A different hum within my drone
I somehow seek
Mundane to star and stand alone
as pen will leak
I have to work with cards I'm dealt
Which sometimes isn't smart or svelte
I've done the paddle up shit creek
in voice, unique

LOL I think i reached that when i first joined using words like sumset in poetry and flower of zinc, that no one has used in poetry. Everyone tells me you can't mix maths/science in poetry, I beg to differ and if it's a word, even if it's not found in the common dictuionary, I'm going to use it:)

Great poem reflecting being unique and different and adding your own spin on things, I say cheers to that me girl :))

Great job

LOVED IT

Regards
Tia

    Thanks darling girl.
    LOVED your review and you just keep mixing science, maths and floral into beautiful literary art...unique may NOT always gel with everybody...but they sure remember you later on. Haha
    Cheers and thanks again

A spring-time flood? A hard quicky, where it rains a few minutes and next thing you know the front porch furniture's sailing out past the gate post? You've set your goals, Phillippa, and I thinks that's the right mark to aim for. You'll be able to measure from the mark periodically to see your growth. You'll always know who you are and where you stand. I see a lot of parallels between our goals and I can only wish you all the best. You'll just keep getting better and your style will evolve as you ripen with experience. The octo. is a fun form to write to and I like your use of it--extensive use, and you've taken it another step and made it yours. Nice work. A bold and honest write. Kenny

    I'm not much of a thinker, P. I learn from doing--sometimes it's a long hard road. I learned first the meter, form, etc. but really am still trying to write a decent sonnet. You put your all into everything you write.

I found your poem unique just like you showed us how to reach that point. I agree that we get comfortable within our little box, but its true that expressing ourselves in different venues will broaden our horizons.
your write was very entertaining and it had me laughing in some spots, only because I know you better than I did, oh lets say, a week ago, which is an eternity in my books. LOL

excellent poem, borderline ranting. :o)

My only regret in rewarding you a sixer is that I won't have one for you for 30 days! And I know you'll write many pieces which will deserve one. This could be your bio or your theme song! It's so much YOU! It's such a bouncy write with great rhythm and always entertaining and funny! I love many parts of this superb mod-octo. I thought the 4th stanza was especially funny with: "And round these parts I'm quite well known for loony streak" which answers my age old question; "I wonder what it would be like to live next door to P" LOL Your poem is packed full of confidence and good advice for all of us. One of the great things about you is that in addition to your uniqueness, you're not just someone who out here posting only one type of poetry or one old theme. You have taken the time to learn and hone your skills with many different type of poetry and that makes you unique too. Thanks for my wakeup laugh!!
All the best!
Rodge

    LOL Well what a delightful regret that is then! LOL Your sixer review was awesome thanks Wazza and I enjoyed your honesty, and yep, you'd be one of the few who know my loony streak well.
    I can't stick with one subject, genre or format...novelty wears off REAL quick. LOL...to be honest I don't know how some here can keep churning out the same BS about the same BS subject. It gets real boring, real quick. Still, plenty like to buy their position...haha, more fool them and those deep deep pockets.
    You're one of a very unique handful here that I respect highly Rodge. Thanks for your support always and if I can make you laugh when you wake up, then I've done my job. LOL
    Cheers CPJ

I happen like unique, as a matter of fact we all share that common but overlooked fact that we all are unique in our one way. The lines flowed freely and kept me focused as to the topic. Good job.

    Indeed, you hit it on the head - we are all unique in some way. We just have to find our best angle and run with that even if it means a few fours now and again.
    Thanks for a beaut review.
    Cheers P

This deserves 6 stars because YOU are unique. I haven't been in here too long. Was here in 2011 but did not return.
I love what you wrote and YOU are unique. I try my hand at different styles of writing a lot as I like the contest challenges. Thanks for sharing---Peace
