cliche smeeshay	So... I hear a bunch of malarkey about some made up terminology such as: CLICHE's... I feel like Mr. Gerrettson (am) saying Clinches are bad MmmKay.... My head is floating away now; like a balloon... OK fine; you got me (I betcha that's a cliche too) I haven't watched South Park since I was 13 in eighth grade. Let me get this straight (probably another taboo cliche;my apologies) I haven't even heard of hardly any of the "Cliches" listed on the list. Matter of fact (cliche) I am not proud to admit that seldom do I read poetry. Or anything other than on screen search text or text messages... I think I've only successfully completed reading three novels in my entire life. I'm using my dumb phone as we speak to make this topic post. Man I sound like an idiot (cliche) I'm going to cut to the chase (cliche) I will write poems the way I choose how so. If I happen to accidentally reconjure some taboo clinches then be that as it may (cliche) If we allow the forms to govern our poetry... A number... Not a page number in a real book though... You will become the ultimate cliche. You know... The one that isn't on the big list of made up cliche propaganda. And with that I shall cliche my way out of this message. Peace inn; Ironic Zinc

Hello Am Chris!!	1.) believe in your words 2.) write everyday 3.) be authentic 4.) learn and practice forms. 5.) create new styles 6.) enter contests with low expectations, it proves discouraging suffering loss after loss but the objective of contests are much more for enhancing the poetry community than a win. Remember that people sponsor these competitions and we judge to taste. A win is simply an opinion of a host. Even a loss is win in my book. My list could reach double digits so in conclusion, love words and words will love you. Welcome aboard!

This place is a joke	This place is not above a good joke. Funny poems are just plain fun. Be patient. If you stop and breath... Poetry can find you and the best way to get comments is to comment on others poems. Just keep writing; no matter what. I'm sorry for your frustrations here, if you hang in there you will be rewarded with the miraculous gift of being a contributing member to PoetrySoup.
