Connie Pachecho Poet Rhyme

My January Fix Brought February's Kick

8x8x8x8 Poetry Contest
Charles Messina


So here we are in the new year
Throw confetti wishes and cheer
January opened its doors nicely
Merry old me entered modestly
Shook the monkey off my back
Took his banana in place of a snack
How losing a few pounds inspires
Now I can climb the tree of desires

Connie Pachecho March 26, 2025 at 2:48 AM Connie, why don't you read the rules you silly goose. The rhymes at the start and at the end of the sentences are correct. The story line has a good flow. But you didn't read the contest details of having 8 syllables per line and your counts are way off (which is an easy fix). Man. You'll never be a swan. Read carefully next time.
