A very clever take on this, mikey. Being a poetic compulsion give you a great to deal with the format. Poets always notice the tiny and the large of life.

I love the poem. I love poetic compulsion. It makes you write about a variety of things and emotions. You write about anger, you write about love, you write about most emotions. You write about people full of love, you write about people with not love. Great work. Good luck in the contest.

You were brave to try this with all the complicated rules, but you achieved excellent results. You do a wonderful job of completing each of the thoughts and give a lot of insight. This sounds like someone willing to explore alternative possibilities. I like your repetition of I wonder in relation to pretending its a cynical world. Great concluding couplet. Poetic compulsion at work. Excellent rhyme, and your words are well chosen. judi

A poem truly worthy of a six star, if only I had one. I love the scheme and the whole theme of the piece. You made this fun to read and made me rethink how a poet sees the world. Good luck with the contest, I have a feeling you'll do great.

They were very strange instructions and hard to follow. You have followed them to a "T"! You even made sense of it. You described me fully! LOL! Well done. Good luck in the contest. Nancy

You follow the contest's prescribed pattern of lines well
I like your choice of refrain line
good alliteration in wonder why and consonance in flag flying unfurled
thoughtful observations formatted well into this style

Wow. Wow. If i could use this whole page to just say wow I would. Absolutely fantastic. I would love to try this but it is like a tonguetwister and you dont want to know what happened then...not pretty. This followed all the rules as i can tell and it was true.
