Notes About The Poem

Anyone else tiring of the petty quarrels on the Soup?

That's Poetry

Economy of language
       Rhythm and flow
     Heightened stylistics
       That's poetry, you know

     Metaphor, simile
       Allusions, imagery...

     Personal vendettas ~
       Unwelcome asymmetry

As we all know, there are a variety of poems ..... some very condensed like yours and some lengthy narratives... Each has its own plus and minuses.... Can't say which is better. However personal vendetta is abominable. Well presented dear Gershon

Right you are, Valsa. This is no place for personal vendettas -- or for 'pointing out faults' of others. No one here has been appointed 'judge!' Sweetness and Light, Gershon

Mine's an Italian Family -- that's our usual dinner table!:) Remember that skit with Imogene Coca & Sid Caesar? They were hilarious together. Well said, Gershon!

Trying my best not to let it get to me; but it is pretty maddening. :) gw

Hi! Gershon, I like your poem. Your have a gift putting your words on paper. I haven't been here that long to know what the issues are. I left Facebook because of the the trolling and trouble makers. Seasons Greetings ~ Debra

This could be subtitled "In defense of the defense of the defenseless"

Agree with Tom. Also, time to stop blaming. More space for every voice. Pangie

Yes, indeed, Gershon. We all are! I much prefer to read, write, and comment on poetry, which is what the site is for. But, I'm not going to be bullied on this site I paid good money for! We were all getting along so well until the trolls showed up!
