A Poemhunter score of five point five <br />Is the rating that says - THIS POEM IS ALIVE. <br /> <br />This poem is beloved and disdained at the same time. <br />Regardless of the skill or perfection of the rhyme. <br /> <br />While poetic skill may cause some to vote a ten. <br />A tendency to be overly generous cheapens the 'ten'. <br /> <br />But when people agree with a poem enthusiastically <br />Or if they are offended by truths portrayed somewhat sarcastically <br /> <br />They will assign the scores which reflect the strength of their emotion <br />Either one or ten - Now lets add these up and then take the quotient <br /> <br />And we can see that a poemhunter score of five point five, <br />Is the score that such strong emotions implicitly derive.<br /><br />Daniel Partlow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poemhunter-poem-scores-trite/
