You are a hoot Brian! ! Don't know how I skipped this one... Perfection and a 10 - :)
duh! enjambment? ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - enjambment [en-jam-muh nt, -jamb-] • Word Origin noun, plural enjambments [en-jam-muh nts, -jamb-] (Show IPA) . Prosody. 1. the running on of the thought from one line, couplet, or stanza to the next without a syntactical break. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ok, but what IS “syntactical”? ? some sort of flying dinosaur? ? ? “You’ll fail, of course, ” ……………this got a devilish chuckle out of me. [are you sure YOU aren’t ME? oh, yeah, “syntactical” ………I wouldn’t have used it ‘cause I never heard of it! ] speaking of “great”, this would do very well in Section B of ‘my’ “a showcase for PH poets” for December. how about it? bri :) to MyPoemList
I don't have to say a thing. Pamela nailed you to the mast (With double-shotted guns WS Gilbert) You two poets help to keep this site alive. Brian, this was one of those why didn't I think of that things. Congratulations.. It was Mel Brooksian (high praise indeed) thanks guys and gals. Glad I visited a 10
Thanks, Wes. Very nice comments, friend. No worries; you'll think of the next one. :)
Loved your poem Brian. I'm sure it will be an absolute stunner :)
It is. it knocked me unconscious after the first line, but I persevered. See Reflection.
Very cleverly and wisely depicted this poem. It is really the terrific one. Thrilling expression I adore it. Thanks for sharing. .....10
Yeah, let us know when you're done with it...or maybe we'll just hear about it on the evening news...either way, I'm sure it will be great...after all, you told us so yourself...
Writing a great and terrific poem is as easy and as simple As popping a great big red and purple pimple. Just stick in that pen and let it unload; And OUT...that great poem will quickly explode!
Ah, but what if that pimple's on your new best friend and it's not upon his face but his opposite end?
when you joke about your doing, should you apply rules, the same rules? visiting moon did we apply for visa? and the earth looks much nicer!
Referring to your out-of-box topic as satyrical (or ambiguous ) expression of poet self illusion, I surmised that styling formats (rules) expected for in-box topics may not be relevant here. The freshness of your „relativistic“ (and curing) approach is what really counts. An image of earth from the moon.
Brian, you are the greatest poet that I have ever seen on PoemHunter. You're really terrific and so is this poem! There are others of yours I like better, but this one is pretty good. Of course, I might have a couple of suggestions for improving its artistic merit...hmmmm. First of all, the title...well, the title is descriptive, but its awfully repetitive. I don't see how the repetition of the title helps the poem all that much...and well, I might think about changing it if I were you. Also, in the first stanza, you use the poetic term, enjambment...Well, there isn't really any of that in this poem..and well, I don't know if you should refer to this term if you don't even use it...EVER! Finally, this poem does not rhyme....of if there is rhyme, it is merely incidental. Therefore, I would also suggest you put in some intentional rhyming here. Finally, I'm into cartoons. Maybe you could draw a cartoon and take a picture of it and then put it at the bottom of the poem. Well, after all that, I'm thinking this poem isn't really all that great and terrific after all. I mean, I think I'M really the BEST poet here and MY poem will be greater and terrificer....after I write it. Im so sorry Brian..keep trying. Maybe next time? ;)
You had me at me at ever seen. My eyes glazed over after that and I missed most of what else you wrote. You do make an interesting point, though. Or at least I assume you did, as I didn't really read it- -but you're a smart girl so I figure there's gotta be something up ^^ there I could paste in my hat and reference in a pinch... Can you put it in fewer words? Maybe haiku form?
