Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Mad As a Hornet

I’m mad as a hornet, which means mad as hell,
Cause somebody’s saying I write too “cliché.”
Well, I’ve had it to here. Now can’t you tell?
I don’t give a hoot what he has to say!

So what if I’m not some snot’s cup of tea?
I’ll write however I want, for Pete’s sake!
He doesn’t know beans! Good for nothing is he.
I’ll just tell that nut to jump in a lake.

He says that my imagery is not unique,
Yet meanwhile, that no-talent writes for the birds!
Like a hole in the head, I need his critique!
He best watch his back, and them’s fightin’ words.

His high lofty thoughts - I need none of those.
In fact, I will shove them all up his nose!


(Just being silly, but this was fun)

Daver Austin November 29, 2015 at 12:50 PM Well of all the crust! This south side of a jackass going north has belittled one of my favorite poets. Give me his name and I'll take out a contract on him. Just having fun too. Love, daver

Reggae Magnet November 26, 2015 at 10:39 PM the pen is mightier than the sword and your words an be enchanting to the core, when you write , I say give me more give me more and don't listen to some old bore, do your thing.

Matthew Anish November 23, 2015 at 12:20 PM That's telling 'em! Critics are not the creators of original wok! So let them say what ever they want! We know our worth! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Connie Marcum Wong November 23, 2015 at 3:15 AM I scoured my brain but could not come up with anything for this contest Andrea. This was a fun read.

Viv Wigley November 23, 2015 at 1:11 AM You may have been just being silly, Andrea, but I sure as hell wouldn't argue with you. Can I come out from under the table now? A feisty write,lady. Viv x

Susan Gentry November 22, 2015 at 10:12 PM Good luck in the contest. This was charmingly funny, sarcastic, and mad as a hornet all the way through :)

Lindsay Laurie November 22, 2015 at 8:50 PM Crikey Andrea... I truly thought for one verse that an expert had taken to you with negativity, but then a smile appeared... of course these experts are out there - Lindsay

Arthur Vaso November 22, 2015 at 7:58 PM Hello, I am very mad too, My Name is Cliche Peters. I rather enjoy that she writes to me, and think she is quite good at it. Her words raise my spirits and her prose so inspire poetic words. So I Cliche Peters say thank you Andrea, for writing to me so!

Eileen Manassian November 22, 2015 at 7:41 PM OH, woman....it was fun to read. Love how you gave a bit back by including so many clichés....Just to prove a point. Smart one, you are!!! Hugs, dear. Hope all is well. I need to write one of these.
