Idea

There's a lot of life in me at this time.
I'm on and shedding light around this place.
I'm responding to a contest of rhyme.
I'm running in a competitive race.

Just learned what personification means.
Also looked up different forms of sonnets.
Boy! I am hot and just throwing out beams.
For adults these are, no baby bonnets.

I, myself, the subject of this entry,
Do have to get this right cause it is I.
Got to be my best write of this century!
Did not know my wattage was this high!

I'm the idea for this very poem.
This light bulb is positively glowing!


Author notes

Going at Personification backwards (upside down)
I know this is weak, but it is more than nothing

    It is an outstanding composition, "Idea" sings by the shore, and goes around the fourteen beaches giving the readers an intellectual sun-tan.

    In respect and appreciation,

    I hope you got what they were looking for? I enjoyed the read and your writing seems to always be expanding in different directions. That is always a good feeling to let off a little creativity shot other than normal targets. Be well. RC

    This got me smiling. I liked the line about the baby bonnets and the high wattage. You always shine very brightly - its all that natural talent. This poem has great flow and a huge amount of originality.

    Actually ...

    I think it's quite well done. Weak is not even relevant. I can't say it will win the competition, as there could be many more entries that might challenge it, but it's a good job nonetheless.

    Your notes say this is weak? It's not weak at all! It's a fantastic sonnet! The sonnet is my favorite poetry form and this one is a delight to read. The rhyme is great, the meter wonderful and the image vivid. You placed the Volta perfectly at L9 and delivered a wonderful summation at the couplet.

    Love,
    Amera♥
