I Apologize With Fresh Supplies of Is

You rightly, quite politely, criticise my efforts at composing “pleiades”. What’s rare about revilings such as these is, blaming me for leaving out my “I”’s. The reason isn’t tricky to surmise. My arrogance supposes I, with ease, can conjure (with unthinking expertise) whatever I may please. Please don’t despise my failure to peruse the contest rules, for carelessness (the calling-card of fools) is what possessed me. That, I can’t disguise. Each time a fresh and feisty pair of eyes lands on my folly, one more pride-cell dies. Its silver magenta is shimmering warm-white in damson-dark center, ink-black like summer night; if clay turned inventor, it might spawn this dawn-light.

Don't feel foolish, we've all been there :) I once managed to enter a 24 line poem for a 10-line max. contest ;) I love the way you wrote your apologiiiiies though, very creatively :)

hehehe Thank you for the sympathetic words, amigo. I love your 24-liner story! It's one of those things that's easy to get wrong, but looks so DUMB.

A double-dip of "I". I enjoyed both!

LOL The hope is, the poetic transgression will be forgiven if I say sorry poetically. Thank you, Kim!

I often fail when it comes to rules. No worries.

LOL That's kind of you. I have to say, I feel rather foolish.
