How funny. I know what you mean. You think your work is going to win votes and then you read what work won and it makes you scratch your head in wonder. Wonder when? That is the question. I like this piece and the artwork is charming.
Good read. Keep the faith.

This is just absolute nonsense, so you fulfilled the prompt nicely. There is some rhyming, and obviously you had fun and made the poem humorous. It looks like a winner to me, so I hope that you get a sensible win for nonsensical nonsense. :)

Thanks so much for your review, and you are right I did have fun in writing this poem and hoped that all would enjoy the humor in this poem. LOL -

Good

Interesting and humorous. The graphic is complimentary to the topic

The mention of getting a win is what made me feel that this poem was less than excellent, to be honest.

I think potential is there for a really funny piece other than that.

I feel your pain about not winning any contests. I have won one and not a one since. I resign myself to hoping for at least one vote. Heavy sigh... I like your nonsense poem. Best wishes to you in this contest :)

Thanks so much for your review, I feel that everyone should at least get one vote in a contest whether they win or not.

Good use of rhyming couplets
I especially like the pairing of portfolio/ready to go :-)
You convey a nonsense mood well in the opening lines by informing us what your poem is NOT about LOL
Good visual and humor in the idea of shipping a Fanstorian to the moon for not getting contest wins/votes LOL

One hopes you had to work hard at constructing this noonsense poem, pharp. It is indeed nonsense, and it does indeed rhyme. And we'd all like a win - or at least one vote. Hope it works for you! :) nancy

Nancy, actually I didn't work hard at constructing this poem at all, I guess that is why it is nonsense. Thanks so much for your kind review and rating. Blessings and LOL - Portia

Comment from Earl of Oxford

Excellent

I'm all for fun in poetry, but most of the fun here seems to be directed at gaining votes in a narror FS media.

The general poetry appeal is very small, and, as you say, there is no meter - not to be proud of IMO, when meter is so easy to master and elevates rhymed poetry do much.
I always give at least 5 stars, though I think, with respect, you need to aim for much higher horizons.

Best wishes, Ray

Thanks for your gracious reply. I'm so pleased my honest (though perhaps inaccurate observations), meant in good will and certainly not to sound smart-arsed or cruel, were so well received. :-) x
