Excellent 5-7-5. I got a good laugh out of that.
SILENCE IS GOLDEN
IMBECILES SHOULD BE KEEP SILENT
DUCT TAPE IS SILVER

yeah that just about sums up how I feel about getting a one star rating for a poem I wrote called no words required and the reason he gave me ? it didn't rhyme for fk sake you should read it its double line rhyme all the way through but I digress this is the most apt poem for some arseholes on here who have nothing better to do than review so ridiculously low its not funny in the 18 months coming to fanstory I have never received one fkg star and there is nothing on his profile portfolio posted surprise!
surprise!

sorry dean your little gem just got me going the poem so fkd is called no words required and it was written because I felt the image that inspired me really did require no words of its beauty

    A one?! Could it have been an inadvertent click of the wrong rating, Dip? I've received just one - 1 star rating since I've been here. When I confronted the reviewer to ask them what I could do to the poem to warrant it getting at least a four, they replied that it was just a "brain fart" (their words, not mine) due to old age. They never rectified it.

Excellent photo of tape that complements your poem very well. I like the way you put it in this 5-7-5. We just were never allowed to use the word imbeciles. But your poem made me simile. Best wishes for the prompt.

I loved the art work ,the title and words written for the contest. Silence can be golden within our lives.
I guess if one wanted someone to be silent
duct tape is a good choice could hurt though on the mouth.

Humorous 5-7-5 contest entry (I hope!) Silver & Gold.' your 5-7-5 is kinda funny in a way. Does it mean imbeciles are golden too? Well done, Dean.

Dean Kuch, I love this poem. It would make a wonderful graphic tee-shirt. I especially liked:

Imbeciles should keep silent
Duct tape is silver

(Excellent)

This poem "cracked" me up. I am smiling and laughing.
Wonderful humor. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

    Thank you very much, LateBloomer. I am not used to getting six star ratings for my shorter stuff, so your generosity is doubly appreciated. I wish there were about two more voters who felt the way you do about the poem, LOL. It lost the contest by a single vote.

    Anyhow, much obliged for the awesome review, my friend. :) ~Dean

    Ahh, and now I feel guilty for not keep up with the contests. Maybe, this poem will be chosen as the poem of the month ... The glass is half full. Lol, LateBloomer

    Hah, well, ya just never know I suppose, LB. But I think it would be the first short form poem to ever have been nominated for Poem of the Month. I think we have a better chance of Obama being elected president again. Heh-heh... ;)

Classic. I don't know what more I can add to this review other than the usual good-luck wishes and confirmation that your syllable count is correct! Winner!!

Very good! I liked this clever 5-7-5 write.
Blunt and to the point of being funny and direct at the people who need to hear it most. I'm afraid that the duct tape, however, may be covering their ears instead of their mouths.

OMG- this is so very clever and I know some people I would like to add silver to. I prefer silence and few people around except for my Fanstory friends~Debbie

This one is really funny. I've had such experiences over the years where I could have used some duct tape. The wife gets a little rowdy at times (ha). Good luck in the contest. Bill
