It is not worth it. Pull yourself out of your funk. Eat some chocolate, watch a comedy, go for a walk or a run--even if it is cold outside (especially if its cold outside) then write some more poems.

Don't do it. You need to stick around to write more poetry.

I think you are being oversensitive about it. pointing out a distraction is a lot different from slamming you.

Re: a comment on The blue light special. by Jeremi B. Handrinos |

Here's my point, if you don't keep to the form of a particular type of poem, then classify it as "freeform". The idea behind a poem following a certain style is the fact that the poet recognizes the constraints and used the constraints to free their creative process. Maintaining a form continues a tradition---and I'm all for doing your own thing--Don't get me wrong. But you can't call a tent a house just because you want to- to hell with an agreed upon format. Go ahead and do your own thing, expirement with rhyme schemes, etc., but doing so slips your poem into a different category. that is my point. your poems have ceased to be limericks as soon as they deviated from the traditional format. I do believe that you are capable of writing a limerick that meets the definition of one. These, however, are misclassified.

Limericks use the distinctive rhyming scheme of a-a-b-b-a, where the first two lines set the scene, the third and fourth lines quickly twist things about, and the fifth line hammers the conclusion. (first, second, and fifth lines are trimeter, third and fourth are dimeter).
as per the guidelines

Re: Little Tounge by Figure 8 |

what is a "tounge"? according to www.dictionary.com, the closest word is "lounge". but I guess if you are "licking" with it, perhaps it is a tongue. Even so, this "sing-song" thing here is of little merit.

sounds troubled--like a therapy poem. I hope you are feeling better, but you should keep therapy poems to yourself--too often thet sound exactly like this and come across as trite.
