Hi heyjude, Yes it can be a challenge to get the right syllables and then to finish a line with the right one i.e feminine or masculine is not always right. Iam glad you had a smile. Many Thanks for your review Cheers Christine😀

So true, so true. Great artwork! This is how I feel trying to come up with the correct syllable count. Ug! Thanks for this funny, witty piece.

Hi Malerie. Thank you for your review and feedback. it can be difficult at times to be spot on with the syllable, but It is fun and challenging to get it right. Glad you thought this funny and witty. Cheers Christine😃

Your poem has an amusing collection of words to produce this three-five-three. I like the humor in this. good luck with the contest

Ha, ha, another super entry into the 3/5/3 contest. I absolutely adore the picture even though I know I'm not supposed to comment on it, it's a beauty and complements your clever poem incredibly well.

Best wishes to you in the contest, this is a good one. :))

Hi gloria, I whipped this up when I looked at the requirements what else do you do with 11 syllables LOL. Thanks for reading and for your best wishes. Cheers Christine😄

Good job with the syllable count. Your poem is not grammatically correct and it would be easy to improve. See below.

Can be hard
To find enough words
That sound right

It can be

Hi Gypsy, Thanks for your review and suggestions and I can see where you are coming from with the grammar. I'll keep this in mind. Do three line poems have to make one statement like writing prose ? Cheers

reply by Gypsy Blue Rose on 03-May-2016

It does not have to be a sentence but you chose to write one. Read both out loud and see which one sounds better to you. Both have the same amount of syllables.

reply by the author on 03-May-2016

Oh I see, but it is in now, so I will keep this in mind for the next one. I really appreciate you insight. Cheers again

Good job. You are so right. Finding the small number of words that make sense and say something. Would the first line be better as "It is hard"? (Just a suggestion, by no means a criticism.)

Hi Zeke, Yes I agree and have changed the first line to It's so hard so thanks for your suggestion and also for taking the time to read and review and I am always open to a suggestion and often change if I like it. Many Cheers to you

You have mastered the syllable pattern. The next challenge is, can you add in rhyme or some other poetic device while keeping this minimal pattern?

Hi rspoet. I am pleased you thought this well done and I had fun using the prompt requirements as my actual 3-5-3 .I do so appreciate your review and good luck wishes Thank you Cheers

-So clever, starting with the colorful artwork.
-I like this take on a 3-5-3 poem.
-Title is spot on, as well as the format.
-Good connection between lines that creates one complete thought.
-You "tell it like it is!"
-Doing this is hard when not enough words or syllables are allowed.
-I am guessing you are actually pretty good at these various forms.
