HELP ME WITH A POEM

Hi, I hope it's ok to do this, but I am just trying out poetry. I have put a couple of poems on my blog, probably so boring that there has yet been no comments. However I have done another boring poem and wonder if anyone could help me make it a bit more interesting. I have a forum and we have quiz nights which are fun. Some members do bits of poetry on it to, This poem. I written here relates to those Quiz nights.
Thanks

Poetry and friends oh what can I say
We get together in a peculiar way
We pop in and out to see who’s about
When no ones there we run and and shout

Where are my friends I’ve not seen them today
Maybe there shopping or out for the day
Sunshine’s not sleeping is she having a nap
Maybe she’s dancing or learning to tap

Lightening strikes when janx appears
I can’t keep up with her posts I fear
I chase her around she’s like jack flash
Catching up with her posts after such a dash

Willow is writing for ever more
Popping in and out like I’ve not seen before
Cath comes in hardly knowing where to start
Before we know it she’s baked a tart

Pamie comes in and out for a while
Doing her washing she’s got such a pile
Laura missed the quiz, and flew in with aching joints
Wondering if next week will bring her more points

Nanna missed the quiz this week as well
I was wondering if maybe she was so unwell.
Suzie in and out just being a fluzie
Maybe she was just being a wee bit nosey

Calamity kate’s doing well with her postings
Kate's part of the group so we’re all toasting
As for me, well what can I say
I was the one that made it this way.

Thank you Angel

Post in the critical poetry forum if you...

Hi,

Don’t be hard on yourself that your poems up until now have received no comments. Most on here – regardless of quality – go without any.

If you want advice to improve your writing, try posting in the critical poetry forum. I would give you some, but the people therein are more knowledgeable than I am.

Hi Simon, thank you for your reply.

I did put a poem in that forum, but seemed to put it in wrong place. So I do not want to go back on there at the moment.

I just thought someone could give me a few better words to use to make my poem more interesting thats all. Im not a poet but like writing things with meaning and rhymes. Or should I say I am experimenting. Thank you Angel
