What a hilarious entry for this contest. I won't even begin to critique this since it is all SUPPOSED to be incorrect. So my job is very easy. I'll just wish you good luck and say stay safe and healthy in these interesting times we find ourselves living in.

    Thanks. I'm glad you got it. A few didn't, and they missed all the fun.

This piece speaks to me about not being perfect when you write. It was a bit of a tongue twister as I read it aloud.

Good luck in the contest.

    It's supposed to be that way Mia. That's the point of the whole piece. It's a satire, a parody on not being perfect. The title, I hoped, would have made that clear.

Did you throw in the towel to go and have avowal movement? I hope your friends Tom, dick, and hairy enjoy your writing as much as I do. I suppose they are camping at the moment in their tense. I'm so pleased you flunked English.

    Good eye Lisa, I missed that. Well I didn't actually flunk English, an eraser in the head got my attention.
    When I didn't capitalize dick, spell check came through with that joke for me!

    You most certainly do! We gotta make fun of this complicated language now and then. There's so much material there.

Hello my friend

Great entry for the I Am Not Perfect contest. It's good to know yourself and accept all of you. Your poem is funny. Your shortcoming turned out to be a gift. Well done.

We all have flaws that we either work around, correct, or are still working on. Sometimes our flaws become our strength when we are not afraid of them. Good luck in the contest!

You made me smile with this clever write, and no one is perfect, even the most skilled poets make mistakes, even Shakespeare in his 154 sonnets, not all of them are perfect. But are we looking for perfection? No. We want to be amused and we want to think for ourselves and make up our own minds about what is good and bad in poetry. Your play on words here is both amusing and clever, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

    Wow, thanks Dolly, well said and thoughtful. Ogden Nash was a good example of parody in poetry, but its risky. I had one reader give me 3 stars for misspelled words. She just didn't get it.

    That?s a pity because I thought this was a gem of a write, love Dolly x

    Hi again Dolly. I actually thought I would come in dead last.

OMG.. you almost had me, up until the last line.. I was like.. WHAT?... very comical and entertaining. It put a smile on a somewhat dreary day.

    Wow, many thanks. So glad you got it. I had one reviewer not even read it, because I spelled the title wrong. Use parody it your own risk.

Well, it might have been a flaw then, but now you made good use of that, writing this funny little poem full of "errors" in this beautiful language! And I read it to the end too! Funny and a good entry for the contest. Good luck!
