"She was a nice girl, a proper girl,
but one of the roving kind" - Guy Mitchell song


Heartily throw warm this round
fair shoulders
surrounding interwound foreground
small boulders

Daughter descend defend
demand
and send
down loaders

Countermand as planned
orders be damned
understand and land
hear it

Resounding new
found and profound
on-the-ground
Spirit

Pinging ringing dinging singing
orotund and jocund
rotund gerund
fecund stunned
infatuation

Airbag bounced, Sleepy
Hollow
exploration, expectation, excavation
innovation

Assess GPS address
depress egress with success
caress and finesse
compress excess digress
we guess obsess transgress
may Lord bless redress
exploitation
fear it
off odor
molder

Saga of a Mars Rover
(sol 1 - ?)

It's a novel read

Interesting enough to read once but not poetic enough to read twice, at least, for me. Still very interesting and thanks for sharing.

Duh, I think it get it...

maybe, if I'm right, the words used fit, I really had to look for the clues.

I like the sound of the words.

I would take YDD's implied advice, and moderate...

IMHO YDD is the best critic here.

So what am I saying? - I heartily agree with all below. Or put another way, this has value, but maybe requiring too much effort for the value that it has, or overpriced for the market its in.

I must disagree with YDD

Not only did I find substance beneath the structure, but I also enjoy those poems created of structure alone.

Please continue, Reltne.

Unkind Roving

This new poet is too word-bound to make sense.

A poem should not require a dictionary and thesaurus

to be comprehensible, much less enjoyable.

This work overuses alliteration and rhyme

in an attempt to impress.

Few here possess the interest

nor will spend the time required

to discover that unwrapped

this poem yields nothing.

It is a creation of structure not substance.

It might as well be Jabberwocky,

though never as well.

until

I read what it was about I thought it was an interesting rhyme scheme and some thesaurus work.

NOW

I think it's a great piece

Thank you
