I must keep a traditional beat… Step with carefully measured small feet. Are you counting along To my limerick song? If I change the structure, is that not also a punchline? Will it make you a little surprised? "Break with format"... so very unwise! This isn’t just a con. I’m not putting you on! Intentionally messing up the poem is called an “anti-limerick”. Look it up.

Wikipedia says it’s a type Of a limerick… not just some hype! Don’t believe me? That’s fine. There’s no reason to whine! It’s not my fault that you can’t look it up yourself.

Attempting Haiku What profound words should I use? Alas – Senryu. Frustrating Haiku! Attempting abstract journey... Just more Senryu. Haiku ambitions - Listening for tree to fall... No sound - I’m not there. How about trying Words like "cerulean blue"... Would that make Haiku? Ambitious Haiku! Bit off more than I could chew! Just more Senryu. What more should I do? Oh this difficult Haiku! Senryu, let me free! Try one more Haiku - Maybe this time it might work... What says, Senryu? Roses red ...

Quit preaching to me about meter. It won’t make my poem much sweeter. You count out, “one two THREE” And my stress aint on “THREE”… If it’s effed up, I did it on purpose!

Confused only has one "s". "all screwed up" is an expression that might feel better in quotes. I'm not sure what you meant by "compotion". Compassion maybe(?) I like where this poem is going, but there are some grammatical issues that need to be worked out.
Poetry / All From You
hmmm... my only criticism would be that I think "and in the middle with a part." feels long compared to the other lines. Otherwise, your rhyming and cadence seems good. Can a knife "stagger"?
Criticism / The New Migration
First of all, you have entirely too many goals with this piece. You should narrow this down to only a few of these goals, as many of them are only slight variations on each other. You also have a few spelling problems that need to be addressed before agents or publishers will look at your piece. Second, I am not sure that this is a true "criticism" piece as it lacks any information that you have cited to back it up. We have "the great migration", and city names like Detroit and Chicago, but y...
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Claire_D On Flirters
While I find your piece, as usual, quite hilarious... I am troubled by your views on people who flirt. While I myself, have thrust that whole act of meeting new members of the opposite sex and hoping for something more, that doesn't embitter me towards the female gender in general... well... let me be more specific... I have resisted my jaded urges in that direction and tried to remain neutral. I do like the part about bozo costumes and football uniforms. I am not sure what "superiority" you ...
the only part I don't like is the "spoken so wryly". I'm just wondering of the word "so" is completely necessary. It kind of screws up the meter and it reads better without it. Clever otherwise.
