The Speed Of Poetry
A Sonnet On How Fast Poetry Is Produced On Vocal
This is a poem about how fast poems appear in the Vocal Poets community, mainly due to the fact that there is a hundred-word minimum and poems do not have to follow a defined format so here are my poetic observations on

Nice ๐
Insightful poem. It is true how many poems are published on vocal. Every second it seems there is a new poem. But you really think they're all faster than you? I would kind of think it's the opposite that you are faster than all of them! ๐
Thank you. I can relate!๐๐
The line, "They are all much faster than me" resonates with me so much. I feel like such a slacker or slow poke with how quickly I put out new material. But you gotta go at your own pace, I guess. Great work and very creative idea :)
I guess this is what they mean by 'time stops for no one'. People would always overtake us. We just gotta keep up. Very well written poem!
Made me smile - sometimes words flow, sometimes it's hard, but people have a lot to say! ๐ค
Well stated!!! Loving it๐๐
You're right, sometimes they just flow out. Well said.
