Limericks / Just Because

Sometimes when I scream I rhyme.
I don’t care if it delivers on time.
The message I’m sending,
is one I’m defending.
I’m letting go of the pain that’s inside.

It’s my soapbox for letting of steam.
It reminds me that “I have a dream”
That I have a voice! That I have a say!
That I have a right to do things my way!
And I’m content with the overall theme.

So critique to your heart’s content
Punctuation…grammar…intent…
I welcome it all,
The good and the gall,
But I’m really just here to vent…

Center stanza has very long lines but make a good point. I enjoyed this limerick/rant to the fullest extent. I have the same feelings.

OK, since you asked for it: “Letting of steam” should be “letting OFF steam”, right? Three exclamation marks in a row (voice! say! way!) hurts the flow when reading it the first time. It makes you work too hard to keep the meter. The first and last paragraphs work well overall, but the second leaves a little to be desired. Still this is a good effort. Your point is well taken. And I guess it could be considered “fun” , so good job.

I LOVE this and everything you wrote.  It provides a good hearty smile because of it’s wit.  It should be your User page’s description.  It’s great everything about it.

Haha I really loved this.
The best I have read so far!
Second stanza? verse?, first line, the “of” ought to be “off” a mistake I make far too often, but to be honest I only saw it the second time I read this.
Well done this is quite impressive!

I like this very much.  Easy to read, funny, and well put.  Just one correction, ‘off steam’.  Nice work.  Thanks for sharing.

“letting of steam. ”...off steam

And writing is one of the best ways to vent!  : )

Whether you want the critique, I’m not sure, but the rhyme scheme is perfect, but the feet per line for limericks is off.

Keep writing!  It’s definitely cathartic!
