Comment from Ronni
Well, the true poetic form you assess as disappearing
or being violated by other invading and dissenting
forms; does seem to be far to pervasive. Still, true
poetry has survived through the ages; and its life and
form will outlast the newer and experimental forms; which
have no legend or legacy behind them like true poetry does.
Bravo for you for championing the cause and care for
true poetry in its most incomparable form and destiny.

Thank you, Roni, for the outstanding review. Here I was getting a bit satirical, as you guessed (lol); and exercised my freedom of a creating writing (big smile). This poem makes me smile myself!
Comment from BJean
I can see your perspective having been brought up mastering the timeless poetry and so aptly. Unlike the elephant's behind:) Very nice and well done as expected. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas. Love, Jean

Thank you so much for the great review; it's greately appreciated. It was a bit satirical, wasn't it? (lol). But what I see lately got my Irish up! Though I am not Irish (smiles) I belonged to the classic Russian school of rhymed poetry, and value my Eastern European roots. Glad you got a kick of that one. Love and hugs, Yelena
Comment from adewpearl
Oh, Yelena, I so hope you're wrong in your prediction though you are certainly spot on in your observations. I know that in the publishing world one is far more apt to be seen as modern, relevant and publishable if you don't rhyme - there are even journals that specify, no rhyming poetry the way dating ads will specify no fatties. It is a crying shame and you take a good satiric look at this horrid trend :-) Brooke

Thank you so much, Brooke, for the great review. This was a bit rebellious, but this needed to be said. Love and hugs, Yelena
Comment from Judian James
Good one Yelena. Although you know I do write free verse as well, but mostly with a poetic twist throughout with rhymes when least expected. I loved this piece of satire!
I especially loved verse two. It brought a good laugh!!

lol. Everyone is bringing in verse two as their favorite. "Some poems shaped like elephant behind" indeed (LMAO). I had to take a stab at it, or maybe my rhyming double did. I am glad it fetched a good laugh, and thank you so much for the good review! Love, Y.
Comment from tony bronk
This sounds to me like you are asking and hoping for the pure poetic form to stick around and not be replaced by the new forms of the "non-poetic" forms of poetry. Sort of like Rock n Roll being replaced by too many electronic sounds. If I am way to off the mark, please let me know. Are you a "Purist"? Tony

Hi! I thought that I was correct. I already celebrated Christmas with my children last night because of scheduling, so on Christmas day, my wife, me and my best friend are building a fire inside of a contraption that holds logs and sends out a lot of heat. We are then going to drink wine, hot chocolate, eat chili, and listen to music. We will do this in the evening. We are all looking forward to this. it is so much fun in the winter. We might even roast some marshmellows. You have a Merry Christmas too! Tony

Tony,
Your Christmas plans sound great! I am a little envious about all this "wine, hot chocolate, chili and music" (smile). Enjoy! Love and hugs, Yelena
Comment from Susanne M. Psyris
Yelena ~ I give this a six for its unique and creative appeal. Really great verses. Love the second one best! But, all were really well-thought out and presented.
Some "poems" shaped like elephant's behind (this line is just too funny!).
It's a sin that there wasn't a prompt in place about poetry...this would have been a sure winner!!!! Love, Susanne

ROTFL Wow is this gorgeous! This line just knocks me over -

When you get going, Yelena, you really gallop! I'll have to stop reviewing you - you're running me out of sixes!
Huge grin,

Wow... This is a treet indeed. I cannot believe I got a six from the Maestro for a poem written at 2.a.m. when I just finished watching a 16 part Russian take on Wolf Messing. Gil, I am very honored. This poem was so "zigzag" and rebellios, I didn't believe anyone would call it "gorgeous". Thank you again, my friend, I will have to write more in this style; which is a bit avant-garde for my pen.

a "treat" indeed, I was trying to say, of course.
Comment from Joan E.
I was captivated by your choice of Calder-like artwork. You appeared to have great fun writing this tongue-in-cheek poem. I roared at the elephant's posterior and the "abradab" and actually agreed with you about the appealing "sound" of the word "poetry". I really liked your rhymes to prove your point and the way you concluded the poem with your final couplet.

Thank you so much, Joan. The artwork seemed perfect. I was looking for a while, leafing through FanArt's impressive portfolio, until I saw that one. I appreciate your great review; and yes, I did have fun with that poem! Love and hugs, Y.

i liked the poem and the picture that you chose to put with it, i never knew until i joined this website how many different kinds of poetry there was--just mind boggling--people criticize because i write more of the lyrical poems instead of free verse or other styles
