To The Grammar Critic

Contributed by waynster on Tuesday, 14th August 2012 @ 03:52:26 PM in AEST
Topic: anguished

Here is a quatrain poem,
dedicated to those critical about grammar.
My poems are full of meaning,
so stop hitting me with a hammer.

Don’t be so rude,
and tell me you would have given a higher score.
Points are not needed by me,
just sharing my thoughts and feelings is what I adore.

Don’t stab me in the heart,
after telling me I made a mistake.
A simple notion that you liked it,
would have been better and not cause my heart to ache.

Just so you know,
the poems I write are straight from my head.
They come from thoughts and feelings,
which to my pen are fed.

I really hope this makes you feel in shame,
for pointing out a mistake, telling you would have given me much more.
Maybe you will now realize,
I do not need your comments or any systematic score.

It did hurt,
when I read the comment that you wrote.
You can take my oars away,
but I will still pilot this boat.

As a poet,
I don’t let your words cut deep through my skin.
I have a wonderful soul,
and it won’t let your hurtful words get in.

It hurt only a little,
just enough to make me write this to you.
Now you can go be a grammar critic,
In everything else you do.

To all of the other people,
who love the poetry that I write.
Thank you all so much,
may us all as poets care, love and unite.

One of the things,
I would love to say.
I too have been critical to others,
please forgive me in every way.

I am only a critic,
about a poem that makes no sense.
I try to get you to understand,
to climb over that poetic fence.

Making your words flow,
to get people to feel what you write.
Sometimes can be difficult,
can even be a terrible fight.

Next time you write a poem,
read it before you post.
Make sure it is awesome,
so it will make many people boast.

Thank you everyone,
that took the time to read what I just wrote.
I will end this poem,
my hurt all gone, ending on a good note.
