Poem Title:
Poem
part one: i was new and i wasn't sure what to expect i was here to mend. before i submitted anything i thought i would get a lay of the land. finally i dove in. head first. yikes! in the shallow end. double yikes! part two: dear reader after that tumultuous beginning of this harrowing tale we continue with part two. (scary movie music plays to no avail) boy oh boy this is really scary stuff back to the story, though a little rough (as an aside did i mention i have big feet their long fellows) part three: the time had come. this is no time to be dumb. had a poem to submit. one with a lot of wit "roses are red violets are blue some poems rhyme some poems don't" i couldn't enter this poem it was written by Shakespeare and that would be plagiarism (note to self look up the meaning of that big word i just wrote. it is a big word like marmalade) part eight: so there i was reading my first comment. i couldn't believe what i was reading. the words were kind and helpful could this be true i had expected something brittle i grabbed a tissue tears were streaming down my face i thought this is a fantastic place the poets here are quite amazing talk about baffling and confusing this was a lot better than the time i had spent in jail in the country of iran a small room and a pail do you know what that comment said "i read this while lying in my bed i thought it was quite romantic actually even really poetic" part twenty: Fini (in my own defense the rules said use any style. this is a form the french call poetry of the absurd...or not!)
