No poetry zone

The poet police pay attention to
punctuation, they patrol pauses,
comas, and correct enunciation..
The poet police prefer prolific
prose, perfumy pendants so
pen one of those..
Be mindful of what type of
poem you compose.
Pay attention to your tone,
and never ever park your poems
in a no poetry parking zone.

Love this, and yes apparently my poems are too much dear Nancy, too flowery it seems, and so much more, the kind of criticism i get and well not in a good way but to ridicule me is so funny! I love this poem! And we should write whichever we like and if i am someone that writes differently, poetry police should not read and just find better words to read instead of making fun of my writing: no one is perfect but the ignorant ones think they are perfect.

Damn those poetry police.. almost as bad as cyber trolls.. I do like the selection of words... I write as a form of catharsis and to keep the brain ticking... if i do make a mistake, it is nice when people soupmail to tell me...

Hi Silent One, At least you do know why you write and you are such a terrific writer. I haven't a clue why I write but I know that if I was still married and not living alone, I wouldn't be doing this as often. I do have fun with it though. Blessings to you

Hilariuos, Nancy, you will notice in my piems, errors. You cannotify me anytime and give me a ticket. I find me errors and nobody says a thing? I find piets labeling piems wrong vonstanty. The Monoku especially. The simplest pioem form?? Imperfect Pangie.

Hi Panagiota, Happy I was able to make you chuckle. I personally could use a poet police to help my spelling lately which is atrocious. Thankfully I do have spell check now. Blessings
