this is ludicrous.

hahaha i like the ludicrousness
— britta
I don't. If you can't manipulate the caps lock button don't submit poems.
Otherwise, it would've been cool.
— unknown
"puzzems". read other gnormal's stuff. i can't claim that i am smart enough to understand all of them though.
— unknown
it is ludicrous -- and the end is just plain dumb, but I like it. I think capslock works, as silly as it sounds
— unknown
the capslock works well
— unknown
yes, there's nothing wrong with my keybd.
has anyone counted the F's?
— gnormal
of.
— username
I also don't have much idea of the meaning of the word FOUNT
— JimBert
I only get 10 as much as I try -- but maybe there are supposed to be Fifteen?
— unknown
you know what would make this poem better? a little angel made out of slashes and asteriks.
— thinknerd
o hate old mens balls
— unknown
of course britta would like this poem... blah blah blah
— unknown
yes 15 F's. remember to count "of" and the two in the title. Nice poem.
— Mazzo
this is great. there are only 10 F's (12 if you count the title), and the title is 15, as if you should look for fifteen. i think gnormal was trying to elicit that response from someone, so i'll just go out and say it. very cleverly done. i am a fan of the capslock
— root
15 Fs. Who said 10? Count again.
— unknown
15 F's, 16 if you count the F in February! This is obviously just for fun.
— Isabelle5
you wrote this on leap day? really?
— unknown
very cool...
— WOOHOO
how appropriate that, as careful and clever as i thought i was, i found myself behind in forgetting about the F in Feb!
— unknown
there are 15 WITHOUT "Feb." Count again.
— unknown
That's what he's saying. Read again.
— unknown
I don't understand how someone can say a poem is "ludicrous". Poetry is defined as, "any communication resembling poetry in beauty or the evocation of feeling". It seems as if this poem invocated much feeling. What is more "ludicrous" is people judging an art like they own it. IT IS EXPRESSION. IT IS THE INTERNET. This is the last place where you can tell someone how poetic their poem is. Keep your comments to that of constructive criticism. Insert cussing here. Nice poem, I enjoyed it, it forced me to count and think.
— unknown
cool clever caps
conceal the fs for
unconscious saps
— boothben
It's a shame a poem like this doesn't make it into the Recent Best.
— boothben
well, of course, besides for the fact it was posted seven months ago.
— unknown
Yeah, it would have been on the list then. I don't like it, though. It's one of those internet gimmicks if you ask me.
— unknown
I got 12 F's
— boolove69
I understand this, and most of ya fucks dont!
— unknown
I counted the F's
— Xxballet05xX
It may be ludicrous, but it has a way of growing on one. lol
— unknown
Ha. Clever.
— Rixes
The title.
— OKcomputer
that was a good peom youare talented but what do you mean by count your f's
— unknown
8 F's! Nice.. i like this!!
— unknown
Wwait.. I found 9 now..
— unknown
i can onli find 12 :s
— unknown
I FOUND 13!!!
— unknown
OK!!! I FOUND 14!!!! AM I RIGHT!! THIS IS GENIUS!!!!
— unknown
haha! the first thing I thought of while reading this was the human mind naturally skips over the word "of". make sure you count those!
how interesting that gnormal would pick the "f" of all letters. I am wondering if he had that "f"-fact in mind.
if you guys didn't get 15. make sure you could "of"!
i thought this was clever. awesome job, gnormal. I am really fond of your poems. Incredibly creative.
— peanut
I think that there are 15.. maybe thats why the tittle is fifteen
— unknown
NOT AN ENTIRELY ORIGINAL IDEA, BUT ITS DONE WELL...I got 15, second time around...
16, if you count the date
— silly
I got 14! But 11 on the first go. I feel like a tool. =P
— wendz
14...14...Ah, February!!! 15!!! Like all yer' stuff Gnormal. Good fun.
— Tabletopjoe
it's 15 without the date.
— gnormal
Wow, there is 15. Don't know where I was missing one earlier, probably one of the "of"s.
— unknown
good i guess
— unknown
i get 15 when i add in the

nice poem i like it
— unknown
fifteen, but hardly original.
— nicl
The last two lines could be:
&nb sp; ; it's like chasing all the blessings
&nb sp; ; you are ever just behind.
I never do that. Sorry, it just came to me.
& nbsp; &nb sp;
— themolly
You..aren't serious? The caps lock is stuck, which seriously annoys me. The title is an obvious answer to the pointless question. This is a waste of time.
— MissMay
you mean DissMay.
— unknown
I love it... and yet the F's are making me crazy, but that was what you were going for right?
— SlyEnid
It took me three counts to get the 15. Clever in two ways
— unknown
i love this poem..its really awesome...
— crazy
Forever fond feeling for form ,feckless fifteen funderingly fantastic.
Farry Fark
— larrylark
There are twelve f's
— Dryad83
it took me a long time to find 15, and i've had to complete a similar excercise discovering f's in text before, so i even have advance knowledge of the technique.
can i use this as an ice-breaker in some of the training sessions i run gnormal?
no would not offend me, at all.
if you're interested however, please email me so i can let you know what it would be used for, credits, etc.
kaleidazcope
— unknown
14, i can't see for looking.
— unknown
Kind of cliche and lacking depth, but clever and stuff!
— Infrangible
of course 'zcope!
i dont even feel like it's "mine".
— gnormal
we oFten take For granted
the things oF which we're Fond.
the Fortunes oF each day
Fount From god's Fairy wand.
try to count the F's
within this poem oF mine.
and just like counting blessings
you'll Find yourselF behind.
that makes 13
and the the title FiFteen adds 2 more
clever but needless to say it has been done before
— unknown
15, of course. This is hilarious.
— Isabelle5
I like it because looking for the F's will teach some of the people who post here how to proofread!
— unknown
Cool
— whiteheat
Is this just about the number of F's in the poem or is there any better significance why the author used 'Fifteen'?
— happymole
