Thanks again

Ouch!

Beautifully penned and quite humorous. There are the good and the bad and the ugly... and they are all part of our big beautiful family here at AP. Job well done! I didn't forget the clappy's this time. lol

Aha! Thank you. You are right, and I feel myself slipping down your scale. -
-
I don't think you are slipping down at all. I loved the piece very much and I have a great sense of humor.

No, I didn't mean this, which was only meant to amuse. I have just recently been writing about War-- the Great War, and poppies, and Iraq and Afghanistan. It goes against the grain with me-- I would rather be silly and frivolous, but I seem to keep churning them out, and, what is as bad, seem totally unable to edit them. It all seems so sad -- I don't know whether it is pointless or not, that is too easy to say, but I do know that the dead don't come back when it is all over, as in toy soldiers, and the maimed and the mad can suffer forever. Now, see, there I go! It won't cheer you up, so what is the point of it? It goes against my little idea of increasing the sum of human happiness, even by a nano-iota. Sorry. -

Well , I still love it so have a chuckle and get down to the serious business of being funny.......

condor
I am glad. But you must know that saying "Be funny!" is probably the only way to silence the most natural of comedians!

Aaagghh!!! You have wounded my writer's spirit to the core! Hahahaha.

Thank you so much. Not reallyt intended as a put down tho' ----but I expect you have seen enough of the kind of thing that inspired this!!!!

lol..im the dyslexic..uses too much text slang yhoghurt in the caps key girl.....I thought I inspired it haha

Ah so true! We see many of those here. The youth my friend, they got license to create their own language (which I understand very little of)
Another amusing way to show reality

Sir! I think your tongue was too firmly in your cheek when you wrote this
I agree that many of the offerings fall into the category you outline in line 1 and at times yes AP is the home of the trite.
Fortunately there are also gems as worthy of snuffling out as the famous truffles.

It was only intended as a gentle jibe -- I think I had had a particularly bad patch of having to fly from one young person's site to another. I agree there are 'gems', but I compare it rather to going to fringe theatre -- you have to trawl quite a bit of dross to get to something wonderful.

Or to put it another way Edward "You have to kiss an awful lot of frogs before you find a Princess"
At the risk of self-promotion this reminds me of one of my own offerings inspired by the AP "poets" http://allpoetry.com/poem/2082290
A little effort based on The Charge of the Light Brigade!

This made me chuckle and feel a little guilty that I often have exactly the same view point. I would say well written but I'm not sure that was the point.
-
Love it!!!
I have many of the same problems...spelling, writing, and many other problems but for the most part my life is perfect...just don't ask me to spell....Thank goodness for spell checker on the computer...
This is a cute and you have come to the right place for trite...there is much trite here on AP..along with some wonderous poems...Thank you for reading my poem "nothing profound"...it is one of the trite ones...

How nice to hear someone own up that 'for the most part my life is perfect'. Makes such a difference from all those people self-harming, with horrible mums and dads. I'm not being snooty; it just makes a nice change. And means I don't have to quickly move on.

Very funny and well written! AP has its own set of quirks!k
-
-
mgmc
Glad it made you smile! Yes, quirks....and how!
-
-
I find this has a poem which is honest and at
the same time humorous. Liked this little write
& thank you for the comment
-
-
Meena
Thank you. Glad you liked it
-
-
don't need to rite don't need to spel
nor even rime or scan
just brek it into littal lines
then call it potree man!
tee hee I can't do grammar either
-
-
A lot of people
are tempted to have a go themselves, and well done you! e
-
-
Hahahahahaha!
I got a good chuckle out of this one. The best humorous poem I've seen in a while. Well done!...Alby
-
Yes, I've found it takes some looking to find what is worth reading.
-
I'm afraid that's what is happening! Your piece gave me a laugh.
Let's try to make sure this doesn't happen in our small corners.

Thank you. I am glad it brought a smile to your face. When I wrote it, I was tempted to go on for pages like that - I am glad I did not.

It would be fun for a while to go on and on but I think you made the right decision. I wonder if there are "poets" out there who think it's serious and no kidding.

so tru so tru
insipid trite
inspire us here
from morn to nite
but still we rave
of what they rite
and so it goes
we praise we pose
captivated.
by rhyme and prose
but mostly,
we pleasure those
who beautify our life
-
-
Hahaha...too funny, but... "so tru so tru!"

ronnica
Excellent. Yours is a more generous spirit than mine.
-
-
Yes, I'm afraid that is partly true. I am afraid it's affected me to the extent that I don't always bother to correct people's grammar and spelling when I am holding a contest. As for trite...well, perhaps I am guilty of that myself sometimes.
Enjoyed this write.

It really was only intended as a gentle jibe. When I re-read what I have written, I am very frequently amazed by the errors which have slipped through.

This would have been smart
If you had written it as
A good Villanelle
Like that Thomas bloke
Who you alluded to in
The poem's title.
What do I know, eh?
I have replied with a crap
pointless chain haiku...
-
Very well said!
-
if only i cud rite this gud
if you look a little more
just behind the AP door
you'll find the masters of poetry
resting there for you to see
from D Thomas to R Tagore
you couldn't ask for any more
classic popetry you're looking for
go through , locate the OP door!

How true. Triteness, sentimentality and illiterate slop are to be found here by the cliché-laded bucket load. However, there are some genuinely talented and amusing writers here. Us for example.
-
-
Just a gentle jest....
I have just sent a long-winded put-down to this man/woman, without realising s/he had praised me. But I cannot encourage people to despise others, I cannot. I should certainly like to know who other people think are the best poets here. -
-
I am probably un-putdownable.
-
-
-
LOL, this gave me a good giggle just when I needed it! :]
Although, I do wonder should 'see' be changed to 'c' ...
-
Ah, they would never use the word, "emote." Now "rant," they would use that.
Well there are a lot of youngsters here. The art is avoiding them, lol -
HIS IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL
BRAVO MY FRIEND
-
You have made a statement here, and done it well. Bravo!!
