DATE APPLICATION

Please think of this as an application
For a situation
Whereas there becomes a designation
Of a relation
Between myself
And the lady
Interested in the presentation
Of this litigation
She and me
Or rather her and I
Would imply to try
At making
Or at least attempt an investigation
Into the implication
Of the state of dating
Not to expect any situation of mating
That would require the necessary desire
To enquire into another enquiry
Of the situation of our relation
I do believe
Indoubidably
That is proper to begin this at the begining
Not to assume at all that it has a finishing
Am I clear?
Or is the logic of my inquisition diminishing
Well the long and the short
Rather
The short and the long of all my going on
Is perhaps maybe
On Saturday
You might like to date me
I could be wrong
Please tell me
So as I can pull my foot
From the roof of my mouth
Where it's caught on my tooth
And move on
Are we on?

An unusual style in all three of these poems. I can't say that I like it but it reminds me of something I can't put a finger on right now. I immediately see 3 main problems. The rhyme seems to absolutely control the poem. I come away with the feeling that it was the only reason for writing. The whole style makes me read so fast that long before I get to the end, I find myself completely out of breath. Finally, There really seems to be no substance other than the rhyming tricks. Sorry for the negative impression and t may just be me. Let's see what others have to say.

This is the type of poem that would get an appreciative laugh at a reading. Check back on your spelling, but otherwise, I'd love to crack open the book and crack a smile at this one's inclusion.

The rhyme forced me to read the poem quite rapidly...was that what you intended?  the style was interesting, very unique.  could you consider breaking up the rhythm with some non-rhyming lines?  when i finished the poem, i just felt as though i had run a race.  it was hard to dwell on any part of your poem...  all in all, while not my style, very interesting.

(sigh) With the rhyme the poem is indeed fast-paced but I am not worried about that here, just a few spelling corrections is necessary and then this is suitable for anything! (big hugggssssss) You have my vote, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I thoroughly enjoyed... the fast pace just reflects the way life sometimes seems to be a bit out of control. *S*

This reads like it would be an excellent rap song.  Made me smile, I like it!

Wow, this reminds me a little bit of my style in a few of my poems...like a rap song.  I didn't really intend them that way, but the rythum just happened.  nice job.  Sometimes it IS all about the rhymes and anyone who says otherwise can go well, u know... *ha* just kidding about that.  Nice job!
