It was fun, it was foremost a woven red poodle
that frolicked then peed on the pole of my noodle;
I was confounded, I was confronted, I was deceived by your lies
then I believed them, then viewed life through your brazen replies;
Your canine incisors torn a hole in my heart,
you scratched, you dug until you tore it apart;
you buried your bone of contention in me
and now I'm corrupted beyond redemption because I read your poetry;
I hate you, I'll stab you if I ever find you out,
you've given me such heartache, I mope and I pout,
if I had a frying pan I'd hit you in the head
just to hear your 'ouch', or I'd kick you instead;
You're enlightening, you've uplifted the skirt of my life
you devil, I'd say 'no', but 'yes' I'd say twice;
what? you're a girl? then damn you three times
for having me think these were manly-made rhymes!

Biting Impact
This is an entirely different spin on a "best review". It begs the question of what kind of writer would want to be stabbed, hit by a frying pan on the head, and kicked. It would seem that your writing had "biting" impact on the reader with the "canine incisors" the reader experienced afterward. It is also a tad surprising that you would want your reader to be "corrupted beyond redemption" because of your poetry. So----this is an entirely different spin on a "best review"!
It is unique, I'll give you that. I actually thought by reading the entries in this contest that I might get a few hints about what I should say when I write reviews myself. I can honestly say, other than "you're enlightening", I never thought about writing any of the things you wrote in your review! I truly wonder what the name of the poem was and what it was about! Thank you for your unique perspective and for entering the contest.
