Silly Me

I travelled once to the land of imagery
Where I bumped into a poe-tree
That fruits a tasting variety
Of alliteration and simile
I dunno, they fell on me
Ever since I scribble poetry.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?

Comments

on what we poets do. I'm not sure when I was first really attracted to poetry and thinking that I could do that! I like the way you brought our attention to [similes, alliteration and imagery] and the clever
poe-tree line. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Much appreciate your kind visit. I hoped that this would bring more traffic of poets telling how did they start their scrabbling.
Much appreciate it.

I would call it po-e-tree. you need the "eh" in poetry.
Keep scribbling!

Many thanks. In fact It's the tree thing that I was looking for rather than the transcription of the word, but I do appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

That same dang tree fell on me TWICE. Once about 50 years ago when I wrote my first poem. But my hard head didn't take the first hint so another treee was felled on me about 10 years ago when I promptly wrote my second poem lol. Enjoyed you light hearted but hardly silly poem........stan

thank you Stan. I'm happy to know that the poe-tree did its job quite perfectly hehehe.
Thanks for the kind visit. Much appreciate it!

This made me smile, a good indication it hit the spot - enjoyed your playfulness & the rhythm & articulation were great.

Beaute little poem from the Poe-tree!

I love this as it is... but wondered if you wanted it to have a neater rhythmic flow you could try these two last lines to keep the fit better?

"I travelled once to the land of imagery
Where I bumped into a poe-tree
That fruits a tasting variety
Of alliteration and simile"

I dunno how, they fell on me
Ever since I scribble poetry.

Just a thought xx

Cheers

I love it and the length is perfect. A very clever piece in which I love the imagery of the tree. This is a keeper! Thankyou

My pleasure to see you reading my little piece, and finding it clever adds to my pleasure.
Thank you
