Having a Poetry Breakdown
by Sydney Saltaire

Do you want to learn how to write poetry!?
All you need is "1 2 3!."

Having a Poetry Breakdown!?
Come and visit their fair town!.

Do you need some extra cash!?
Win a Contest, you'll do the Monster Mash!.

Do you need poetic advice!?
They'll make your poems sound so nice!.

The only problem is you must
Never, ever use the word 'just!."

Visit once and you will see
How great your poems soon will be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

With thee; but, sir, so what I plead is just!."

It is always what we experience that enhances what we learn
I think the sight you have seen comes from someone I have seen
hiding behind definitions sounds JUST about right
I have to agree with Neon, Monster Mash is accepted and not JUST!?!

nice write this--shows you don't get poetry from reading a book, or web site as the case may be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dear Friend,

Poetry is not something which can be learnt!.

Awake your hidden potentials and confront the world head on!.

In the process you will achieve something spectacular and the world will sing praises for you in poetic forms and if you fail you will become
a poet your self!.

I shall visit Hotwire and book a reservation in the near future!. I appreciate the suggestion very much and will endeavor to follow it in coming days!.

And do we mean "just" as a modifier or a transitional word!? I am always confused by these things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

shashi and yjnt both need lessons in life, neither will ever know anything about poetry because they don't think there is anything to learn!. For 52 years I have been writing poetry, albeit most was pretty bad, and even now most is JUST barely passable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have learned much on that site, and I have it on good authority the meter in my sonnets has really improved!. They have a good editor there, and people who really do help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm in trouble!. I use just in my everyday speech frequently!. I just can't help myself!.

I know nothing about writing poetry!. I just write (and torture my poor, dear friends)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I enjoyed this!.
Hey Green, Sounds like Debra Harry!. She was the first one to sing a rap song!.

I drive the cars they have on Mars,
and go to bars to hear guitars,
outer spaces, inner places,
far out there among the stars!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A double standard you endorse! Ban the word 'just' but you are allowed to use 'Monster Mash'! That is 'just' not right on so many levels! I will have to go and protest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I need not justify my answer
In a just society justice is tantamount to civilization!.
It is quite unjust to say you cannot use just even in jest!.!.!.I protest !!Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you feel that way, your brain is overloaded with ideas/images!. compartmentalize and focus on one thing at a time!.!.!.ONE!!!

Good Morning!!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hm!. I seem to see the initials "EP" hiding behind those of "SS"!. (How appropriate!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds like you are good to go
If you wrote a poem for every web site,
You will have billions of poems showcaseWww@QuestionHome@Com

I believe you are justified in your campaign against "just"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounds like you're the one who needs 'poetic advice !'Www@QuestionHome@Com
