Float My Boat

tongue in cheek, sort of

Are 'facts' really poetry?

I get it, if you obey all the rules

you'll miss out on all the fun

but seriously, 'I've eyes of brown

My dog's name is Spot, I love frootloops'

doesn't blow my skirt up or float my boat

I hear you Frieda. While I agree that it may not be what you or I consider poetry, some people seem enamored of it, perhaps so they can let others know who they are, and feel understood? I thought that was what the *about me* page was for, but seems not. I just choose to not read it.

[Frieda P]

Even 'bad' poetry comes from the heart, I know I've written a few pieces myself! That at least I can give some merit to...

[LA Lorena]

we must all write stinkers from time to time Freida, it allows the other poems to smell so much better. ;)

[Frieda P]

I hate it when you make sense :-P

[Kaylor Mason]

Even Shakespeare wrote a few that were truly awful

[Frieda P]

Haven't we all, just let it come from the heart....

A good Poet will make the story better. Good to use the imagination in story and tale. No good man ever complain at the wind for showing a good legs and butt. Thank you for the entertaining poem.

hahaa I may use that Coyote! 'No good man ever complain at the wind for showing a good legs and butt' ;-)

Love how the first line is a question and all other lines support your thoughts with broken phrases, sarcasm, and honesty! Way to take something that everyone has experienced and condense it into a tangible ether! THAT'S WHAT POETRY IS ABOUT!

[Frieda P]

Oooo I like this review! Thanks so much Sethnicity.

[Tarry Franck]

Love it :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks Tarry :-)

[KAOlmsted]

F*****g lists.

[Frieda P]

[Dream Weaver]

I believe that any arranged words that tell a tale that describes someone or something is poetry in it's purest form! Nicely done!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Dream...

[Lover Of Words]

So true

[Frieda P]

I think so ;-)

I agree with you... there are some poems that lack that "omph" and even though some poems are made of facts they're conveyed with a more artistic touch and cadence. ^_^

[Frieda P]

I have no qualms with facts, there seems to be an influx of 'list' poems on the popular writing page, and throughout the site. I'm posting my grocery list next. 5 Things I Need From the Supermarket. Look for it soon. ;-)

I love you for this poem. It brought a warm smile to my heart.

[Frieda P]

Wow, you're easy, and thanks! ;-)

[Ahmad Cox]

Hehe I love the whimsical. I am a crazed scientist at heart.

[Ahmad Cox]

I am just waiting for the right chance to take over the world.

[Frieda P]

Hah! Not if I beat you to it....

[Ahmad Cox]

We can work together. We can mastermind a plot to overthrow the government. We could do a lot better job than most of the people in office right now.

[Frieda P]

That shouldn't be too hard, but I'm not into politics, I just want World Domination ;-)
