I know this poem is supposed to give us some understnding, but what that is is not clear to me, I think you have missed the exact syllable count in your Rictameter, fourth line has 7 syllable.....I give you 4 stars for the effort at wrtitng this form, but I have no idea what you are saing..
Regards
Victoria

I don't get why your words have no meaning, no rhyme, no honey
ao I guess I'll just read them with no gleaning and say "thanks for the money!"

I've been generous to award you three stars, why? you may ask.
If I wrote something which started with a 'background' that was about 50% unintelligible I would be slated by the reviewers. I don't see why you should be any different.

You have been told this before but you carry on... WHY?

The stars are for the 'background' I couldn't read any further...

PS you could save yourself a lot of dollars by buying a dictionary.

This thought-provoking poem, I think, speaks of the type of person who starts out greedy, blows his money trying to make more, finally succeeds in acquiring wealth, then loses it again. ??

Hmm... Well... This seems to be one I just don't get. I will allow that maybe the fault is with me and not penalize you in rating. Good luck.

This poem is greedy! It probably means something in the mind of the poet. In the mind of a reader, not so much. It leaves no deep mark, in fact no mark at all. It gave away its resources on L4:

Think, boast, chat, pride poor like fools = 7 syllables, need 8

Salue, et bon chance!

Seems as though you have chosen words (any word ) to type and hope they make sense together (they don't ) sorry. Wish I could be kinder and don't intend to be rude. I guess if you want to keep us reading and rating you, we will do so as long as you keep handing out $1.25 or more, people will keep reviewing.

Hello there,

I'm afraid that I can't comment on the form of the poem, as I have no experience of the rictometer.

I think that I get a sense of ambiguity to what you are trying to say, but for me, it needs a little more substance, a little more of your thought process on show.
Perhaps, I'm not getting it ay all,

Best wishes,

Laurie

You capture the great sorrow of today's living. It is rare to find those that are not the center of their universe. That's how I interpret your lines.
