Comment from ravenblack
I am poetic compulsion- sometimes a gift, sometimes as crippling as obssessive compulsive disorder. I see inside what others deem closed- that deeper vision that always seems to stick a crowbar in things. And there is no cure (not writing is far, far worse).

I liked the premise of this poem. It follows the requirements for the writing task. It does not flow as freely, to me, as your other poems have in the past. At some points "I laugh so I'll seek one more scheme
I worry it's on air that you lean I dream of the perfect life's theme" seems a little disjointed. I do like the poem, tho.

This poem follows the format and reveals the poet who cannot help but respond to life, whether positively or negatively, in verse.

Goodness, Roy, I hope I'm not a prophet! Hahaha. This was a strange format. I was pretty pleased where it took me. I did pretty well, but I wasn't the only one that came up with a good entry. Some great pieces in this one. The winner was an amazing poem considering the format. Thanks for the kind words, mikey

As with almost I have ever read of yours,
unique, flowing, words that pirouette down
the screen in thoughts artistically crafted
that makes one pause and look around, and
then actually spend a moment to think.
And to think that you have accomplished this
within the confines of the words that you had
to use.
Well done and good luck

This is the first "who are you" I've read so far, Michael. I think you've really done a great job. I very much like your observations about what you see as a poet.
Your poem's rhyme looks right on, and it has a nice flow. I like the repetition of "I wonder."
Good luck in the contest. Alana

I'm back! Not surprised you got my first 6. I don't know how this could be improved, really. You have followed the format exactly, and have also said something unique and thought-provoking about yourself as a person and a poet. If this is a typical example, I really think your already considerable skills have improved while I've been away. This has to be a very strong contender in this contest.

Hi! This was really fun. I saw the strange format and it looked challenging. Something like this often takes one in unusual directions. Delighted you enjoyed this. Some other excellent entries in this as well. Thank you kindly, mikey
Comment from JM
You are indeed poetry in motion and I do like your words. You did a fine job with the given structure and it must have been a task to describe so many feelings so very well. This is why you are "poetic compulsion".
