Poetry / Scrounging Poets Dumpsters (Analysis)

I would have to agree with the rhythm being shaken,I have thought about the change from the 4 line form, and until your comment about the line rage seeming forced, other possibilities  that would leave the 4 line form intact never occurred to me.Your review on Scrounging Poet’s Dumpsters is the first review of many that did not enjoy it from start to finish. Which is why I never considered changing it or looking at it in such a way.

If reading discarded words let you see into their minds that begs the question why can’t you do the reverse? Elaborate on this question please. Are you saying the scrounger is, or should be a mind reader?

And why should the last line be ” I think I find my mind”?

when scrounging poets dumpsters
the things I seem to find,
one day,if not mistaken
I think I found my mind….

It seems  you want this changed to fit  your image of what this imaginary dumpster scrounging person should be thinking . The scrounger is questioning himself, as in “I think I found my mind”. If it read “I thought I found my mind” that would mean that he did not find his mind.

If it read “I think I find my mind” it adds to many ind rhyming words and what tense does this create or refer to past present or future.

Bottom line , thanks for your input and a good review that opened another direction of thought for me on this one.

How ever some times it seems that simple fun, easy to read poetry is taken apart as if it has some deep life altering message to uncover.
HAVE AN OUTSTANDING DAY!

I did not attempt to look for deep meaning.

I was looking to help improve the form.

I think I’ll find my mind

That is what I was seeing with this suggestion, it fits better tense wise with the rest of your stanza.

With the beg the question comment, I mean that if you are creative enough to see inside a Poet’s mind by reading what they discard then you should be clever enough to express your own mind likewise.

Didn’t say I didn’t like this.  It was a fun read.

I used the word call twice because it reinforces the fact that the dumpsters are calling out to me.In reality i never scroung anyones dumpsters, but it seemed a fun write at the time.I think cry out would work, but dumpsters are big ugly messy things and I cant see one crying out. Thanks for a great review and I’m glad you enjoyed it.Have an outstanding day.

thank you for reading and reviewing and enjoying.I dont use any other poets work in any way nor do i scrounge their dumpsters, it was just a good fun poem to write and the subject seemed genuine.
