Broke something for my play
It was never perfect anyway
So I reasoned what to say
That no way would I pay

Going for Broke:
About This Poem
Last Few Words: The Pottery Barn rule is an American expression alluding to a policy of "you break it, you bought it" or “you break it, you buy it” or "you break it, you remake it", by which a retail store holds a customer responsible for damage done to merchandise on display. Does this only apply to customers (persons) and not to countries?

and if OriginalRhyku breaks his own rules
who's gonna pay for that?
I'm going to hold my breath and turn blue till I get my pressie.

Thanks for your review but I am perplexed, which of my rules did I break?
I thought the rules
for line count and syllables for rhyku were the same as for haiku. You often write that way.
My bad.

As you may have noticed, this is a four line poem that is neither Haiku nor Rhyku - more like a free verse rhyme. Cheers.
