Poem Title:
Poem
Stop being so downcast! Stop feeling so blue! And please, stop caring about how many here like you! On this planet we have but a short time here. Don't you understand this basic truth? There is nothing to fear! Don't come here to be a comment collector. Reply to comments for heaven's sake! Please don't be just a selfish taker! Someone took time to not only read but comment! You let them sit ice cold, so arrogantly bold. Some will like you, some will not. So, laugh, get a tall, cool glass of apricot nectar, And let the arrogant rot! If you ever get insulted, get a screenshot! Big whoop if poets go in another direction! Ta-ta, au-Revoir~you don't need to be, by them, to be detected! The arrogant here think they are by the very God selected? They by pass your poetry as if it were garbage, freshly collected? You can see it in their "perfect poetry" Always a race to be at the top of the poetry tree. Rarely, will they comment to thee. You must first comment to them on humble,bended knee? Looking in mirrors, it's only themselves they see! Just, please pen some words from your very special heart! Not Shakespearian wannabes, such pretentious smarts! There are marvelous poets here, genuine people I praise them from the highest steeple! Put on the page, whatever you feel,.above all else, be unflinchingly real. And when you go to bed each night, oh my. How happy and accomplished you will be! That you are a genuine poet not a poet-groupie! April 10, 2020 1am PST
