You Poetry Reviewers

You poetry reviewers sitting high on your opinions, 

                  placing us on your literary skewers. 

                  Stuffing us like turkeys, with synonyms and antonyms,

                  forbidding all clichés.

                  You roast our images and tear us apart, 

                  then reject us by claiming, "you're just not avant-garde."

                  How can you really judge another one's art,
              
                  when we open up our soul, to expose our heart?                .

                  Your words are harsh, and your critique vain.

                  You write sadistic views to bring others down in pain.                    

                  If we could have a glimpse inside your mind,

                  we would all be shocked to see you're literarily blind.

Sandy Mason November 25, 2013 at 5:13 PM Linda, you are welcome to use it,. Thank you for the welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. There is a story behind it, and why I wrote it. It has to do with another poetry forum that I visited and wrote some poetry on. They were snobs and thought they all were Walt Whitmans, when all they were was wannabees, in my opinion. They crucified my poetry and said it wasn't fit for the bathroom walls. So I left the forum, posting this piece of poetry. Lol. Sandy
