Notes About The Poem

19 Crimes

My confession
I murdered them all
impostors
claims of poetic devices
when the evidence was only
rants piled upon rants

A circle of praises
made the courts dizzy
the frauds committed
only added to their notoriety
under oath
all their poems shattered

The judge looked me in the eye
how do you plead sir
"Guilty as charged your honour"
I here by then sentence you to 19 days
you must pay for each crime
one day for each scoundrel exposed

Juliet Ligon September 25, 2023 at 7:01 PM I'm not big into wine, but when I saw this brand with Snoop featured on the cover, I had to laugh... and buy it. Your poem is creative. Arthur Vaso September 25, 2023 at 9:25 PM Yes, I love wine, but in this case I love the labels, they are very creative!!!

Susan Ashley September 23, 2023 at 8:23 AM Dear Arthur, though on the surface your intriguing poem seems to be about a whiskey brand, it could also be a deeper dive with your incisive pen that cuts more deeply exposing what needs to be excised. Much here to "pour" though and mull over, dear poet. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Arthur Vaso September 25, 2023 at 9:24 PM Thank you for kind words!!!

Kenisha Shines September 22, 2023 at 7:28 AM well written poem.Hope those criminals are there where they should be. have great day! Arthur Vaso September 25, 2023 at 9:23 PM They seem to evade poetic justice all the time! :) thanks!!!

Arthur Vaso September 18, 2023 at 8:45 PM First, my apologizes Mark Koplin, the ones insulted you I should have deleted their comments faster. Is sad so see such immaturity from these trolls and that's exactly what they are, I have seen them pick on others too. I have also blocked them from commenting on my page. What's funny they play the victim, a trait of narcissists by the way, but their character and actions it seems never changes and speaks volumes. Hope you have a great day. Mark Koplin September 19, 2023 at 4:24 AM Thank you for that Art! Some people just blindly follow others without knowing the facts. As sad as that is it’s just life. You don’t ever have to delete anyone because of me, I’ve developed leather skin. Have a good day my friend!

Beryl Edmonds September 18, 2023 at 12:07 AM A great write Arthur, poets should not write in spite, much better to be kind and nice. Congratulations on receiving the honour of poem of the day… Belle

Mark Koplin September 17, 2023 at 6:55 AM You get praise from me for your POTD, Arthur. Guilty ones don't want the blame so pass their guilt off on others.

Tania Kitchin September 16, 2023 at 8:50 AM Art, an interesting perspective, imposters in my opinion are ones who write flowery, no nonsense poems that may have been copied using AI, well penned. Arthur Vaso September 17, 2023 at 6:30 PM ah yes, that AI is a tricky thing, but it can be used for Good as well as bad! Thanks!! :)

Sotto Poet September 16, 2023 at 7:12 AM My friend, you have crafted a captivating masterpiece. Your words unveil the cunning villains who revel in their deceitful shroud. Arthur Vaso September 17, 2023 at 6:29 PM Thanks you Sotto Poet, always a delight to read both your Poetry and comments.

Robert Lindley September 16, 2023 at 4:56 AM My friend a very thought-provoking new creation. Your verses expose those villains that like to hide. I suggest about 69 day myself. A FAV. God bless you my friend. Arthur Vaso September 17, 2023 at 6:27 PM Thanks Robert.

Jan Allison September 16, 2023 at 4:38 AM thought provoking piece Art, I guess I am guilty of writing poop poetry and the occasional rant but if you can expose any real villains even better lol . Hugs Jan xx Arthur Vaso September 17, 2023 at 6:26 PM Villains often do not realize it but they expose themselves, a fine example here it seems!

Eve Roper September 15, 2023 at 11:42 PM Wow, very strong emotional poem. who are the culprits? Thank you , you are such a thrill. I've been using some of the paintings you've posted for some of the poems as well as the contest I've sponsor. Arthur Vaso September 17, 2023 at 1:43 PM Hi Eve, well I just based it on a wine I like more the labels than anything else. I just thought their labels so creative and funny!
