Great reasons why a person is not perfect.
Good job. Well done!

This is a good entry into the "I'm not perfect" contest. The text is a great size. The message is clearly stated. It could be easily written by me. It's one of the reasons I don't write rhyming poetry. I feel your message is probably more a tongue in cheek poke at your rhyming skills. You seem to be doing okay here. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

I am out of sixes, but this poem made me giggle out loud. I like rhyming poems, and this one has a rhyming scheme. It also has a nice meter. I love poems that I can sing to inside my head! The topic is also about writing, which... whaddya know!... is one of my favorite topics! LOL!

I enjoyed your humor in your poem and there is a time and place to be just a rhymester instead of an artistic poet! And no one poet or other, can be perfect so you met this contest theme perfectly! Best wishes in it!

    Your review made me laugh too - many thanks for your encouraging words and good wishes. It was a delicate balance between being a reasonable contest entry and the theme being believable. Lol. It was the best I can do but I have been assured that my metre is still "off", as always. Thank you again. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year to you too!

I quite like your poem and I think you managed all those things very well. It's clever and funny and I got a giggle out of it. Good luck in the contest and Happy New Year.

    Thank you very much Mary. I had fun here too. I always try my best which is of course always imperfect, but here it seemed in my interests to be imperfect, yet of course it?s in a contest! Lol.

A different spin on a personal shortcoming as seen your own eyes.

Though you state you are no poet you stress probably one of the biggest truths about writing when you say "I still have fun."

In your Notes way to stick to your guns about not changing the rhyme scheme just to garnish votes.

    Thank you Brett. (One reviewer said he would consider giving his vote if I changed from AABB as he doesn?t like that rhyme scheme. And marked me down!) I think he missed the point. I can?t always please others or even anyone, so I write what I want how I want, until I am happy with it myself.

This poem is good at describing what is wrong with the person's poetry but doing most of it correctly! I like the idea behind it and the rhyming is good. I'll admit that the rhythm is a bit off in places but it is supposed to show how 'bad' the person's poetry is so that should go without saying.
Good luck with it

    Thank you Celyn. Great review. I am going to use the excuse that I tried to make my poem bad enough to fit my theme, and yet hopefully good enough to earn a place. Now that is indeed a delicate balance. Lol.

Anyone who writes herein has the qualities self-described if they truly give thought to writing day after day endlessly on such a site as FanStory. I wonder why the S is capitalized.

The author's words made me laugh and smile throughout the read of
this poem and even in the author's notes. The poem flows and connects
well. And I found that these words saying "I just want to be Me"! The
artwork is awesome and compliments the words of this poem.

    Thank you Harmony. Your review is greatly encouraging. It?s hard to publicly expose one?s shortcomings, although, in my case, of course, they are "easy to see"! Lol. Glad you enjoyed reading what I had fun writing.
