Harmonic, Melodic,
Inversions galore!
Rests, Tests,
Scales so bore.
Once, Twice,
Review some more.
Change it up,
seven sharps!
Now again,
lets have five flats.
Deceptive? Half Cadence?
What does this all mean?
Anacrusis? Perfect?
Man, some of these things.
But I'll do the tasks,
And be thankful I can.
Thank you, teacher
For all the work that you do,
To insure my success,
In this musical brew.

That was very funny.
I can't say I know very much about music but that still didn't hinder my enjoyment of this poem. I could feel the happy emotion within this poem that was a nice change from the usual saddening poems I keep reading, hahha.
I really liked how you praised this teacher as I see so many poem bash and insult such authoritative figures so this was a nice change. All in all I really enjoyed this poem and felt that the words flowed rather well great job!
hey there, quick review coming your way
I really liked the cheerful, easy-to-relate-with, usage of the words in your poem. it had me smiling and nodding the whole time I read it.
my favorite part was "Change it up, seven sharps!" because you literally changed it up after the "galore, more, bore" rhymes in the first three lines.
Intentional or not, it was a really nice touch
I enjoyed it. you wrote the poem humorous and easy to identify with, overall a good combination in my opinion.
keep it up!
Hi there! I have a quick review for you.
I found this light and witty with a lot of bounce in the rhythm. It has an almost nursery rhyme-like simplicity which is very pleasing.
Looking at the build, I feel the rhyming couplets are very, very small and short. Maybe if you lengthened each line, you'd be able to make it more classic in appearance, and you'd score a bonus of internal rhyme in each line. Look here:
Harmonic, melodic, inversions galore!
Though the rests, tests and scales make me snore,
Once, twice, review them some more.
Do you see the change in shape that make the lines flow better? Your structure is very choppy. Your next stanza might consist out of the changed rhythm and alliteration of the seven sharps and five flats, along with a new third line to keep the structure constant.
You return to the previous rhythm in the sixth couplet, so that should start off a new stanza. Keep going with the three-line stanzas to keep it constant.
Other than that, very cute! It's a really nice poem with a lovely upbeat quality to it.
Keep writing
