Great photo selection, and great poem. Although yu have no rhyme or strict syll. Or meter, yur poem flows very well. Which is hard for a lot of writers to do. Yu should enter this into a contest. I look forward to reading more of your work

    This is free verse and does not require the mentioned. It is a piece that I have come to like myself for its endearing sentiment and quality.

Hi Bicpen,

I detect a bit of a broadside here ... I don't think I'd have chosen to describe writing in quite these terms, though I think I've seen 'reviews' with the same effect.

Clever play on the word, the rhythm and the variations on it were amusing at least.

Patrick

Your title and the money- to be completely honest- attracted me. It is very well written as a free verse and I loved how you compared the writer's infection with syphilis. Your poem sounds great. This is an honest review- LOL. Really.

It's not nice to have heartless, nasty things said about the writing we have poured our hearts into. I have had one or two of those, it hurts and puts you off writing in case they are right. Then I have to think of the positive reviews I've had, when I have gone wrong and had constructive criticism, I have welcomed it, but not hateful words, they are not necessary. Enjoyed and understood your poem. Sandra.

Clever and intriguing this play on words of disease and writing.

Nice image of the lily.

I like this line:
"Consider syphyilography
the description of the disease."

Hi, Bic - seems you've been the victim, like most of us, to insensitive and perhaps ignorant critique from the PEN of soemone not too nice.

There is a cure for syphilis, and it also cures writing disorders. It's called 'PEN-icillin' (get it? LOL). Maybe recommend a course of it to the culprit.

Best wishes, Ray

This is fantastic. What an image. And what a slap in the face to those unfair or terrible anal reviewers. I just love it.

Interesting, BicPen, interesting. I'm not sure exactly how to respond to this. I do agree that there are some (on FS) who really don't know how to properly review. (Perhaps there should be a mandatory "lesson"). It's interesting that I see this today. Just a while ago I reviewed a piece that I gave a 5 to. Someone else actually gave it a 1. I've never seen a 1 (until tonight). When I read the "1" review, it was totally unfounded. Wow, this ended up being a lot more "windy" than I intended.

I had to read it twice to get it, but I am a little slow. Then when i got it I was like woah this is powerful. Thanks for writing it. The first bit about the writing could apply to anything. I learned alot of stuff I didn't know.
