A cryptic message here and one that is particularly appropriate at this time of the year when everyone is scratching about to amass members' cents for their six at the starting post.

Too long, didn't read, you're right that attention spans are way too short these days.
I liked the but't's once I understood what u meant by it, ha, couldn't resist. Well done, I do like a nice, short piece myself ;))

Ya wanna know what really gets my goat, Bill?
It's the policy FanStory has of meeting a certain character criteria before a review will be accepted and considered legitimate.
Most of the reviews we post are far lengthier than the poems themselves.
Like mine here, for example.
Just sayin...

I understand what you mean, Dean. This is my secret to keeping sane while writing reviews that dwarf the piece written:

Example poem...

Kitten guts abound

they are somehow wrapped around

all the chess pieces

Example review:

This 5-7-5, Kitten Guts, has the proper framing and provides a scene of delight for some, and mild horror to others. The others are chess players.

What do you think?

Works for me, Bill...

Thank you for the notes explaining what is going on. I totally agree with you that people's attention spans prevent them from reading. Kids are to lazy with the rise of spell-check and texting using their made up vokes. Very nice job.

This is a very cute 5-7-5 poem you have penned. You used very cute imagery with the picture of the kitten knocked out and very cute words. I enjoyed reading and reviewing this. blessings, Teri

Lol. Thanks for the new vocabulary information in your helpful 5-7-5, Bill! Sorry that you had trouble with the apostrophes. It only happens to me if I copy and paste them. I can fix it by typing over it once I save the post.

Oh good. I thought it was a new problem as I couldn't remember it from before.
