I wrote a poem "Earth Everyday [182.35]"

thinking about you before I realized it was your anniversary. Good timing?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

In response to "Tramping"

A wonderful summary of what made Chaplin, and his famous 'Tramp', such an icon.

Thanks for joining in the celebration of Chaplin's 136th birthday!

In response to ""MADNESS OF MARCH""

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE POEM

This is an acrostic poem with a festivals theme.

WHAT I LIKED

I liked the accompanying video. It helped to frame the poem for me so I had more context and understanding.

STRUCTURE

This is an acrostic poem that used "MADNESS OF MARCH." From Websters: a composition usually in verse in which sets of letters (such as the initial or final letters of the lines) taken in order form a word or phrase or a regular sequence of letters of the alphabet

The poem caught the excitement and fun of the video.

MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to highlight the beginning letters.

DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "Magical, Mundane, Mysterious, Magnificent," All descriptions in and of themselves, but what visual descriptions and they evoke a lot of emotion from interesting, daring, exhilarating and even a yawn.

In response to "She could text"

Such a sweet little short story; I'm sure the judge had a really difficult time choosing the winner for that edition of "The Writer's Cramp - Poetry Week"

. Choosing to live alone is one thing, but also having to endure all the memories and recurring events by yourself is tough.

In response to "Stay True to Yourself"

Hi Sonali

I'm offering these comments on Stay True to Yourself, a fabulous little verse in both senses of the word, which you posted on I Write.

It was a joy for me to savour these words of wisdom, delivered in the indisputably authentic voice of the feathered sage of fable him (or her) self. The rhymes and rhythms are direct and simple, befitting the message they convey and I particularly appreciated your signature touch - 'whooo' - which told me this could only be the work of one poet.

Much enjoyed, as ever, and I wish you success in the contest!

Best regards
dee

In response to "Masculine and Feminine Energies"

An apple a day.... - thank you! We spent 4 hours together, the seven of us, in the park under the trees. It was intense but great fun.

Love Lost, Peace Found?

105 words, 27 Lines
For "PromptMaster !"

Task Prompt:
Write a poem where you’re mad at irony because you don’t understand it.

It's crazy.
I don't know whether to be
happy or sad.
I'm confused.

He said I was the one
we got officially engaged
a big party ... happiness
down on his knees with a rose.

Wedding outfit, wedding hall
booked.
Honeymoon cottage booked
Pre-wedding traditional dances
planned
"Which flavour of ice-cream shall we serve?"

Then kaput.
Engagement broken for no apparent reason.

Sixteen years go by
I hear he has passed away
Had a brain tumour.

Ironic, isn't it?
My plight would've been a lot worse
He spared me
by ditching me

The thing is, irony
Now I don't know
whether to cry
or laugh.

Thanks Brooke - TP and Showering Acts of Joy for this image
