To Poetry World

To Poetry World

Have decided to drop out of my
poetry group. It is just a waste 
of time to me. All I do is always
receive criticism and complaints.

Only themselves poets were deluding
So all of them I now an eluding
In an effort to avoid a narrow mind
And all of them will be leaving behind.

Populations each seem to have a segment
Consisting of poems which were sent
To be elaborated then expanded upon
Trying to enjoy things and have fun.

So what if poet like me does not behave;
After they have led me to my grave
On my tombstone will be an inscription
Poems should be taken like a prescription. 

Up to what is all of this nonsense leading 
When each of my poems you are reading
At face value be sure to take each one
Realize what to poetry world I have done.

This is a deep and meaningful write, James. That first part is sad. It's not nice when what we write is not appreciated. Its good to voice your opinions this way. Thanks for sharing.

Eileen, I was really only feeling sorry for them and taking pity on them. All of this has worn me out so am cutting loose. I always enjoy and appreciate all of your thoughts and ideas. They are always meaningful and constructive. That is the whole essence of Poetry Soup. Jim Horn
