Wow. by Black Narcissus at All poetry

Wow, I am so blessed, this poem is the best
let me kneel and praise your every line.
Shakespeare can't compare, he really would despair
I wish these lovely words could now be mine.

Really it's so good, I wonder if I could
buy it from you , yes I have the bucks.
I'll send it what the heck, a million dollar cheque
forget the fact the others say it sucks.

That is what we all wish to hear. "You will be in print, your words will be immortal." It is our way of living beyond the bounds of this mortal shell. Well, we like to imagine that anyway. Frankly, after I am gone, I suppose what people think of my poetry just won't matter to me that much.

I love the pattern of your internal rhyme . . . a lesser poet (like myself) would have been tempted to break the lines with the rhymes . . . leading to very sort lines. I also enjoy the tongue-in-cheek humor . . . which has a grain (or more) of truth to it . . . as does all good humor.

Very well done.

A "whole package" review
Love it! From the title on down, this is the kind of comment I would want! Starting with "I am so blessed..." to "let me kneel and praise each line", I was smiling ear to ear. "Shakespeare can't compare" was the icing on the cake, but, hands down, I've got to hand it to you for imagination with the "million dollar cheque". So you've got the whole package here for a dream review---the reader worships your writing, it's better than Shakespeare, and you get a million dollars! Thanks for entering, I am so going to love judging this contest! Oh, I forgot to mention it was an extra special touch to make it rhyme!

But... but... wait a minute here!
Why do you need to hear that when you just got a wallet for Christmas
that has an unlimited supply of money in it, so what is the need to hear
you poetry is worth a million dollars? Seems to me that money would have
no bearing to you anymore, I would think you would wish to hear something of more stature like... um I don't know... okay, you win... I can't think of anything either... roflmbo

Okay, here's the deal... since everyone is now going to be sending you million
dollar checks, I don't think you will need that nice new wallet that santa just gave you. Soooooo, what I am thinking is you will need to find it a new home
shortly. Well I know just the place for it. I know this lady who has a spare room
set up just for orphaned wallets with an endless supply of money. I promise you
that she will tend to it properly. Just think about it and let me know okay?

Loved your poem dear and to be honest, some of your writes are worth far more, but sadly I couldn't pay a million pennies for any of them so I am ever so thankful they are afforded to me for free.

Best of luck to you in the contest hun.

Hugs,

  I'm not really greedy but the wallet won't arrive till Christmas. The million dollar cheque is just to tide me over, once the wallet is in my possession I will send you what is left of the million dollars.
  
  Merry Xmas in advance
