Is it wrong of me to have caught a faint hint of Dr. Suess here? I mean, the rhyming is similar while the topic is grounded in far more reality than anything Suess has ever written. At least to my limited knowledge.

Lots -- and I do mean LOTS!!! of 'ess words in this "hot mess" of yours, Mystery Poet. I think what you're trying to say is no matter how messed up someone might be, they cam also still be a whole lot of fun.

Best of luck to you in the contest.

    You said it, my daughter said it & another reviewer said it - so no - it's not wrong of you AT ALL!! In fact, I didn't even realize it until my daughter mentioned it. I guess my inner Dr. Seuss guess snuck up on me!!! :)

    Thanks for the review and you nailed it!!! :)

Your poem is very funny and at first I thought it didn't describe a mess, but then again, your witty way of saying you yourself are the mess, won me over.

A fun 'messy' poem with some of your stanzas real tongue twisters. LOL. Mostly written in good rhyming couplets except for one or 2 near rhymes - 'rest/mess - 'happen/hands. I particularly like your penultimate stanza, where you confess to being a mess LOL. Good read and Good Luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

It depends of whether it is a physical, emotional or psychological mess you are talking about. Some messes are easy to clear while others you may need help to clean up.
Everyone is there own kind of mess.

Good poem. I like the near mononrhyme.

The picture seems almost satiric while the beginning of the poem seems serious the end matches the feeling of hte artwork.

Keep writing

You've taken on all messes in this ambitious write
You've displayed a good sense of mess, covering the gamut of possibilties, and offering observations on what causes stress, the origin of messes, and even the cost of messes
You could not have complied with the theme for the prompt any better
An enjoyable poem written in nicely paced verses
I wish you good luck with the contest count and with any mess you encounter in future. lol

There's always a place for messiness! You bet! Us Right-Brainers, often more liberal and easy-going, need to stick together! We might not do well at organizing or leading, LOL! But we ARE needed...!

Thanks for sharing and for affirming those who are FREE and do not try to dictate to others!

The rhyming throws me off a bit since some quatrains are such strong mono-rhyming and then others have a line that doesn't rhyme at all, such as stanza two with "more" not rhyming with anything else.
good alliteration in come at a cost and push you past
a fun look at messes, but the rhyming issue is a sticking point for me. Brooke

    I see where you're coming from - just can't bring myself to mess with it much more. Not right now anyhow. :)
