Notes About The Poem

A Quirky ‘OCD’ Poetry Contest sponsored by Suzette Richards ~ December 2025

Symmetry OCD

Whenever I visit my aunt
She asks if the frames are aslant
Every wall I inspect
And in jest interject
Precise - bar The Storm by Rembrandt!

It's unfortunate that in some cases we have to submit to strict syllable rules when meter is more important. I see you redid it now. Good for you

Excellent humor. I counted 9 syllables in last line in case that matters to the sponsor. To me it doesn't matter.

Thank you for liking and for the feedback, Andrea. I edited the last line, just in case, though, like you, I was comfortable with the way it flowed. . Best regards // paul

The only paintings I saw by Rembrandt are in Holland. Loved your limerick. Wishing you all the best for Yuletide.
