitute for your poetic 'cos. I would use 'cause.

IMHO you will earn many sympathetic reviews and votes for your contest posting (-:

This is a funny poem about the true frustration of using fanart. Sometimes it brings up nothing or things that don't match the parameters you set. That is one reason why I don't illustrate most of my poems that aren't supplied with a picture by the pix this club.
This poem is supposes to have all the lines end with the same rhyme you have 2 different rhymes

Keep writing

    Thanks for the review. I have totally re-written it now I realise that each line should rhyme. Jen

I enjoyed the humour of this poem. I've experienced much the same sort of frustration. I guess we all have. I notice that you have written this in rhymed couplets. Unfortunately, a Monorhyme is a poem in which all the lines have the same end rhyme, so you have quite a bit of revision needed to avoid disqualification in the contest.

    I am very greatful to you for pointing out what a Monorhyme is, I obviously read it wrongly. I have totally re-written the poem. Thanks a lot. Jen.
