I'm Doing Well
A Paradelle Poem31 total reviews
Comment from JT traveller
An enjoyable read but I am struggling to come to terms with the poems repetitive technique.
"I curled up in comfy chair"
To me, as I stated previously, I do not have an understanding of this type of poetry, however the grammar seems off.
I am very open to education about this topic.
An enjoyable read nonetheless.

The poet who originated this did for a joke, as I put in my author notes. His was completely ungrammatical. Look up poet laureate Billy Collins. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for the tip. I shall look up Billy Collins today. Unfortunately for our country, I don't believe Australia has ever had a poet laureate. Jacqueline

Everyone seems to be doing this type of poetry today. You've done a great job with it. I will say I hope this kind of poetry doesn't become that popular because for some reason, I find repetition irritating. It's probably just me, but I certainly think everyone should write one at least once.

I do, too. Mostly, I wanted to support the contest sponsor. I won't be doing another one. I don't think I will.

This paradelle form of poetry I think is best suited when written for children.
None the less, you followed the format as specified and posted a fine poem.
Thank you and good luck in the contest.

Good poem and it flows well. I enjoyed reading it . This is the fury time that I have read this style. Your poem is well written. Just a suggestion, maybe try using the word my before comfy chair. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

I had no idea how to write something good for this contest - but you have done it in a light and interesting way. it's certainly very different as a format - but yours is the best I have read so far. Well done. Best wishes for your entry.

Comment from Pantygynt
The form was created as a practical joke presumably targeted at the form for forms sake movement. What you have done here is to back the idea up showing how stupid formal considerations can be if taken to extremes. I do hope this nonsense doesn't catch on. Lol.

Comment from lyenochka
I like how you synthesized everything in that final stanza. The first ones with the repetitions show the narrator's reluctance in getting up from the comfy chair. The final verse makes it seem that the narrator did finally get up and the motivation seems to be because others have cared about her and have interest in her new book. Great job with this form!

You're a good friend! I don't mind if it's just one line that is repeated but so many doesn't really help to express something well.
Comment from pome lover
well, of course, I give you a five for following the, um, rules for that type poem. However, I can't , in all honesty, or even a little bit, say I liked it. I can see why it was meant to be a joke. However, I will say, truthfully, you followed the format and added a humorous twist at the end; so good job.
