This contest would have blew my mind

Comment from royowen
Well done with this, but I have no idea what meter it is, some people onsite are far cleverer than I when it comes to Meter. But I think, forbwhat it's worth, you've done a great job on this fine poem. Written in pentameter, 9898 trimeter, the pentameter, but I think they mean rhythm, in aabb rhyming, great effort, articulate and smooth. Blesssings, Roy

Hi Roy, Ha Ha Thanks so much I am far from an expert also and often find meter a struggle to get my head around and often can't work out which word is stressed or unstressed either as it depend also on how one pronounces something I think ai write mose often in iambic meter .Had fun woth this one though Cheers

Hello,
It looks like you have a solid poem and entry for the contest
as it appears any meter will do and yours reads quite well.
The rhymes also work nicely in your aabb pattern.
Perfect picture matches the theme very well
Good luck in the voting

Hi Robert, Thanks very much for your encouraging review and being a very unmetered writer I thought this challenge could stretch my interpretation of the various meters Ha Ha still unsure but appreciate your time and good luck measure Cheers

Like a creator, you have explained the moods and feelings, steps and working and how you have done the work and enjoyed making it freely making your own meter as you could; well said, well done. Write to inspire, change -- DR ALCREATOR

Hi DR ALCREATOR, Thanks for ypur review and comments abet my attempt at this contest. I struggle with meter at times and thought I would write this in a lighhearted way and still remain unsure of stresses Ha Ha Cheers
Comment from 24chas
This was a good write. I like the way you mixed the meters and I assume you did it correctly as I'm a free verser. Nice job of writing and good luck in the contest.

Hi 24chas Thanks very much for your review and I still remain unsure although I tried to meet this challenge .Actually I don't think meter is so important as long as one enjoys writing free or not just to put our thoughts down is the challenge .I sometimes try free style but even then find it difficult to 'get right' Ha Ha, Cheers
Comment from Ja Majal
Alright lets see if I can break this down:
The first stanza is written in Iambic Pentameter
The second stanza, I am not sure if you were trying to do trochaic from what you said or if you were making your own rhythm but it reads like
_X _ _ X _ _ X from the stressed and unstressed syllables in the line.
So an Iam, _ X / to Anapestic _ _ X/ to Anapestic _ _ X
and the pattern follows! So good job lol!
The third stanza I'm getting Iambic Tetrameter
The fourth stanza i'm getting Iambic Trimeter
Ad the last stanza i'm getting Iambic pentameter!

Comment from artisart4u
It has a good beat and it is so funny.
I like the part, "I've done my best."
I am looking at the requirements for the stanza, this might are some time- hours or days on the Internet but it will get done.
Your poem probably is correct and good luck.
It will make it for being funny and mind blowing.

Hi artisart4u. Thanks you so very much for your wonderful review and issue of six stars. I had fun trying to interpret the meters and thought OK I'll have a go and your reward is enough I am pleased you enjoyed my humour also I have a huge grin at the moment . Cheers with much appreciation
Comment from Y. M. Roger
How could someone (even us poor untrained poets out here?) not enjoy your entertaining lesson on the mechanics of true poetry? This is just wonderful in that it is probably the FIRST example that allows the reader to see a comparison of the different ones together - great for the 'learners' out here.... Quick! Get thee to a high school English Teacher and offer this as a tool for her poetry unit -- she will thank you immensely! ;) ;) Best of luck at the polls! ;)

Comment from humpwhistle
Sorry, my friend, but this is way outside poetic comfort plane.
I do appreciate your struggles, and find no fault. But then, I'm way outside my poetic comfort plane.
I hope this goes well for you.
Peace, Lee

Comment from Mistydawn
This is a cute poem, a fun little read. Very well-written, interesting from a poet's POV. The way you used the different metrics is very creative, gave the poem a nice flow. Nice job, good luck with your contest. Love your artwork.
