I Really, Really Don'T Like Your Poem

I Really, Really Don’t Like Your Poem By Elton Camp Your poem I read with the greatest care But no real meaning could I see there It was unrelated words strung end-to-end No talent or sense could I apprehend A “verse” consisting of only one word Who, of such a thing, has ever heard? I have to wonder if you were on cocaine Or too long at the bar you did remain If I should dare to express any dismay You’re certain to retaliate in some way So without comment I’ll pass it on by And another’s writing I will now try Maybe yours has merit that I can’t see But I sure can’t imagine what it can be

So funny! I have many of those same thoughts. One time, when I was new here, I asked a guy what his poem was supposed to mean and gave him suggestions for improvement. Of course he got super offended, because who am i, right? But I wasn't trying to be arrogant; i was trying to be helpful! So I hate it when poems don't make sense and even more when everyone's like "that's awesome!" while i am thinking wtf? love your poem :)

Hey Dean, I was hesitant to post this one although it's meant mainly as humor. However, I do see comments excessively praising writes that make absolutely no sense to me or that are rife with the most terrible errors. Of course, I am far from being a qualified "critic." Thanks for reading. Elton
