Magic Trick For Frank.

by Willard

Published June 5, 2014

In The Satirical Collection

My entry to the No E's challenge. This has been ripping me apart. It has been mentally destroying me.

Tonight I will do,
A magic trick.
A trick I will conduct,
With just a prick.

Frank is my victim,
Who won't pass.
If Frank shall pass on this,
Frank can kiss my...

As I should say,
This is a difficult task.
Don't worry,
This is going to go fast.

My awkward word options,
Is just an act.
It's not on mishap,
Just a tip of thy hat.

Say, Frank is watching Cops,
With no pants on.
Cops bust in,
Not knowing what's wrong.

Frank was on that show Cops,
And that is a plot twist.
Frank is a plot twist,
An outcast in mist.

This plot twist,
Is that Frank is you.
You just saw,
Difficult things I had to go through.

This is bad,
All this agony and pain.
Who can think up,
This awful plan?

I didn't do this willingly,
I HAD to do this.
Not thy only thing,
Thou has a big list!

I thought thy worst thing,
Was to log fan fiction!
Shockingly, that's not worst,
This ruins ALL diction!

Many saw pain,
All for fun!
Sadly,
I couldn't run.

Going through an abyss,
Playing with a full gun.
Just to win,
Not for fun.

What was this action?
To not mark up a tally.
I didn't mark a tally,
By not using...
"Q"
No, Frank, not Q.
"Z"
Not Z! Shut up, Frank!
"A compass!"
O.....kay?

This was actually really funny, I'm shocked to find something that's humorous In poetry, I got done reading several stuff similar to yours in the humor section that wasn't funny at all.
I take humor seriously and this was funny.

Now when it got to the last two paragraphs it got kind of confusing and a little boring.
I didn't really understand it.

Otherwise good job, you did a decent job and I'd rank this from 1-10 about a 6.

There weren't really any grammar or punctual mistakes so that's good.

Not bad in the humor category, I laughed a bit good job. Though it got weak at the ending and it wasn't exactly funny but it wasn't bad.

Keep up the good work, write something similar to this but finish-strong alright?

Thumbs Up!

I liked this! Was it hard not being able to use E's? I wouldn't be able to at all, not for one second!

The only thing I would mention would be the last (paragraph or what do you call it in a poem?). Well anyways, it was a bit awkward and didn't really make sense...

But the rest flowed beautifully, and you should be happy to know that I didn't discover and E's, ;D. you should do more poems like this, eliminating important letters. It would challenge you, and would help you be more cautious in your writing.

Great job!

Ok before I review or even read this I ran it through the E checker for you. You have 6 accidental e's so you are going to need to fix em up asap. (Most of them are the's which are super hard to get around.

In order of appearance.

"passes"

"the mist"

"The difficult"

"Not the"

One can't bury. "
