(Bobby May Sr Poet)
Bogus I am not
Optimistic I am
Buoyant I float with laughter
Breaching some of the rules
Yonder as I watch
My thought’s aloof from poetry critics
A few seem to tough
You have become a poetry bully
Scrutinizing the heart
Renouncing the mind
Pretending you are better
Overseeing meanings
Eliminating the feelings
Trampling the heart
If you don't like what I write
Then let it be on me
Just please pass me by
And please leave me be
I just write for some peace
To try and smooth out some scars
I don't want to be cut
By your fence full of barbs
Just stop and think, why be so unruly
I would never go out of my way
To ruin your day
Stop being a poetry bully
