The Poisen Pen

Contributed by NoSaint on Wednesday, 13th July 2005 @ 04:37:06 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



Uniformity, conformity who knew
From the mouths of babes it would spew
Wanting others to follow their lead
Thinking they are the only poets the world needs

They are the only poets worthy of awards
And they use words as their swords
Truth is many styles and types move my heart
And maybe just maybe yours is a part

But unless you are published or have a degree
Then please keep your opinion friendly you see
For I will go back and read your great work
And if it is mediocre I will find you a jerk

For I don’t presume mine is the only way
And I don’t in just one style stay
Also I know with practice is improvement
And I don’t intend to cause others resentment

Encouragement is what is needed here
Not a message from a horses rear
Variety is the spice of life
So why bring others so much strife?

If their poem is not to your liking
Why with evil pen go striking
Skip the commentary of poison pen
And just work on yourself once again

Bravo bravo this hit the nail right on the head in a classy tasteful poetic sort of way. Your words wise and your pen shines there has been far to much unwanted critic here of late!

Shari, I agree wholeheartedly. There has just been too much of this lately and it bringing this site down. I am in 100% agreement with the comments. Keep it kind and helpful. Not mean and degrading. Thank you for this.

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE A great big standing ovation for you.
Clean up your own pen, before running some else's down is what I always say, and I might add...........couldn't have say as well as you did Shari.
I think some delight in doing this to us because they know, we will scream bloody murder............and they are right. I also tell Mick............it's uncalled for!!!
Good for you friend
More power to you
Warm love

Kudos to you! I agree wholeheartedly with every word. There are "constructive" ways in which to criticize or critique a persons work. Poetry is an expressive artform and some people do it better than others(everyone is entitled to their own interpretation or opinion, but as my mama used to always say, "If ya don't have nothin' nice to say, JUST DON"T SAY IT AT ALL!" Great write!
