Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I Know That I Can Rhyme - Inspired By Contest

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

Coolsome! *two thumbs up* :) hugs ~ Artsie xx Jan Allison April 29, 2018 at 5:41 PM lol at two thumbs up, I started the poem about a week ago and sent it to the sponsor and said I'd try to finish it and post it for fun, am delighted she likes it so much to use it as a contest example although it is i stanza too long I hope people who are entering read it to see what type of thing she's looking for:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich April 29, 2018 at 5:09 PM 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! Jan Allison April 29, 2018 at 5:19 PM ha ha ha at your banter - you tell her Nina we both 'talk proper' don't we lol:-) I was inspired by the contest but couldn't enter as I am a PM. I started the poem about a week ago but only finished it today:-) hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane April 29, 2018 at 11:54 AM I know how well you rhyme, and not just in limerick form. ;-) Lin Lane April 29, 2018 at 12:35 PM A few SHOULD take it seriously, but those are the ones who never see themselves that way. Jan Allison April 29, 2018 at 12:31 PM Thanks Lin I hope no one takes it seriously I just couldn't resist the challenge :-) hugs jan xx

Pandita Sietesantos April 29, 2018 at 10:01 AM 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 April 29, 2018 at 10:15 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

FJ Thomas April 29, 2018 at 9:43 AM 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 April 29, 2018 at 10:11 AM YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS of course I've just mailed you to suggest you use it if you like it and now I see you've had the same thought!:-) hugs jan xx
