Listen to poem:

Screw It

I know some members feel like what's been described here but truly Poetry Soup is a wonderful site And I am glad to be a part. Thank you soupers.


To think I've been, in this soup
Probably a year
No matter how hard I write
I'm nowhere getting near
Rob I think I had it
And I'm really getting pissed
What the hell is going on
Why can't I make The List

There are a hundred poems
Wrote by just a few
It's always the same poets
There seems there's nothing new
Who's the one I have to pay
And what's the going fee
To put my poems at the top
The place they aught to be

I know, they hold back comments
In hopes that I won't stay
Secretly between themselves
They wish I'd go away
Outside of the click, I guess 
That's the way I'm being viewed
It's just not my great poetry
It's me that's being screwed

It matters not if the echo returns not to the rose whose effervescence radiates love as its quintessence
