Yard Sale

This poem I read and had to laugh..Where I live here in the south..All they do is yard sale..a house gets broken into and the next week end thae stuff stolen is in someones yard sale..Enjoyed the read..God bless..Valentine

You certainly have a unique style Randy, that's for sure. It reminded me of your work on the old site!

Perhaps you could add some more and make it prose. As poetry, I had some problems making it fit any traditional structure, but then, it's your work, and this is all very subjective and personal, as I see someone who gave you maximum ratings proves.

Keep reading other poems, look up "poetry" on Wikipedia, and above all, keep writing! Experience is the best way of learning!

Randy, I think you have a poet inside you but I would encourage you to buy or read a book that will let you know more about poetry meter, stresses, and form. Also read a book or two on contemporary poetry. These lines are too long and to eratic for me to be rescued by rhyme alone.
I'll save better marks for you as they will surely come with a better understanding of technique. I hope this doesn't offend as I've been there myself. You have a great subject for a poem here and should keep working away at it.

Best. Neil

This is a hilarious poem. We are planning on having a garage sale.

not my sort of read, but gave it a go, more listing of veiws than a poem to me, but of course this is only my opinion.I think it needed to be split up into smaller sentences.
