The Best Poem Of ... Kpax

A Charge

If thou hast squander'd years to grave a gem
Commission'd by thy absent Lord, and while
'Tis incomplete,
Others would bribe thy needy skill to them-
Dismiss them to the street!
Should'st thou at last discover Beauty's grove,
At last be panting on the fragrant verge,
But in the track,
Drunk with divine possession, thou meet Love-
Turn at her bidding back.
When round thy ship in tempest Hell appears,
And every spectre mutters up more dire
To snatch control
And loose to madness thy deep-kennell'd Fears-
Then to the helm, O Soul!
Last; if upon the cold green-mantling sea
Thou cling, alone with Truth, to the last spar,
Both castaway,
And one must perish-let it not be he
Whom thou art sworn to obey!

by: Herbert Trench (1865-1923)

And who are the 'we' who think they know better than Poemhunter's voters, who deserves recognition? Remember, it's Fascists who destroy democracy..you're damaging the poemhunter site which you use for free by such childish behaviour. And insulting the really great poets living and dead; and the readers who come to the site looking for great poetry; and the owners of the website..you're even insulting Sally by putting her in a false position.

Yes, there is a better way to indicate which poets are worth reading - Poemhunter as it was before you messed it up, when readers judged, not your little people with their magic wands sprinkling your patronising stardust over myself, Ernestine, Mary, Duncan and Sally...

The Moderator of this poetry site, Collette, and the management of Poemhunter have been informed of this interference with the statistics and postings.

This outrageous lie has been reported to Collette, the Moderator of this site, and to Poemhunter management. Check my stats and you'll see that it was you who lowered mine. Why?

Please do not send me any more messages. I use this site to read and write poetry and speak to like minded people. I has been an enjoyable experience for me and I would like it to stay that way. Michael is a talented poet and even if he has been giving low scores, that's his perogative. People can take the option of not allowing members to vote for their poems if it bothers them that much. If I wanted this nonsense, I'd go to a playground.

I'm posting this message here that you sent me so others can see what a lunatic you are: ... Kpax (4/21/2006 4: 28: 00 PM) MR. POETRY HOUND, YOU LAUGH AND RIDICULE PEOPLE BUT YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUS BECAUSE TEAM Kpax CAN IDENTIFY YOU AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN YOU WILL REGRET. DO NOT DEFEND THE LIAR SHEPHARD. For more than six months MICHAEL SHEPARD HAS SYSTEMATICALLY LIED ABOUT HIS ROLE ON THIS SITE. NOT ONLY HAS HE LOWERED THE SCORES ON COUNTLESS POEMS AND TOLD DESTUCTIVE TALES, Michael Shepard tried to find out where I live in order to poison my dog. MY ISP INFORMED ME OF HIS PATHETICALLY AMATEURISH ATTEMPT AT HACKING INTO MY COMPUTER. You think you know who he is, but he has a darker side. The anagram for his name is “Lechered mishap.” AND YES HE IS A MISHAP THAT TRIES TO SNEAK BY USING OTHER NAMES AND ENGAGES IN ANONYMOUS DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR THINKING IT IS UNDER THE RADAR. His ISP will file a lawsuit against him if he comes near my dog again. My poor little dog Mitzi has never harmed anyone. She has never left negative comments on people’s poems. NOW YOU SEE HOW SERIOUS THIS IS POETRY HOUND. DO NOT DEFEND THE LECHERED MISHAP MICHAEL SHEPHARD AND DO NOT RIDICULE ME OR MITZI ANY FURTHER OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE LEGAL RECOURSE.

It's been really lovelorn knowing you, kpax. Best wishes in your big new job and regards to your team. I'd just like to say, I shall be sad handing over this trophy to the next more worthy winner of the Young Fascist popularity poll, it's been an exciting time and thank you all for voting for me. But it's not just me - I'd like to thank Miss Lucas, my first English teacher (did you get to marry the Biology master?): Whackham Purple, who taught me all the grammar what I know; Sexy Stuttersplash (what was your real name, I never found out?) who wrote such warm remarks on my English essays before the police came and he was suspended from teaching; then there was....(fade out voice; fade in music...) And now we bring you

You apparently have no talent, no intelligence, and no social skills. All you have is time on your hands to toss impotent insults at Michael Shepherd and stuff the ballot box for poems and poets (especially yourself) on this web site, and you only have that time because you obviously don't have a job where you would spend your time more productively. So, Mr. Time-Waster-With-Delusions-Of-Grandeur, why should anyone take you seriously?
