Hello :)
I really enjoyed your poem. I sniggered my way through it, recognising that I am probably guilty of writing some of the types of poems that irk!
Congratulations on winning the contest :)
Best wishes, Debra

Thank you for the great review, Debra. Yes, we're all guilty. Lol. I was just having some fun with the contest. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Comment from w.j.debi
I loved how you take us through 24 hours of Fanstory and the various themes of poetry and stories. Does it mean we are all too much alike?
I see you won the contests and I say, "Well deserved."

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the big six, WJD. I was just having some fun with contest. We all love writing about all these things. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great rest of your weekend. Thank you again.

Comment from Poetic Friend
You did not ruffle my feathers with your poem, but perhaps the feathers of other poets. I appreciate your advice.
Ironically, I just read an article in a literary magazine that speaks against submitting poems with these subjects to poetry contests. The article stated that poems with these subjects are unlikely to win poetry contests, unless the poet brings original/innovative and unique approaches to these subjects-- bring something new to the table. I attempt to do such when writing about these subjects. Sometimes I succeed. Further, the article stated if the poet wishes to write any of these things--all of which are perfectly worth writing-maybe don't send them into contests.
You certainly have given FanStorians food for thought with your poem.
Congratulations on your win! Well-deserved win, indeed!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and giant sixer, Poetic Friend. Yeah, I've never really read anywhere that it says don't enter things like these into contests but I can pretty well guess they wouldn't do very well. Lol. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars, PF. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend. Thank you again.

Comment from poetwatch
Well... of all the--- :) I guess you got most of everyone with your poem Dragonskulls. This controversy poem is one way to get away with telling everyone off and not be blamed. :) You're good my friend. This is an excellent entry for the Controversy poem contest.

Thank you for the fantastic review and huge sixer, Poetwatch. Yeah, it's rare I can get away with that through a contest. I couldn't pass it up. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again. Have a great night, PW.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem to ruffle the feathers of this poet who have written about all the topics you mention more than once and a few that you didn't mention, but always I find something unique to add to the subject in some way.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I loved this! You really took the prompt to heart and went all out for it. That is exactly what it was meant for. You have brought up just about everything that anyone can write about, that way you have cunningly made sure you haven't 'upset' just one group. I thought it was hilariously funny, and very well written. Well done and good luck! :)) Sandra xxx

Comment from Six-Star Writer
Well said. You've covered almost everything I don't like about this site. I've been blocked, warned, muted, insulted, patronized, ridiculed (guess that's really the same ass insulted), and told not participate in any of the forums. So I've been through it all here. That's why your poem resonated with me.

Thank you for the great review, Six Star. Wow, really? They say you can't even be in forums? That's as ridiculous as this dumb piece. Sorry to hear that, friend. That's crazy. I appreciate the generous stars, Six. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

Yeah, King Ens has spoken. I have been banished to the hinterlands.
Comment from Joy Graham
Well poor you, boo hoo. You met the contest requirements with flying colors. I guess I bore you with many of the subjects you listed. I wonder why the prompt spells it ruffel? Shouldn't it be ruffle? What do I know?
Best wishes in the contest.

Lol. Thank you for the great review, Joy. Yes, I would think it should be ruffle.
Comment from LisaMay
Are you sure you didn't initiate this prompt yourself??? It is so perfect for your piss-taking poetry. You've left no stone unturned to see what boring abomination crawled out.
I've just written about a car, so I am safe.
