Encouraged by the masses is mediocrity, like when someone at a bar sings bad karaoke. As they belt out notes off key, we might give guffaws. Drunken with good will, though, we offer up applause. Written Feb. 14, 2016 for the Grook Contest of Silent One

I'm sorry since I'm not really reading your poems right now, stuff keep going over my head so I can't comment properly and ust ramble (what's new eh?) sorry. I hope I can read your poems more properly soon and comment properly as well but just wanted to send you warm hugs and let you know I'm still alive (and being such a procrastinator) heaven help me.

Karaoke is the moment of fame for some; shy ones with an extra drink inside them realize that 'they've got it'...give them a round of applause! Applause to you too Andrea...congratulations:) // paul

Congratulations on your high placement in the contest, Andrea! I wasn't sure who was writing which, but now that I find that it's you, it's very fitting! You've captured the mood of the karaoke scene, to a tee ... everything sounds better when you've had one too many ;)

The first Grook that I've ever read. Are the rest this good? Fantastic first rhyme, to a nice tight poem. A most amusing read.

Love it! Absolutely. I'd never heard of Grook until this contest and wonder if you've written many - you certainly 'nailed' the criteria. I hope you are having a fun and fulfilling day off ... CayCay
