Poemhunter Poem Scores (Trite) Poem by Daniel Partlow

A Poemhunter score of five point five
Is the rating that says - THIS POEM IS ALIVE.

This poem is beloved and disdained at the same time.
Regardless of the skill or perfection of the rhyme.

While poetic skill may cause some to vote a ten.
A tendency to be overly generous cheapens the 'ten'.

But when people agree with a poem enthusiastically
Or if they are offended by truths portrayed somewhat sarcastically

They will assign the scores which reflect the strength of their emotion
Either one or ten - Now lets add these up and then take the quotient

And we can see that a poemhunter score of five point five,
Is the score that such strong emotions implicitly derive.
