Sometimes poets clarify their conundrum or sometimes its left on to readers how they introspect poet's words... Very well expressed in just few words and the quote above in the picture also show the wisdom of poets.

HELLO POET: I like your poem here because of how it makes me feel as a poet. I feel that writing poetry should let me be me. A witty poet once wrote: "The satisfaction of springing at last, the obstinate words, in the stubborn line. His name is, John Holmes. Like you said: "Conundrum means brain teaser, riddle." I've found that readers of poetry like for their brains to be teased but at the same time be pleased. This is what poetry is all about. I love doing just that. Are we having fun yet, poet? Yes, we are...and we know it. God bless you. Cordially: rhonnie69.

It's good when wisdom and poetry go hand-in-hand. A powerful combination when they do. Your poem follows the bizarre rules of the contest perfectly. Good luck with your entry.

While this meets the syllabic requirements set forth in the writing prompt, Anonymous Poet, the words seem forced and simply strung together, making little or no sense at all.
I rarely give a fellow member anything less than a five-star rating, just so you know. If I do award a piece less than a five, I generally give suggestions on how to improve the writing.
Having said that, however, you come across as an arrogant wannabe who thinks they possess more wisdom than most others.
If that were true, you should be able to write something which imparts much more sage wisdom than this.
Best of luck.

I haven't tried writing poems using this poetic style. But it is refreshing to review poems written this way. I do love reviewing very short verses and this poetic style suits my taste. Thanks for sharing an excellent piece.

Well Mystery Writer, this certainly is a new poem format with which I am unfamiliar. You have followed the prompt guide lines and you have a message for us all on this web site. I wish you luck.

What an interesting format and content you've chosen to pen about, writer. I love that your wisdom is poetically inclined and concise. The image was a good one to accompany this write, and the structure is definitely different, but you pulled it off. The poem doesn't feel forced or choppy and it reads well. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

Quote is a most profound one indeed, and often proved true in various ways
and various kinds of poets.
Your poem message relays a kind of universal Bard connectiveness and
accrued wisdom, which likewise is a shared and uniquely bared truth
and troth. Love the way you worded this gem in this unique concept
and conviction. Thanks for sharing.

I know that the greatest wisdom I've ever read comes from the books in the bible dedicated to wisdom and poetry, Psalms, Job, proverbs, Ecclesiastes the Pentateuch (5 books of instruction, law has connotations to the reader as being severity, but as a loving parent gives instruction to a child, so are the books of the law) well said, some of the best advice given in various cultures, are attributed to famous poets. Well done, Blrssings, Roy
