A poem form with severe limitations

Add many stringent applications 

Does one write with intellect

Oh! Heck, incorrect!

'Tis shot down!

Decked! 

So this clown

Will just disconnect

Don't worry 'bout that aspect

Whoa! Just do total aberration

A poem form with severe limitations

You’ve hit the nail on the head with this excellent poem. Are we better poets within a box or do we write better without? An age old question pondered by artists of all genre. As far as I know, there is no definitive answer. This is artistry within restriction. Best wishes. Deb

Deb, I am honored with your kind review of my work. I am glad that you also have pondered the question. I guess sometimes we can just jot down thoughts and let them flow then maybe at a later time put that idea into a form. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Maybe by Trump are being intimidated; Wherever we are uncomfortably situated; Act on stage, Latest rage; Him as President have been humiliated.

James, Trump is not bothering me. The news and media is bothering me with their way of taking one little item out of context and making him look worse than he is even though he can do a good job on his own. I think the man has a problem but he can work on that and be the best president if the news will leave him alone. Sara

Ha!!! Methinks you do not like my form very much. For some reason i work better when limitations are put on me, but i do realize the Andaree is a bit more limiting than normal!! i think you did a great job nonetheless!

Andrea, The first one that I did was much harder to write. Maybe my brain is failing somewhat. Age takes it toll. The form is difficult and I have to write down what is expected for each line then work from that. Thanks for stopping by. Sara
