:) freedom to express is a very valuable gift we have...
I loved the quote from Lawrence..

[Relic]

Thanks for your thoughts, Galadriel.

This reminds me of my own poem entitled "A Call to Artsmen" (only it solely focuses on writers). It has wit, it has humour, it has fantastic musicality (love the quote, too) Well done!

[Relic]

Thank you emi. :)

[Poetic Beauty]

The humor in this piece is so true especially the last line. We write and write. Work for hours when our muses scream inside our brains. Always hoping it is more than crap.

[Relic]

Yes, always hoping. In your case, I don't recall ever reading crap. :) Thank you.

[Poetic Beauty]

Smiles thank you

Were it not for the obvious work that you always put into your poems, I wouldn't point this out; but I know that, in this case, you would want to know. Your meter of 10-8-10-8 is thrown in the first line of the second stanza: "Try to establish original poems," which has 11.
Other than that, I love it. The message is so perfect for this forum.

If you're happy with, I'm happy for you. I still say it's 11.

[Relic]

hahaha. can you show me in syllables the way I did above? You're probably right. Now I have to figure out what to replace it with.

Hmm? Being Richard helped me with this, I'll ask him what he thinks. Would that help clear it up?

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Be my guest. No matter what he says, I still say it's four syllables. :-)

Oh, I'm don't disagree with the word original. I'm still counting 10 syllables in the sentence.

I don't* disagree

[Relic]

Then the problem I have then is the word poems. I counted it as one word. Hmm?

[Relic]

Yes, I see now. Interesting. I'll try to revise that line too.
Thanks Linda. :)

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

My obstinate pleasure. :-)

[Relic]

I replaced established with create. :)

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Perfect! :-)

[Relic]

............. :) Thanks for pointing that out. The next time I count syllables, I'll look up the meaning of the words. That will give me the syllable count.

Now, want to do a collab on the one I just posted and make a syllable count?

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Sorry. I have to pass. I'm struggling with one of my own that doesn't seem to want to end. It's driving me mad. :-)

[Relic]

Okay then, just don't read it. :)

[Carol Cashes]

Outstanding! A shout out to those who are so inclined to express themselves, and a challenge to "bring it". I envy you poets, I'm entirely to literal and wordy to excel in this form of expression. Well done.

[Relic]

Thank you Carol.

[slfisher89]

Encouraging, sweet, and funny

[Relic]

Thank you. :)

[Zoya]

Love the message here, there are no parameters for writing! Quite a funny ending though. Lol. Thanks for sharing!

[Relic]

Glad you liked, thank you. :)

[Zoya]

most welcome

[Silmara McGarry]

Freedom of thoughts in freedom of words! I really enjoy its light feeling...And love it : (Whether it's humor or simply absurd, will not make a difference to me.) So great :-)

[Relic]

Glad you liked it Sil, thanks.

[Papaya]

Ha. Nice finish. I like the part about the form not mattering because it really shouldn't. Everyone has their own preferred style.

[Relic]

Yes they do, thank you for the review.

[Ruth]

You capture the essence well here, the total freedom to write anything, just write...so to speak...be free in the creativity and if it isn't read or shared even, you have still created and been the Poet at heart...lovely :)

[Relic]

Thank you very much for the review Poppy.
