Famous Poets

The other day, I was visiting the home page at Poetry Soup and noticed a picture of a guy named Willie Shakespeare His poems are okay but I found his plays a bit hard to follow For example: “To be or not to not to be: That is the question” Really Billy? I mean you either IS or you AIN’T right? SO, I commented on some of his poems just to encourage him and guess what? Not ONE-SINGLE-COMMENT in return! I even tried Soup Mail offering kind, polite advice and critique No dice! Zilch! Zero! Perhaps it was the style tips I suggested? That collar's gotta go...Can you IMAGINE in the midst of summer? I am now convinced that ego and resentment were involved So I decided to try Eddie Poe and honestly? His stuff is WEIRD and Ed, I hate to break this to you but: Ravens don't talk Did the same with Bobby Frost, Benny Johnson and some others Same old song and waltz, not a peep out of a single ONE of them To top it off, I Souped Emmy Dickinson (I wanted to ask her out) I suggested that she might want to edit the first line of her poem from: “I dreaded that first robin so" to: “I dreaded that first robin like you wouldn’t BELIEVE” Her silence was deafening. Just who do these people think the ARE? Light bulb! Now I know why PS crams them all together on the right hand end. They feel sorry for these poet wanna-be’s, but not ME. I will continue to mentor
