Comment from Susan Morritt
I greatly enjoyed reading this poem with its unique structure and touch of caustic humour. My favourite lines included: "smiling chap" and "takes one to know one." These really set the tone for the whole poem.

Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
Oh, you are free verse poet "want to be"
words fling forth and fall to a page
verse that might make some poets rage.
But words will continue to fall to the page.
This is a great poem and I especially like the last stanza. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

A nice happy bouncy poem answering Oh you are are you? The rhythm and rhyme are perfect. The words flow easily when read aloud. I also enjoy that it is witty and light. Easy reading! Great work!

Enjoyable poem that gives insight into who you think you are, or what you are thinking. I think your picture goes along with well with what you've said. Well done.

Comment from Darlene Franklin
It's good to re ad a poem where the poet thinks kindly of himself, without bragging about it. As you said, you continue to fling words on the page, and may you continue to do so.

Comment from Thomas Bowling
I like it a lot. Very imaginative and clever. Your poem is an excellent contest entry and the picture perfectly illustrates it. You should do very well in the voting booth.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I really like this line: words fling forth and fall to a page
I also think this line: To a tight, package for sure
doesn't need the comma after the word 'tight' there. I like the line about being an overachiever even in retirement, since it helps confirm my suspicion that people who write poetry on a regular basis like to stay busy intellectually and physically. Nice entry!

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Witty and to the point with lots of sarcasm in between :"h, you are such as overachiever,
even retired your schedule so full
It's hard to keep up with all you want to do,
takes one to know one, are you?
Oh, you are free verse poet "want to be"
words fling forth and fall to a page
verse that might make some poets rage.
But words will continue to fall to the page."
Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.
