The Speed Of Poetry
A Sonnet On How Fast Poetry Is Produced On Vocal
This is a poem about how fast poems appear in the Vocal Poets community, mainly due to the fact that there is a hundred-word minimum and poems do not have to follow a defined format so here are my poetic observations on

From Every Poets Pen

I had written and published it

Now My Poem Was Out Of Sight
So No One My Poem Would See

Creators Create So Quickly
They Are All Much Faster Than Me

Nice 👍
Insightful poem. It is true how many poems are published on vocal. Every second it seems there is a new poem. But you really think they're all faster than you? I would kind of think it's the opposite that you are faster than all of them! 😀
Thank you. I can relate!💕😉
The line, "They are all much faster than me" resonates with me so much. I feel like such a slacker or slow poke with how quickly I put out new material. But you gotta go at your own pace, I guess. Great work and very creative idea :)
I guess this is what they mean by 'time stops for no one'. People would always overtake us. We just gotta keep up. Very well written poem!
Made me smile - sometimes words flow, sometimes it's hard, but people have a lot to say! 🤗
Well stated!!! Loving it💖💕
You're right, sometimes they just flow out. Well said.
