Grammar monster ate my participle...

For my personal editor ~ Love you KL! ;-)

Grammar monster ate my perfect future past participle

dangling it whole as I 'used to' drink present tense coffee

turned my structure upside down and axiomatic sideways

blew away my affair with apostropheliac's dreams on high

like a star pen'd way up on the sky's blue moon's flight

writing as fast as I can in hopes of an idyllic fervent view

where verbiage and adjectives  join in harmonious matrimony 

comatose commas and pretend periods will join in the cheer

questioning marks that don't belong in adaptation's atomic verse

we all take a stanza before we all fall down, 

got the pronoun blues, please don't objectify me babe

sometimes I just can't help being so apostroph'd challang'd

.... Hallelujah and all that jazz ~

Noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction, inter junction, simple present, present continuous, simple past, past continuous, past participle, simple future, future continuous, future perfect, did not get me any where, one nice reader told me, this is too bad, is English is your second language really helped me partially, read eat what is served it is there, I posted without editing as teens at home fighting with thunderstorm, so I had to stop and just hit save in cafe, so bundle up all the grammar and throw in the backyard, let it grow in spring and summer, enjoyed your clever writing

[Frieda P]

[Linda alexander]

[Baby Ricochet]

Cute. Fun story to read so to speak. Thank you

[Eddie Davis]

Brilliant, it is the stuff of English teacher's nightmares. Good job!

[Frieda P]

Ha and poets alike, thanks Eddie!

[Vidya Bacchus]

I so get the pronoun blues ,but what's a girl to do ?

[Frieda P]

[Vidya Bacchus]

Maybe both lol

[Frieda P]

[Vidya Bacchus]

That it wood..... I meant would lol

[Frieda P]

[Vidya Bacchus]

Ha you know it lol

[Rita L. Sev]

comatose commas and pretend periods... LOL! I have seen more than my share of these! This is a grammar/writing teacher's dream and nightmare rolled into one, Frieda! :)

[Frieda P]

Hahaha coming from you that's something teach! Thanks so much Rita ;-)

[icelandicblue]

This was just so much fun to read. I absolutely loved and laughed out loud at apostropheliac's dreams! Haha

[Frieda P]

Thanks Anne, I'm still laughing at this song...haha

[Lyn Anderson]

A poem, just for me? LOL -- only one question, because in a piece like this it is difficult to discern the intentional from the unintentional, did you intend to switch from present to past in one sentence as in "we all take a stanza before we all fell down?" or did you want to say fall?

[Frieda P]

HA I had to leave something for you to correct, what would you have done otherwise...NO you brat, I meant fall! ;-P Laughing here, you're such a pain in my tushus ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Now that, my friend, just made me laugh like hell, did I say it sweetly enough, darlin?

[Frieda P]

I've got the blues now...I ain't nothing without you, objectify me hahaha
Yes dahlin' you were sweet as a bee sting. ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

ha ha, and I even left no apostrophe on the end of darlin', hoping you would notice:)

[Frieda P]

If I take your job from you, what are you gonna do? ha

[Lyn Anderson]

true enough. But thanks for this poem. I was feeling a bit blue.:)

[Frieda P]

Ha you too eh? Is is all good now commando chief? ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Much better.:)

Great, great write Frieda. You jest, but a grammar call-out is the best kind of review if you ask me. I had a poem get more than 500 views until someone pointed out that I had made a very clumsy mistake. I just didn't see it.

I will give you a 100 dangling participles typing on the keyboard. They are very talented dangling participles.

[Frieda P]

I concur Pryde, I've done it many times, I'll miss it but the apostrophe assault guard always finds mine...ha, shout out to KL! Thanks so much....

[David Scott]

I am shaking my head wondering what goes through teacher's minds... bless them all... ha.
Thank you for the laugh. :)
You cray cray girl!

[Frieda P]

Ha ha who knows, I hardly recall any of this stuff...yep cray cray keeps me sane ;-) MWAH!

[Scott Metro]

Dangle your participle and the cat will get it...
Clever ditty Frieda...
The punctuation police gonna bust you...
Well done.
Scotty

[Frieda P]

Ha I'm counting on it...good thing I don't have a puddy tat. ;-)

[Scott Metro]

Oh...they're around...lol

[Frieda P]

I'll sic one of my dark poems on them, they'll be hanging off the ceiling haha

[Scott Metro]

Yep....that'll keep 'em dizzy..

[Frieda P]

It does me............

[Scott Metro]
