Woodpeckers in Silence

The stench of puerile self-aggrandizement wafts through the air, a noxious cloud of platitudes and pomp, as the pusillanimous pustules of pseudo-intellectualism congregate to lavish accolades upon one another. How... amusing. The notion that these self-absorbed aesthetes, ye armchair sybarites, consider themselves arbiters of taste and talent, is nothing short of grotesque. And yet, here it persists, leeches on the cadavers of real artistry, perpetuating a vicious cycle of backslapping mediocrity, as they vomit forth oozing saccharine, cliche-ridden tripe, and elevate it to the status of holy scripture. Quaint indeed. The stench of their ignominy is almost... palpable. How does it feel to know that playing by the rules was your downfall, I said I would be the last poetess standing because I can do: abattoir hymns of crimson vortices shredding the children to rain sanguinary as viscera chunks hail from above. Sorry ai can’t touch me, it would freak out to even read that. I may not have won many contests, but oops. Hehe.

You're too funny. Surely you must realize that by exalting yourself and insulting virtually everyone else you're not going to get support or endear yourself to anyone. Then you will say, "I don't care if I get support or not!" Which then begs the question: Why post publicly if you don't want support and recognition? I say this because I care and I'd like to see your better writes get the support they are due. Maybe tone down a bit? Jus sayin

Who says I wanted support? Not me that needs support… Hence the anger… Poetry needs you and you do nothing… And you wouldn’t support anything anyways.. So I will do it alone like I have my entire life… you will like my new write
