Against Those Putting Us Down
There are those
who are blasting Poetry Soup
They say that the poems there are not very good
Well if there are one hundred thousand or so poem
on the site
some of them are bound to be fine
Some prefer free verse
others rhyme
There are so many
who are writing poems
including not only scholars and professors
but also sanitation workers
baseball players
union members
and doctors and attorneys
Don't let the critics spoil your fun
You are the creator of the verse - not them
(and if you make a little cash out of it
you deserve a goddam medal)
