Writing Everyday

The owner of this site requested

That each member guest

 "Reply from home,

How long is it since you wrote a poem?”

Thus, I answer with this if not gem, creme de la creme,

This dime-store ode, oversimplified 

In black and white:

I write both day and night,

Honing craft and new idea.

So there! My answer!  

As for quiz's rest, the answers this:

I do not read nor buy, do not compare;

All I do is write and share

With tear or cheer - sometimes despair,

Observing worlds inside and out.

I do not mind the corny couplet,

Admire, seek exciting verbs

But try to minimise the adjective; 

Love conjunctions, knowing they can be a crutch;

But seek to use them not-too-much.

(they are so tempting).

So, kevin@allpoetry, in hope this bit of poesy

Is quite enough to more than amply satisfy

The little guest-test-quest

I rest my case.
