Poetry Dating

Her face was cute, but oh my God,
	her poetry was bad!;
and to my shock I soon found out
	a fact that made me sad.
There must have been forty guys
	who in comment did praise,
which made me wonder what they’d read
	to set their minds ablaze.
They gushed and fawned as one whole troop
	in seeking her attentions,
therefore I doubt it was her words
	that earned so many mentions.
Some readers there I must admit
	find poems to them excite,
But there are others who surely think
	this is a dating site.

Excellent observational piece, Jim! Love the use of "ablaze" too.

LOL, so Funny Jim. I know lots of couples from Poetry Soup. I wonder if it's a good thing. I don't know? A good friend got married to his Poetry Soup Sweetheart 5 years ago. His poetry is bad, but her poetry is awesome. Fine write. SKAT

Thanks. Sometimes I see a simple thing and say to myself, "that might be a humorous poem, maybe with an underlying theme as well." And I love when people laugh.

I'm sure there is no reason to hide, unless you are subjected to nonstop admirers. I am glad it made you smile.

Haha.Your last few lines reminds me of what I've seen here sometimes. Ladies with beautiful pictures get a bit of attention.

There are a few commenters that I see in just about every female's comment boxes. Or so it seems.
