This Is Not A Limerick

Introduction

Another protest at the flood of short-form poems. This is not a dig at the poems but a suggestion to Vocal who could limit the number of entries into a challenge for any kind of submission. I believe some creators see the short-form poems as a sort of free lottery ticket. They are quick to create and get published and surely if you enter a hundred into the challenge you stand a better chance of winning.

I don't see any haiku, but so many limericks that I have just given up reading them.

So this is not a limerick.

The music is "When I Paint My Masterpiece", The Band's take on the Bob Dylan song because at some point we will get the recognition we deserve for the work that we believe is worthy.

I Could Have Written A Limerick

But Decided It Was A Gimmick

I Really Wanted To Be On It

So I Put Down Lines Of A Sonnet

I Could Have Written A Villanelle

But Mine Will Not Go Down Very Well

While I Know My Poems Push Limits

They've No Chance If They're Not Limericks

There Are So Many Forms We Could Try

But Short Format Are The Ones That Fly

They Be Written Quickly, That Is So

How They Are Judged, Nobody Does Know

Keep On Writing Vocal Creator

Your Boat'll Come In, Sooner Or Later
