Comment Each Other’s Poems Poem by Margaret Alice

‘Tis too weird, I understand it not, strangers with
foreign names charge in like the Mongolian hordes
and destroy everything in their way; flood the site
with rhymes they call poems; making it impossible
to access the site – oh wait, I understand it well
I did the same; but

Whereas I was stopped after kicking poetic ease of
access away, setting up dingy structures in a day -
taken to task by a strict master and made to apologise;
these barbarians flood personal messages with requests
to READ and COMMENT their offerings with titles
I can’t pronounce

Not even bothering to indicate what strange lingo was used,
500 languages found in India, Tanzania also boasts 500
different mother tongues - not offering incentive by adding
their masterpiece to whet a weary appetite, merrily rambling
on and spoiling my day

Starting irreverently with “Hi” does not endear yourself to
anyone, it doesn’t bode well for the kind of things you have
to say, a request to charge over to an unknown site to read
new offerings is meaningless in the extreme, do you deem
it good practice yourself?

Kindly read and comment each other’s poems at length, then
send me your conclusions on each other’s work, I would love
to see how you rate each other, revealing your criteria might
induce me to go see who said things like that…
