I love the kitty cat, the picture. I love the book the kitty has its paw on which is brilliant, and the lines are above and beyond those read thus far. Kudos to you.

You make it sound easy but I'm sure it isn't. A fun poem and a good entry into the contest. The art work is touching and a good choice for your work.

Hi Judvan2 Go for it . I thought I would give it a try and am still learning the meaning of iambic meter etc and syllables .so my next one will be an improvement now I understand how they are written, but I enjoyed the challenge with this one anyway. Cheers and many thanks for your review

The image is so cute, "what rhymes with cat"? :)
It's am intriguing form, I like the example that Adewpearl uses...why not try it again?
Oh, she says iambic - emphasis on second syllable.
It looks
Like fun
But yet
'Tis hard :)

Hi Carol ,Thanks for your review and I think I finally understand what iambic means so my next one will be more technically correct. It is not as easy as it looks and I am learning new things all the time so I do appreciate and now understand your comments. Had some fun with this one though. Cheers

This is great Chrissy. I am so glad you tried this. It is a good challenge for choosing the exact syllable count. Prepares one for the even more difficult syllable count forms. Bravo!!

Hi Drew, yes I am alway up for a poetry challenge and saw this and though I would have a go not sure if the meter is all correct but I like it as I have written it . That is how it came out of my brain LOL ( however as you know my brain can go a bit haywrie sometimes Ha Ha ) Cheers again Christine

reply by Drew Delaney on 29-Jan-2016

Yes, me too! LOL

Comment from Dawn of Tomorrow

Good

This is a cute one, these iambic monometers can be tricky because you have to keep with the da DUM sound with you write your lines so when starting yours you are out of meter. You might try this kind of rhythm

It's clear
that one
must try
so hard
to find

That type of thing. Let me know if you revise and I'll take another look

Comment from Joy Graham

Excellent

I think you did a super good job of this contest entry :) Well done for your first try. I think enjambment is the way to go with this poetry form, and you did just that. Best of luck to you, you may hold your head high with this effort.

Hi Joy Thanks very much for your encouraging words I will look up enjambment so I can see what you refer too. I am going to do a course in writing to learn all about the styles and poetry language and get a better understanding of what it all means. I have been learning heaps since joining FS and will have a try at many different styles, sometimes without knowing the depth required. ( I think I even have a Haiku down pat now LOL had never heard the term before FS) Once again thanks for your support Joy Cheers

enjambment is where you carry a sentence across to the next line.

reply by the author on 29-Jan-2016

Thank you Joy I will remember that and yes that is what I have done Many Cheers I will put that one away for later use. Christine 😃
