Premium Member They Hate Donnie

Happy Donnie with hair of tawny
Delivering his speech quite bonnie
Critics take him to task
For not wearing a mask
Less love than for even old Ronnie

Knowledge

Knowledge mimics power
Conquered falseness levels

Flattened social meaning
Stops as study strengthens

Smiles embedded surface
Mighty critics vanish.

"sssh!"

There was a pilot called bush
Who flew by the seat of his tush,
   His job was so tricky
   That he listened to dicky
And silenced his critics with shush!

E Mail Error

I tried to join,
Give critics review,
For the poem I read,
It went a skew,
Tried to submit,
Just what I thought,
But it errored out,
And all was naught.

Critical Thinking

Being criticized never tasty
But in critics, we need to be greedy
Improving personality to add ability
Since opportunity nowadays meeting scarcity

Men are attracted
To all that jiggles
But ladies prefer
Something that wriggles
So critics extolled
Exquisite squiggles
And God collapsed
In a fit of giggles!

it wasn't so much the nudity on stage
that shocked the critics
more his inability
in a world where water was scarce
to sing somewhere else
than under his shower

On Critics

Never mind, Vincent, what they say.
 Go on and paint your sunflowers,
 And your swirling, starry skies.
 Those who can, you know, must do;
 And those who can't must criticize.

Resistance

For as long as we stand tall 
Critics will always crawl 
They gave me no option 
Pushed me against the wall
Hoping for my withdrawal 
But I stood tall 
And kept giving my all

Happy birthday, Sister Sheila, 
The critics love your performance; 
You look relaxed on camera,

Premium Member I Think I'll Go AWOL

    Poor me
      It’s plain to see
    My poetry’s flat

      a bit after nightfall
    Silence my critics ~
      no end to it all

Present Perfect

Verse sublimation
skipping the will
Centering the message
critics are chilled

Listening to silence
voices dethroned
Freeing the moment
— tomorrow on loan

Premium Member Nothing

If gently bidding S.H. adieu
  Makes Gal Gadot an ableist,
Then her hypersensitive critics
  Are nothing if not labelists.


Note:  S.H. stands for the late, great physicist, Dr. Stephen Hawking.
