Who the hell do you think you are Being SO judgmental You're looking down your nose at me Acting fundamental The "truth" that you and chastity are both synonymous Is really quite an travesty It's rather quite obnoxious Instead of throwing stones my way Peer at a looking glass and then if what you see's a saint Then pelt those stones with class for all that you accuse me of is what you do as well you live a life devoid of love give others taste of hell I'm mad; I'm mad; I'm over steamed I'm really livid too For you're a sinner, just like me You know, my dear, it's true!!! Eileen Manassian Thanks Andrea for getting my "angry" muse to speak. Inspired after reading Andrea's entry for Mad as a Hornet Contest.

AWesome, Eileen. You have every right to feel this way!! while mine was all joking. haha I'm going to be gone a while for holiday. But can't wait to get back and see my friends' wonderful poems! by the way, if you enter in this contest, it has to be sonnet form. All you need to do to make it that form is change last quatrain to a rhyming couplet! (oh and have 16 lines)

NO....that's alright. I won't join it in the contest. I haven't been writing for contests for some time. I've been on less, but thanks for the advice. Have a good holiday, dear.

How true your words, dear Eileen! Most of the people judge others because they have neither the wisdom nor the will to change themselves thus find it easier to criticize others! Your Muse does equally well with all feelings!

Thank you, my dear poet. I take the blame when blame is due me....Others are not as forthcoming and hide the truth. Varethinka....mipos prepi na mino makria ap'etho....Filakia
