Good work fitting an internal rhyme into a nine-word poem. It does make me a bit frustrated that I must submit 150 characters to offer you a review. Which is why I'll say it's SSSSSSSSSSSSuper!

    when my thoughts end I walk my keyboard as I once did in the Yellow Pages, but alas they are no more.
    I can sincerely appreciate the time you gave me in reading the library "Thoughts of a Demented Mind." I can assume it was somewhat enjoyable. THANK YOU.

    I hope you got that impression! I wouldn't have stayed if they weren't!

I like short pieces, but one liners are too short. I agree with your peeve. The picture is great, we can program the selfies to delay taking a picture, is that how you did it? Good luck in the contest.

    And yet it was my second one liner this week the other being I love you more today than yesterday and will love you more tomorrow than today

Good entry for the Monostitch writing prompt. I was going to write one but the rules got me confused. I think I need more blood in my brain. Good luck

    I have a pint to spare but how do we complete the transfusion?
    Thanks for following up on my prompt. :-]

I laughed aloud at this monostitch poem. This is probably my favorite of these I've read so far. Give in to that itch and write more! LOL. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    Sweeter than a cube of sugar, I don't know how you don't disolve. In short, I'm glad you haven't. You are too kind, but don't stop being that way.

Congratulations you have written a monostich, it has a title two words; all good so far. Is it philosophical? Is it relating or devoted to the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence? Not sure it meets that criteria.
Love the photograph so you get an extra point for that.

    How much knowledge, reality and existence can be in a one line poem that fits below a picture for a FanStory release? :=( :-{
    From my point of view, "I nailed it." :-) :-]
    R.S. Poet - thinks well of it too, I think. "The challenge is, can one say all with just one line."
    Whatever!
    Thanks for the critique.

    I do have a little insite into this competition, since I am the one who set it. I don't get to be a referee, though so you might be all right. My question was never about quality just theme.

    I wasn't barking (complaining). Simply conversing. Thanks for the feedback.

    No. I forgot to say I had created the contest so probably came over completely wrongly.

This monostich poem, A Dilemma, has the proper formatting and makes the statement that getting the creative juices flowing requires a channel to send them.

    All of that in nine words? And here I thought it was a cryptic, short way for gaining knowledge, clarifying reality, and extolling existence.

Lol! It's almost a meme for those who understand the one liner. A tee shirt or fridge magnet would sell. You think? I wish the reviews were restricted such.

    Hmm. Feel free to explore whether it would or not. I'd expect a small tribute if it does, say a penny for each one sold. Maybe, it would be popular in sewing stores. :-O Get it? Mono-stich?
    Have you read me previously, and is Eean a variant of Ian?
    Thank you.
reply by EeanBlack on 20-Apr-2024
    I do get the mono-stich joke or reference. No I had not read you prior to this. Yes to the name. To the penny, dang poets are greedy. I know, it's time to stop starving for your art.

This is an excellent monostich poem for the contest.
The challenge is, can one say all with just one line.
Perhaps you've proven one can.
Nicely done.
Good luck on the contest.

    and someone else question whether it had knowledge, reality and knowledge within it. I answered, that is asking alot for a nine word poem. Thanks for the comment.

    Thanks.
    Who would have me give a six star review on a nine word poem. IDK but you did and I appreciate it, so much so, that I might entertain the thought of writing another short poem, but I doubt it!

    You are very welcome, and I appreciate your reply! If you win the contest, you might change your mind!!

I'd never heard of a monostich poem prior to seeing it on here.
I think you have grasped the bull by the horns here though.
You've managed an internal rhyme and a subliminal message to boot!
