That's because I'm poetic precision walking on two legs, Darlin.

Why, I'm so smooth and on target that I---wuh------

no no... excuse me sir... I believe I did ...

I wrote my piece on word processor and it measured my words precisely at 1000 words...

So yes, I believe I did follow the rules.

-------------------------------------------------

Every one did great, ... too bad the competition was judged poorly,
but either way congratz to the winner,

and it's been fun writing my entry for this comp... though I deleted it for apparent reasons.

Including tags, places and dates which I consider as integral parts of my poems and that is why there are there, but excluding explanatory notes which I write as a courtesy to the reader my first poem "What Happens Now?" was 1210 words in length and my second one "A Deal With Alex" was 1022 words, so I was well on target with both contributions as the requirement was 1000 wards or more.
As for rhyming schemes, the first poem is starting with couplets (AA-BB) with style modulation to Terza Rima (AB-AB) and the second poem in Terza Rima throughout, so I was on target there too.
Spelling can be checked in a word processor.
Grammar… it is silly to ask from poets to be grammatical as poetry has its own grammatical rules which are not those of grammarians in most cases, but those of the context of each particular poem so I was on target there too.

For reasons similar to other contributors I have also deleted my entries declaring this competition a fiasko. (a ill conceived joke)
I am concerned about the integrity of the host and the safety of the poems,

mods, please keep an eye on him.

I can send any mod here a link to the same rap posted at another forum many years ago, where there actually is someone named Ranger Rick.

Kindly take your narcissism and be off with you.

Shoo.
