Whipped per Verse

poet at yer' worse

whupin' poet versus

critique exposure

at the stake

with pen and pad

as the stand below

is set ablaze fer'

the mordant tongue

used to state disdain

for thin defined

tradition and to use

a cliche on the sly

throw away poetry

crash upon the

metaphorical concrete

writers block landin'

with an onomatopoeia

in a puddle of ink

to make rocssa(sic)

interpretive analytical

finger nominy

for those who care to read

I cantered merrily through

I cantered merrily through the [with a yippee here and a hi-ho there], was brought to a juddering halt by 'onomonipia', declared it to mean 'onomatopoeia' and galloped to the finishing line whirling my stetson with one hand and with the other offering a big 'High 5' Hwyl fawr! Mike

I doubt if a single poet has never railed against

trite ignorant critics.You really want red ink? Could only correct some spelling errors. Don't forget the difference between the arrogant un-creative critics and those who respect your work and only offer humble suggestions cheers, Jess
