Notes About The Poem

Cant as wordplay equivalent to can't  to clarify my intentions.

A Complete Write-Off

Amateur writers, they languish in bookshelves,
their mediocre musings dull, tawdry, and lacklustre,
garish fare inviting foot press dust bin or giant skip,
infused with cliché-ridden dumbstruck cant so trite,
I “CANT” grasp why such writers are that brazen,
“Amateur Writer” is not the word!

Ha!! Ha!! Well, we ain't all experts. LOL..ROTFL..Some write posts so fancy that it is impossible to understand or some so flowery it has no meaning. Life issues out all kind of people and works. Just have to match up the right person to the right poem. LOL..Sara K

Haha. I probably write this way sometimes. Like kissing lots of frogs before finding the prince!

Hey Howard, Wow, this piece is a pure blast of fiery, unapologetic frustration with mediocrity! A fantastic, energetic rant against anything that settles for less than real substance. Keep the bar high my friend. Autumn Blessings, Howard, Daniel
