Bruise For Bruise
I shot a comment slick as grease
to some unprecedented piece.
It flew with speed to poet’s box
and landed there - a sack of rocks.
Though my intent wasmto improve,
the worthy bard wasmnot so moved.
He flashed me back a few choice words.
His perfect poem I had slurred.
My tattered ego hit delete
and now the processnis complete.
While bruise for bruise, the damage done -
the proof of his reply is gone.
