Oh Dave. I love this! Write Stuff It doesn't give me a place to leave a *ThumbsUpL* or a *HeartP* or *Laugh* or a simple reply. So here I am writing a whole review. Besides I have a goal to write at least 2 reviews a day and this is my 2nd.

*Laugh* First impression The title is perfect. It has humor and gives the reader an idea of what's coming next. Can't imagine any poet passing this up.

*Laugh* Form Written in 5 cinquains with a syllabic pattern for each stanza of L1,L2,L5 7 syllables each, L3,L4, 5 syllables each.
Rhyme scheme aabba ccddc eeffe.

*Laugh*Texture, rhythm, word choice, and sonics This is a poem that has to be read out loud, it skips along like a kid at play. fun with an easy-breezy feel. The repetition of the word "stuff" is very effective, especially in the 1st stanza.

*Laugh* SuggestionsI see no technical problems here. But if it were mine, {and yes I'm playing poetry police) I'd drop the word "or" at the beginning of S1 L5, it is unnecessary for rhythm or meaning and this is the only 8-syllable line in the poem. This is just my opinion which tends to purist preference when examining form. Use what you find helpful and ignore the rest.

*Laugh* OverviewAs I stated in the beginning I loved this poem. I loved its light hearted, almost silly, banter of this piece. The repetition of "stuff" made it so real to me. Been there done that. I'm glad you used this as an example for your discussion thread. Now I have to write something.

Thanks for all the great "stuff" you provide at WDC.
