In answer to Ms. Bukaty about my not yet writing poetry as of yet. I've always enjoyed Haiku, which has a 5-7-5 iambic pentameter. This is a simple one about why I do what I do.
I'm a realtor
My job is to help people
I love real estate!
Eventually, I will have something more poetic to write or a short story, whichever comes first.
Poetry's no joke
Mastery ever fleeting
Emasculated
Marc-
I ain't no english major and no poet but doesn't this first line in your Haiku only have an iambic pentameter of 4? "I'm" is 1 "a" is 1 and "Realtor" is 2 for a total of 4. :)
I guess it goes back to the same thing that NAR is addressing with the incorrect pronuciation of Realtor. Often pronounced 'Reel-a-tor' (with the extra syllable) by it's members and the public.
I am a Real-tor
Some call me a Reel-a-tor
I ain't no poet
Winters harshness breaks
Soul compressed and twisted, snaps
We will love again
Marc is a poet
no matter what you might say
I will read his shit.
Who is Bukaty
That questions your poetry
I don't understand
Real-tor Reel-a-tor
Contact me to sell your house
Call me what you will!

Commerce lays its head
Souls mysteries revealed

This post is public
So I will hold my tongue
Members only is for fun
Enter here for a hehe
Cute and clever are wewe
Marc and Bukaty are having fun?
We hope!
Marc--I'm having writer's block right now and can't add to your fine list of poets! However, I did notice your tags and groups and did not notice the 'Dead Rainers Society'! Now, that's poetic!!
WOW! We have a lot of poets here. Thanks for the contributions - that is so cool!
Paul - Love your haiku and know that you weren't critiquing me.
Bryon - re-al-tor
Matt - excellent x 2
Bukaty - You're so sweet
Michele - I'm not sure if any of us understand
Kelvi - Isn't that so and yes, it is fun
Dan - too true and funny
Jeanean - thanks
Debe - We all get that at times. You should check out the group, there are a lot better writers in there than myself.
Roses are red voilets are blue Marc Grossman is a hell of a guy.
Bill has no clue.
How did I do?
I'm not a poet
Never was, never will be
Happy Valentine's
Bill -
No one is to say
What a poet is or not
From the heart is all
Lisa -
Valentine's a day
For love and friendship abound
Stormy clouds erased
Marc - I guess perhaps your expecting some Haiku from yours truly? Well, not on this particular day....well, why the heck not.
Crap is what I write
Reads nicely while on the thrown
Just make sure you flush
Boy, am I rusty:-)
Jason -
I think Dan is right
This should be members only
All this crap and chit
Bukaty -
Children let's play fair
There is no need for cross hairs
The Rain is our lair
Sardi, sweet baby
I will ride your rusty nail
to eternity
:)
Christine - Too funny!
Don't try to catch up
You'll do what you need in time
This is not a race!
Like your new picture.
My favorite:
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator
Drawn together here
Our reverant spirits awake
Cares like raindrops fall
Joey -
Joey's too funny
I have to agree with him
But, I like Haikus
Jenn - You love everyone!
Matt - I can't come near to your poetry level. I quite enjoy it.
I log in sometimes
Just to see who'll make me laugh
MFAO
Paul is a poet
He's funny and serious
Slayed by Paul Slaybaugh
I am blown away
How do you do it, Slaybaugh?
Uhh...nope, can't top that.

Noble yet tragic struggle
