Ode To the Poet Who Writes Only To Piss People Off

All hail to thee love, your swave "eh" intrigues me. Your embattlements stack like wet cordwood upon the pile of used newspapers in my outhouse, making the use of a corn cob most appealing. I feel the need of purification, rejuvenation by fire. Like holding a match under your out stretched eyelid or maybe, just maybe sweeter, a cold sore on the inside of your lip; so neat on a dinner date. At least these things are real. The lip has to heal, which it can do even if left alone. Not like made-up words which have no direction, no qualitative analysis, and no meaning in the perceived circumstance or illustration. Just made-up words which fit a line, and you call it poetry? You schmooze a line of B. S. at the reader, in trite cliché and rusted phrasal tone, riding the pretense of the sublime and you call that poetry? But then geezzz...? what can you expect from someone whose only goal is to piss someone off?

Great verse! That guy reminds me of the one who asked me to write an invisable poem...I did and never heard from him again. Another such person spends hours marking my poetry with very low scores on another site, presenting himself as dozens of other people. There is always one in every crowd. Glad you are speaking out against such lack of character. Cynthia

I'm glad I read this, Charles. I love poems that speak to me, whatever the topic; "just made-up words", will never be poetry. Hope all is well. Love, annalise
