Who's Your Poet Now

Oh hell, why do I go to peoples pages, I do not know Why must I look to see What these Hacks call poetry There, right now, in my face If he had talent, it left no trace This sends me into a violent rage Oh crap, I'm looking at ........my page I often look back at poetry I have written years ago...sometimes just weeks ago, and say "Who the Hell wrote THAT"

Yeah, those "what the hell was I thinking when I wrote that....syndrome. Nicely paced "GOTTCHA" leading up to the final line.

This was an awesome write in that it had me guessing till the end. Incredibly well written. You should have written it in time for the comments contest as Andrea said! Wow! I have that feeling too, but...truth be told, I do sometimes read something I've written and get a nice warm feeling...Like....I wrote THAT? ;) It goes both ways.

Thanks Eileen, To show How good a judge of poetry I am, There are three poems of mine, that I almost removed from the soup as being failures.....Robin and Marion-----Time and Time Again---Life's love story.....turns out that would have been a mistake.
