This was a very delightful piece. I enjoyed the play it seemed to have. It was as if the words egged the reader on,teasing them about how we writers writer our poems so they might share in it with us.

This is an adorable poem! So much of what you say rings true for so many of us. It's always fun to read something that makes fun to ourselves and others. I just love it!!! Ya made me smile!!
I've missed you! I haven't seen as much writing from you as usual. I know sometimes I just don't feel like writing but that never stops me from running at the mouth! LOL
I was in the hospital AGAIN! for an infection in the ulcer on my foot. I keep getting sick with it, even when it seems to be healing nicely, then out of the blue comes the fever and chills and IV antibiotics. This time they decided there is a second infection so they took me to surgery and took out a little bone that they feel is the culprit. I haven't written much due to being ill! I'm tired of being sick!!! LOL But, it feels good to be back at FS and see all my friends again!

Humorous descriptive explanation of poetic practitioner's process. A lighthearted treatise on the struggle to find an appropriate topic, and the ways and means to make it palatable to an audience consisting of unlimited perspectives.
The background color of minty toothpaste blue, along with the basket overflowing with failed attempts, adds much to the levity of the narrators situation. Spilled red wine on the carpet next to the paper wads, might further press home the points submitted here. LOL :)))!!
The foundational motivation of love, care, prayer, and smiles, blended into the finally found words, surely must be enough "success" to satisfy the author?
Does she deliver? Yes, she does!!!
Well done!
Many will be blessed by this one!

A very well-written poem about being a port in training. We are all poets in training there is every day something new we can learn about poetry. No one is perfect and as long added are willing to learn we may become perfect one day.

This poem is excellent in every respect--well-put-together, VERY creative, descriptive--in general, a great blend of humor and serious points about writing poetry.

Welcome to the club, Lisa May. Speaking, or rather writing about my own experience, I think there is a mountain to climb, but the top will be grandiose. In the meantime, rhyming is just an option. I wish you well.

With this poem, I'm a Practicing Poet, you didn't blow it. Your end words all rhymed, not just nickel and dimed. I guess your poeming is completed, with all metering meeted.

Did I show it?
Yeah... I know it.
A lot more practice is needed

Hi Lisa
That's a fun poem with the priority of rhyming. I prefer rhyming to free verse, but to each his/her own.
I always enjoy your humor. I think Shakespeare was a comic rhymester as well. You are following in his footsteps,
My favorite lines,
"I must put down the glass,
show a modicum of class,
but it's thirsty work you must agree,
wrestling with words to make poetry."
Thanks for the smile this morning!
Hugs,
Kimbob
