He likes to reconstruct
every poem he reads....
until it fits his style
of rhyme and meter.
He force-feeds his ideas
and
punishes poets
who don’t agree.
It's like insisting
Andy Warhol
paint like
Claude Monet.

Firstly, decent burn on all those types of critics, Hugh! Joyce, there seems to be a proliferation of pompous, perfunctory cavilers plaguing the ubiquitous 'impressive presses.' Couldn't resist the alliteration, folks. You are spot on with this little number, Ms. Chelmo. Kindest regards, Greg
Very true and very well said, a great poem that hits the spot, Love Duncan

Joyce, you make a great point. Every poet's expression is uniquely their own. Nobody has a right to try to change it or fix it to fit into some predetermined form. Two thumbs up... nice job! Brian
