We all know,
Here resides,
Eagerly critquing,
Rather, I say ravashing
Everyone's poems, one named Brad.

I say though, where is he?
Seen not have I much of his work,

But I mean not to offend.
Rather I mean to draw him out,
And hear a bit of his verse.
Do post again soon, Brad.

You've got to comment on how bad this one is, and I know that you will.

What does
He know anyway?!?
Everytime he
Ravages my work I wonder if he is just
Enjoying himself or

If he really thinks my poems
Stink.

But I suppose it takes a smart a** to
Recognize a smart a**
And Brad, we are truly a dying breed.
Don't change a thing Brad, atleast until I write something you like.

Really good idea, Roxanne.
Our mutual friend will appreciate this, he will surely not regard you as a
Xanthippe (wow, that took some digging!)
And, when he reads this, he will
Not be able to resist a smart-alecky comment ... He may
Even threaten to sue!

Good job, Roxane. Keep them coming.

Yes, it is a horrible poem. You've twisted all the words to fit your acrostic instead of working to get the two to work together.

But what's even worse is the topic you chose. Can anyone think of a more boring topic than some balding drunk who thinks he knows how to read and write poetry, who spends most of his time telling people what to do when half the time he doesn't know himself? The only good thing about this guy is the woman he married (I fooled her, you know). There are far more important and interesting things to write about than pompous, insecure, airheaded, little old me.

I loved it.

Thanks guys,
Brad

Brad
Apparently I was unaware,
Like most others of your
Disorder: hair loss?
Is it true?
Never, I don't believe it
Going, going, gone?
