Nicely done/ I like the rhyme and rhythm here. The different aspects of poetry are well described and the metaphoric examples are well chosen. Great job!

Hi Michael! Too bad there are only two of you in the booth. Writing makes me happy as well, so I could really relate to your delightful words. And, my favorite parts of writing are the use of alliteration and enjambment, which you use brilliantly in this poem. Excellent quatrains with great, creative end rhymes. One of the best poems I've seen you write. Good luck! Sue

Me too Mikey! Poetry makes me happy but It has to have all those ingredients that you mentioned in your above poem. This is so well done and it would get my vote so far! Writing poetry is what makes me happy. Good poetry is hard to find. Well done! Good Luck! Nancy

solid use of abab rhyming
I like all the specific references to writing strategies/devices
good alliteration in phrases like blaze can burn and stalks your soul
good consonance in puzzle/sappy
you respond to the prompt well - writing, definitely not a person, pet or place :-) Brooke

Yes, writing can be a joyful experience. Most people that write every day find a joy in it. This was a well written poetic voice. It flows smoothly down the page and is written in a good format as well. I enjoyed reading and writing this response for it... John
