Excellent entry for the Monostich Poetry writing prompt contest. Your poem form is well done. I like the twist of finding problems with solutions it's true, I've known people like that. Good luck in the contest.

These are such wise words and there is no pleasing some people as no matter how much you try and help, it falls on deaf ears, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This is good (and so true!) maybe take out the word "negative" and use that as the title... then it flows into the first line... I'm not super familiar with this structure but from the description I read... doing that might slow it to flow a little better. Love the artwork. I love sitting in front of my bookshelves so I can relate with this entire piece!

This is really good! Simple, yet profound, and quite accurate to boot. I think the title could be tied more to the poem itself. It's about negativity, sure, but what can the title tell us about it? The title here, while true, doesn't elevate the poem. The poem would be equally good without it. With the monstitch, the title should play a crucial role in understanding the message of the poem. It's a small thing, and I still think this is a great little piece, nice work.

Yep, they sure do, and settled dust right after I do the dusting. A thought I recently entertained....

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest, mystery poet,

Ain't that the truth. Nice poem with some wisdom that we all know, but we sometimes can't seem to shake these kinds of people. The photo complements the piece well, as I'm imagining the woman as a negative person who is grinning at all the havoc she is causing (don't know if this is what you were going for).

Nice job!
