Premium Member He seems to be

He seems to be the pompous sort;
looks down his nose at us and snorts~
"your poems are subpar 
and only fit as char" ~
in the judgement of his self-made court!

Postscript: If the shoe don't fit don't try to put it on.

Premium Member Diamond - Reversible

I am a diamond
In the rough, I start
Like a chip left short, 
My subpar anatomy
I will not be defined by
What sparkles in the light
The dark spots fall within
Fear of failure like a lake
Against the currents, my head kept up, 
Watching my fate approach
I will not sit idly by
For Nothing cannot sit 
Inside these prism walls I stand
And then I begin again...

I Just Don'T Get English

It is pointless to write with dull pencils
When a pen keeps the sheep safe at night.

And water can flow from a hole in the ground
As long as the spring’s not too tight.

Cargo is sent from a shipyard
But a shipment can go out by car.

A wise man is often superior
But a wise guy is usually subpar

Tonight I will drive down the parkway,
Yet park in the driveway at home.

No wonder I can’t speak this language
It only makes sense in a poem!
