Well, C.P., it takes one to know one. Not everyone is attuned to humor writers. And not everyone is grateful for honesty. I'm always happy when you take the time to post - I know your life is hectic. Hugs, Lou

Hey my girl
How are you? Thank you so much for the review mate.
I'm time poor this last week or so...I have to go back to work.
I've reopened my sign business and tacked that onto the frame site so been doing a heap of work to get that organised.
I saw two posts of yours slip through but I'll review them I promise.
Thanks for stopping by

I read your poems as well as interview and left a little comment. Much congratulations for such a hard working, talented gal. I'm really not up for submitting anymore. Content to just hang around FS, but thank you for thinking of me. Hugs, Lou
Comment from Warren Rodgers
C-P-J!
Your metered bars are perfect stars
your style is contagious
Your mastery is first degree
your humor is outrageous
You're not some geek who speaks in Greek
or coats it with confection
your rhymes are right, your meter's tight
you writes are clear perfection
So here's a six I will affix -
your well-earned acquisition
and it will glow until the flow
returns a new rendition
Cheers!
Great to see you posting
:)Rodger

Well if thats not a stunning tribute I don't know what is. LOL
Thanks Wazza, much appreciate your sixer and you dropping by.
Your words I shall treasure and I'm glad you can put up with me like I am. I just couldn't be any other way.
Hope you are well...it's nice to be posting but family, business tend to take over and I've been off colour for a few weeks.
Hugs CPJ

Comment from N.K. Wagner
I suspect this is going to be the forward to one of your books, Phillippa. It reveals your personality and attitude toward poetry beautifully. Inhouse staff - your adoring family, no doubt. Well done. :) nancy

Wow Nancy, thanks so much and apologies for the tardy response.
A sixer is always nice but when its for a horn toot about yourself, even better. LMAO
Loved your review and in spite of the inhouse staff not actually referring to the family in any way, you have managed to put a spin on that bit that I was unaware of. They DO inspire what I write so in a sense they ARE my inhouse staff. Haha
You rock...hugs P

Comment from ravenblack
Behind every great king there is often a jester more wise. And ya' know, I just noticed the pic of the jester has the same wry look in the eye as you. So how much are you paying your staff? Rhythm and rhyme ain't no crime if your a cat burglar. Did that make any sense?

Comment from Tonulak
one of the best metered writes I've seen in a while. The style was breezy and humorous. C'mon...you're not that mean, are you? I'll be on my best behavior:) Great job--Ted

Of course I'm not Ted. Thanks very much and I DO hope my honesty doesn't rattle you. I prefer the term "blunt" as opposed to "abrasive" haha...anyway, I let you decided for yourself.
Some just simply don't know how to take me but I can be no one other than myself. MUCH appreciate the sixer. I know you're a musician so you know if the beat's off
Cheers P

PS Forget the good behaviour. Just be yourself! haha (kidding)
-
I can be pretty blunt myself. Funny, in russian "blunt" ("tupoy" doesnt mean honest or forthright, but "stupid", Let's stick to abrasive, shall we?
-
Oh crap, I'm abrasive, as it were then.
teehee

PS I kinda like abrasive anyway...I tend to be a teency bit rough around the edges. Haha
-
For all my worldly refinement, I'm still a tough kid from the streets of Jersey City:) Rough...Smooth...any way they like it!
-
Indeed the Rough/Smoothie is preferably to the Smooth/Roughie...haha
Being both ends of the spectrum gives you range. I can vouch for that although I err slightly on the abrasive side...LMAO
-
There's still hope for you; the stone becomes smooth when buffeted by Time:)
-
Ah yes, there's always hope.
LOL

Here's an excellent and forthright declaration of what you are as a poet, ma'am! I really like this as well as the attitude implied. Looking forward to reading more from you! R

this is very well written, closetpoetjester, you did an excellent job writing this poem about the rhyme that shows who you are. take you or leave you, I see no flaws. my muse has been getting a little naughty lately.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Very good poem! You used the same rhyme pattern I tried out in "My Dog Bo", where I asked in the notes if there was a name for it or if anyone had seen it before. Now here it is in your poem, so maybe YOU know if it has a name or a source? I like it, needless to say, and you did a great job with rhyme and rhythm.
One problem though...
Stanzas 2, 5, 6, 7: remove commas in first lines.
Stanza 1, 3: remove commas in third lines.
Here is an important rule:
Common Comma Errors
--
1. Never separate a subject from its predicate with a single comma. Sometimes a pair of commas may be used to surround a modifying word or phrase, but never ever just one comma.
Examples
Wrong: The biggest problem for new writers, is that grammar is no longer taught in schools.

Right: The biggest problem for new writers, aside from lack of ideas, is that grammar is no longer taught in schools.
NOTE that this is true for both sentences and independent clauses of compound sentences (those with AND or BUT connecting two "sentences" into one sentence).

What a super review, thanks so much. I appreciate the punctuation lesson too.
I have a prob knowing always when to and not to use.
I saw a clever example awhile back about commas being misplaced and completely changing the meaning of something.
e.g.
Woman, without her, man is nothing.
Woman, without her man, is nothing.
I thought I'd learned something there but obviously not. LOL
I very much appreciate the help and will go back and make those changes.
Cheers P

Comment from Dean Kuch
Good help, and good poetry too, sometimes. This one is great, though. No banal pandering from THIS reviewer, I assure you. I really thought this was quite funny; in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way.
It certainly does have great rhythm and flow, and, the best part for me was...wait for it...IT ACTUALLY RHYMES!
I'll never try to flatter you,
when telling you what I'm thinkin'.
If your poetry smells like poo?--
I'll sure let you know it's stinkin! ;)
Great stuff, closetpoetjester.
