Welcome to Litsy!

This book is complete trash. I have no idea how explaining what a metaphor is constitutes a prompt. The author doesn‘t seem to know the difference between red and pink. She starts out strong by including popular poems as examples, but a third of the way through, apparently there weren‘t anymore poems left, since she used only her own poems as examples. I will never be reading any of her poetry collections based on the rubbish in this book. 👇🏻

Because no one has ever heard of “Hickory Dickory Dock,” “Little Miss Muffet,” “Jack and Jill Went Up The Hill,” or even “There Was an Old Man from Nantucket,” we have to have this sappy... I don‘t even know what to call this. Was she drinking (as she suggested - liquid courage and all) when she wrote this?

Wow, it wasn‘t funny the first time, but she‘s really committed to this cultural stereotype. Maybe next she can write a poem about Irish twins, how Irish people are lazy, or how St. Patrick‘s Day is a white supremacist holiday (the internet is truly an idiotic place). (In the words of #AgnesBrowne - feckin egit!)

For feck sake!!! Yes, because, as we all know, NURSERY RHYMES are just terrifying beyond belief. That‘s why children aren‘t allowed to bloody well hear nursery rhymes.

I‘m not sure I trust someone who thinks something can be as red as bubblegum or as red as a flamingo. Pink is a totally different color. It‘s like saying emerald is a word for blue, or orange is a word for yellow (or red conceivably, which she didn‘t do, she gave orange it‘s only bloody column). Oy

*Sigh*... is she sure this is for adults? I‘ve never read (or even heard of) The Outsiders, but I hate it already. 🥃🥃🥃 #WhyIDontWritePoetry #ThisIsGoingBadly My ancestors are dying (again) with laughter at this BS. What does ANY of this have to do with writing poetry? (Yes, I saw that she turned her cutesy little thing into a poem in the middle, thanks. I don‘t think this is how my ancestors (or the modern Irish) learned to write poetry.

@CBee this is very loosely a quote from the book. The blue is mine in case you didn‘t guess that already. I didn‘t use any metaphors, so I think I failed this exercise. Uuum...yeah...I don‘t think I‘m getting any better at this poetry thing. I don‘t think I have EVER used the word “shall” in my life, either. Just putting that out there.

@CBee so this was the example poem for the first exercise on personification. It‘s nice. I attempted poetry, but in the end all I got was “This book just rolled her eyes at me because I suck at writing poetry.” Maybe I need a little more rudimentary exercise, or a little more guidance at least.

I have long since read that in Celtic/Irish society the bards were the historians, musicians, and poets. Well, I‘m a historian and a musician, so I thought for St. Patrick‘s Day (March, really), I would learn a little about writing poetry. I can‘t wait to see what kind of rubbish I can come up with in the next 31 days with this bad boy. 😂🤣😂
