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)

Yep, exactly. That's what I wrote my blog about a week or so ago (All kinds make a world)
