My rhyme is better than yours.. I’ll say that without a pause.... and I know I've got just cause cos your poems are written for bores You can post ten poems a day I now don’t read a word you say Your rhyming’s awful anyway and you’ve no clue of good word play At my simple poetry you scoff acting like an ignorant toff If you challenge me to a write off you’d find your words in a piggy trough It is a heinous crime as you think that you can rhyme your poems ain’t worth a dime they‘re just so inferior to mine I’ve got one final thing to say your poetry is so passé the rhyme is dire, it’s so cliché I’m a better poet than you any day! NOT aimed at anyone on the site purely inspired by Contest of F J Thomas 4/29/18

Nice rhymes that simply sang in tune A critique of well who knows who I'll tip my hat and shake your hand For rhyming I so understand Remember though to bounce in time Then you'll create the perfect rhyme. Tim

Ha, I can think of a few that fit this description! GREAT inspiration, Jan. I love how you just let others' poems inspire you. Funny though, for my American ear, I hear no rhyme for cause and bores!

A few SHOULD take it seriously, but those are the ones who never see themselves that way.

I wish I could write like this - that's what I call rhyming for real! This piece is such a wonderful reflection of your rhyming talent. Jan, you nailed it my dear! You go girl! I continue to learn from you! Love and hugs. Pandita

Jan Allison
Date: 4/29/2018 10:15:00 AM

Oh Pandita you are so kind, I just threw this together for fun but I have to admit rhyme will always be my favourite form not just limericks which I love to write but I now adore the pantoum form too which I find a challenge to write but so satisfying when it comes together:-) hugs jan xx

BAM BABY!!! OH MY GIRL YOU RIPPED THIS! I'm so proud of you ;^* Is it okay with you if I use this as another example in the contest area?

Jan Allison
Date: 4/29/2018 10:11:00 AM
