Shamelessly Spun

December 08, 2007 02:43 PM EST (Updated: February 27, 2008 06:32 PM EST)
views: 596 | comments: 154

There is a read
Might be my good deed
But you won't know, unless I plead

An attempt to find others, to go for the hook
So if you've been, don't bother to look
Eight will be ready, it's still with the cook

With humor and grace
You'll love the pace
Watch me grovel to make my case

A little of your time, I need to borrow
Read one today, another tomorrow
More to come, guaranteed with sorrow

Intrigue and adventure
Are thrown in for good measure
twas thinking of nothing but your reading pleasure

I might be right, I might be wrong
Judge for yourself, if you think it's strong
If you enjoy, then forward along

Before I started, this ditty was toast
Let the comments do the boast
Gather one and all from coast to coast

It is my goal, to provide some fun
For not just a few, but everyone
So without further ado, see what's been Spun

(Try the link, it's spun in color)

Thanks for the poem. Try to let your ideas guide the words and not the other way around. Focus on what to say rather than how to say it. Then let the subtext shape the surface.

This will keep you from making so many forced rhymes that interrupt the flow of ideas. Rhymes have no value in and of themselves. Better not to rhyme and be clear, real, and in touch with your emotions, instead.

This poem is cheerful, and I like the fact that it rhymes, but it seems the rhymes are there just to rhyme. Or at least they make the poem silly. But, it's a nice attempt on your part, and I think you should continue to try your hand at poetry. The more you write the better you will get.
