As Memes Diffuse

Mirror, mirror from the wall to online vanity declares, pick a piece of mine. Respond, rewrite, re-integrate the theme; This contest prompt is becoming a meme. Culture shifts slowly; one stanza at a time. Apprentices with reason and rhyme compose on the edge of vulgar and crass pieces that are cheeky and bold as brass. Later as veterans they make their mark - courtesy melts; poetry becomes stark.

Woah an eloquent criticism of what can be considered vanity and show off but a lot of poets on many sites these days want you to read their poem then use it as a prompt. And when you said 'pieces bold as brass' I couldn't help giggling at what you call cheeky poems. Kudos for a strong poem crafted swell. Plz do comment my newest poem, I hope u don't tink I'm vain. It's that when you read a great poem you wish yours be analysed by great poets of it.
