A Woman
(a limerick)
By Franklin Price
10/22/2015

A woman I know from Vermont
Would Facebook grammatically haunt
Her critiques quite verbose
Errors smelled with her nose
Tell me I'm wrong she would gleefully taunt

(I know verbose and nose don't rhyme – you'll just have to live with it)...

Hello, I am the colon grammatically
 And not colon cancer medically.
If the poetry soup won’t allow me
It’s not the matter of great scree.
Can’t use me in title, then in the text that follows
My job is to inform reader what follows.
The grammarians use me in three ways
Syntactically, appositive, segmental always.

Creation requires
No rules 
just rambling
lying your heart on the page
even if its a bit grammatically incorrect
at least there was a release
everything is revisible 
but I think the first thoughts
to come to a poets mind are the most unique
their unfiltered
and undiluted
and at its purest form
is when poetry is at its greatest
because it speaks the truth...

Hot shot
Sworded swagger
Flashing boldly unconscious
Glommed to center of attention
Easy to spot.... (not hot)

Written by Nancy Jones on the Fourth of July, 2012
For Nette's "Pen a Pensee" Contest
Grammatically questionable, and includes words I made up since there weren't any existing words available to say what I wanted.
Really enjoy star gazing :)...

Winter is the time of year
ice prevails before the sun,
not at all when people should
try out races now begun.
Extol virtues of nature,
run, life's race must now be run

Dorian,
In your poem Summer you disallowed comment so no one could mention the second line is grammatically incorrect. It should read..
Umm, temperature just soars! 
or
Umm, temperatures just soar!...

Black plastic bag
discarded on the bridge
writhes like 
an injured animal.
      
A paragraph of
birds in the blue 
of the sky wing by
grammatically correct,
but open ended until
the commander in chief
changes its configuration
with punctuation.
      
A fleet of wild geese
flying their colors
barge in like 
small battleships 
in minor invasion.
The equation
some of us make
is: what price
Freedom?...
