This is a whimsical yet organized poem that points out much of the thinking process that people who write poetry go through. Favorite lines: With thoughts kaleidoscopic
there is always a topic,
from nature to prayer,
love shows that I care,
And although the meter and number of syllables vary a bit, I think you did a nice job.

A powerful self-defeating argument extolling the virtues of rhyme. Rather like the work of the famous McGonagle this depicts everything about rhyme that has caused it to be abandoned by thecfree-versers.
I am confident that this was intended as an example of your effervescent humour because if it was not , I can see we are are going to fall out.
All I can say at this juncture is, keep practising.

Very clever and most amusing! I can relate--being metaphorically challenged "real" poetry is a stretch, thus I aspire to amateur status. Cheers. LIZ (re real poets thinking your work was a crime--reminds me of a clever line from TV---your poetry doesn't deserve a license.)

Lisa my friend, it's not easy to make people laugh, and to do that with such finesse poetic form is awesome; you sustained the theme and maintained perfect rhymes throughout; picture-perfect poem, thank you for the delightful treat.

LisaMay, how much fun. A rhyming poem is an art. Some fail by using singsong rhythm. "I saw the dog in the fog, sitting on a log" When a poet just reaches for any word just to make it rhythm, it takes away from the poem and its beauty.
Here you did a marvelous job not only rhythming but making it so well written and making this so enjoyable to the reader.
Good luck in the contest.

Practice, practice, practice, LisaMay, and one day I say you may be ok. Not in disarray but with your life on display. The practicing poet that won the day is none other than yours truly, LisaMay. And people will yell, Hooray!
Love your poem any day.
Jose. :)

This is awesome. Quite the flow and a great rhyming scheme. I'm a practicing poet here let me show it. If I can make you smile I will stick with that for awhile. I'm a practicing poet did I show it. Well done.

You made me smile here Lisa as your practicing is put into humorous words and entertained us here. I liked:
"and try a sonnet about a lace bonnet
but (depend upon it), I'm sure you'd vomit"
Much enjoyed,
Love Dolly x

Enjoyed your humorous poem, LisaMay! I certainly am practicing here. When I read the real poets here, I am in awe that they blend metaphors so effortlessly. And me, I'm still practicing and learning and trying to avoid rhyming clunkers. Your serious poems are amazing!

I giggled my way through this, so I'm not going to Analyse it to death, I know you've got your tongue stuck firmly in your cheek, it's like calling oneself a Christian, let others do that, (God certainly doesn't, He calls us lots of other things though) you'll find yourself called all sorts of things, fortunately fanstorians are a polite bunch, so they'll be nice. But genuinely, an excellent work... and also some clever rhyming, hem hem...poet? Blessings LisaMay, Roy
