Ultimatum

U nreasonable demand...." Poetry soup or me!"

L ove is not controlling, that I can guarantee

T roubling is your unpredictable demeanor

I llogical thinking, needed was an intervenor 

M anipulation one of your most deplorable traits

A busive verbally, you barricaded all debates

T houghtless trying to quell my poetry passion

U ncomprehending, you are without compassion

M istreated no more, I finally stood up for me!

Always hold yourself to your core values and fight to stay free. Never let anybody "own you"! Control freaks, I've met them before. I broke free as soon as was possible. Great acrostic, and a joy to see that you finally said--no more! A7.

If I'm not mistaken this is the second poem that you have written on this subject, Cecilia! So I take it that this is very real! Hope the illogical thinking will change to a more positive attitude. All the best. // paul

Bravo...the poet must write, despite the opinions of others, but sometimes I've found that a little constructive criticism, goes a long long way; especially when I've misspelled something...tee-hee.
