Five Common Mistakes That Novice Poets Make

[Castugi]

P.P.P.S. Challenge: Write a poem that includes all five.

Challenge accepted!

Your love is
memories of a whale's hips
singing praises beyond your lips
whilst (nod to ella) all the begets us is naught.
I've lost you in a dying sea
whilst I wondered in desert fought.

I shall die now, for there are signs
there is nothing left but sands of time.



PS I think I have written a wonderful poem!  Does that mean I've made it to 6?  I even included a couple of clichés....just to brighten it up!

I've finally found it, the greatest poem of all time. Comparable to the works of Goethe and Plath, Bena encompasses every trait of greatness. In a league of their own. Bravo!
