Why the hell should I respond to
'I'm new to this site, please read
all my poems and
comment (you'll enjoy them) '- when
you haven't the courtesy
or even the guile
to read just the odd poem
of mine? Why should you
trust the judgement of a poet
you don't even admire or
despise?
OK I'll have cooled tomorrow but
I'm glad I've let off steam
and
by the way that first bit applies
to older acquaintances too.
'Lousy poet but
good for a comment', huh?
(OK, guys - the moment passed...)
Hey, Michael, I've got an idea: why don't you team up with Joy Vanderhelm and collaboratively compose an angry poem to end all angry poems? Read her 'F**k Off All Those Who Cannot Begin To Know Me' and you'll see what I mean (and I'm the one suggesting you to read it, NOT her) . This is tongue-in-cheek on my part, Mr Shepherd, as I think you can see. You don't need me to tell you that you have the right to express your anger. Respectfully (and you better believe it!) , Gina Onyemaechi.
Please read this comment and all my other clever and erudite comments left on mostly mediocre poems. Let me know what you what you think of them, but please understand that I'm not a professional commenter. Besides, there's really no way to judge whether one comment is better than another. It's all subjective. BTW, your poem is excellent.
Christ..... i didn't realise we were all so bad? Someone clearly got your goat! I like the way you expressed it thus once off the chest no need to speak it again! Well put! HG: -)
Michael....Stumbled on this one & it amused me greatly....take th' tongue outta' yir cheek, my good friend....Tis words of fact you giveth here, whilst others might pretend.....Frank
Michael, I'm worried about you. But some things needing to be said only get spoken in a moment of outrage. Carolynn
I'm taking my tongue out of my cheek (temporarily) to say, love you all really...
A little grumpy today Michael? I have to say you put a smile on my face. avr
