In my opinion, a clever and fun write, indicative of the creative nature of an
extraordinary writer, courageous enough to respond to what appeared to me as an impossible challenge, which I did not attempt - I wish her best luck in the contest...

Comment from Pantygynt
Congratulations on your second place in this contest. It was a pity there were so few of us running in this race. I felt was a sad reflection on the lack of knowledge and understanding of metre that seems endemic on this site.

Thank you so much Jim And congratulations to you on your win
your meter was spot on and the poem a good read
I struggle with the different meters despite trying to learn them I find it difficult to work out the stress and unstressed
I must take one of your classes
Again I appreciate your review and well done to you as you do have a command of poetry requirements
Cheers Christine

Thank you. You would be welcome in any of my classes. The next one will be coming up in July on the subject of French poetry in translation. Rondeaux etc.
Comment from Gloria ....
This is a fun poem illustrating a few different metres. It reads so smoothly, that one would think it was just one metre. I like the style and I hope you write a whole bunch more.
Now I'm going out to find me some metre pigeons.
Great job Christine.

Hi Gloria, Thanks and I appreciate your comments to tell the truth I really struggle with meter and have not much understanding how to stress or not I find if I pronounce something I can put the stress anywhere LOL I will keep trying and thought I would have fun with this one made a second place Of course Panygynt won and with good reason he does know the different metres LOL Cheers Christine

Hi Dolly, Thanks my friend fo your review it was written with fun in mind certainly not to show of my meter skills which are very limited I get quite confused wirh the different styles and streeses etc so this was a little tongue in cheek poem Cheers Christinex
Comment from WryWriter
LOL! This poem is quite amusing telling of the struggle in creating a varied metered poetic work. It actually has a great rhythm to it. Enjoyed!

Comment from Mia Twysted
I love it. Poetry sometimes gets me and I do, at times, find it hard to follow. So this was a great expression of that frustration I feel trying to understand the rules that we are supposed to go by when writing such a piece.

Hi Mia. Thank you for your review and yes I find the same also at times, the meter is difficult to understand but I couldn't resist having a go at this contest pleased to have your comments Cheers
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is really good and I like the different approach you've used in presenting this. It's refreshingly different and I like the clever and colorful writing incorporated in it. I like it and enjoyed reading this. Well done!

Hi Jeffrey, Thanks so much I am pleased you liked my different approach .Not sure if the meter is spot on always a challenge still unsure of stresses and unstresses depends on one language and how you interpret a spoken word. had fun with this one Cheers
Comment from A. Willow Bends
Very well done. I should have entered this one as I jump off the meter track from time to time. Love the visual you chose to go with your words and this is simply cute. Good luck in the contest!

Hi Wendy, Thanls for reading and reviewing my attempt at this contest I am sure the meter is still off I write using syllables and still cant understand when the stress is supposed to occur Ha Ha Cheers for your good luck
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about different meter in a poem. It reads well and I did not notice the different meters used, but I like the rhythm that I feel while reading.

Comment from heavenempress
hi, nice piece of poetry and the skill that you displayed is excellent. I enjoyed the new type of poetry that I had never met before. Maybe One day will try it. Rich or rather strange vocabulary. Good image and well -laid out presentation. All the best.
