Some of the bontos are very good. In particular I want to acknowledge the contributions of Jim Duthoit and Paul Scott who have both been very energetic. One of my favourites is by Paul Scott:

Once again I want to emphasis the huge importance of the structure. Many of the entries did not follow the tight bonto structure:

1st line: action
2nd line: reason behind the action
3rd line: result of the action
4th line: general philosophical reflection

In many of the entries the final line was directly related to the "story". While these may have been very good they were not pure bontos. The fourth line must be able to stand on its own as a general philosophical reflection on life as in:

In some case the rhyming was not quite good enough. In almost all case, including my own, the syllables and beat were not right. This aspect needs much more work.

Many people are somtimes confused that I write both about creativity and also about structure and discipline. The two are not as contradictory as many assume.

First of all a bonto does not exist as a separate identity unless it retains the structure of that identity.

Secondly, creativity to fit a tight structure is a greater creative achievement - and also gives a greater sense of achievement and success (the main purpose behind the bontos). If "anything goes" then you have not achieved much.
