On the other pages in this section, we suggest subject matter. On THIS page, any topic will do (as long as it doesn't rhyme).
Naturally, we still need to keep it clean, but other than that.... I've mentioned elsewhere that free verse of any sort is not exactly my strong suit. My wife, on the other hand, considers free verse the ONLY worthwhile poetry form.
Different strokes.
So I asked her if she'd contribute one of her poems, and she said okay, as long as it went with the beautiful Gerry Legere photo you see here (click on photo to see more).
They call me little butterfly
I'm proud of who I am
I live on flower nectar
And help to pollinate
I earn my way in Nature's world
Not like those redneck moths
That eat up humans' clothes
Those mothballs serve them right
For living inside walls
Not bad, huh? Of course I'm biased; she IS my beloved little redheaded wife but--not bad! Do feel free to send us one of your own.
If you enter a humorous free verse poem on any topic in the form above, here is what we will do in return:
1. Read it very carefully and with respect.
2. If it is clean and humorous, I will publish it on a special poetic-humor Contributions Page for a minimum of three months. (To see how that works, click on the Contributions button, then on any Name Link shown on that page.)
3. If your creation does not quite fit our website, we will let you know AND let you know why.
4. IF you want no-charge mentoring, I will personally suggest possible amendments (I don’t say “improvements” because often it’s simply a matter of taste, not quality.).
5. If you choose, you amend and resubmit as many times as you like.
A point about copyright: You retain all rights to the material you submit with one exception: Poetic-humor.com receives the right to publish said material on this website for a period not to exceed one year.
A point about copyright: You further certify that any and all poems you submit are your original creation(s) and that you hold us harmless from any legal action should such not be the case.
