I am the better poet
I can prove
By higher tones
Elastic words
Which bend
My message
Deeper thought than common brewed
Among the many authors
Read
My trend
Profound
Prolific
Prodigious
So you know
When it comes to verse
To rhyme
And all such words combined
I am a pro
Some pitch balls
And others hold the bat
But when it comes to poems
I've got balls
To juggle
and hold
The hat!
So tap your own to me when you walk by
I am
And watch me be it
As I write
I make my thoughts
Fly high
Alike a kite
and if you think you're better
Come and fight
And prove
But rest assured you'll lose
I am the best
Of poets
I excel above the rest
Unless you're dead
Well then
I can't contest

"Striking thoughts make my mouth thunder as I brain storm."

This isn't the poetical Indy 500, bub, there are no races to see who is best here. Just write your poems and quit getting into everybody's face.

I wrote
and wrote
and wrote
and wrote some more until my waste basket was full to overflowing and I couldn't best you Kent, in all my efforts.

I concede...

You are SuperPoet!

I'm pleased to see that you looked at it with humor yann. It was intended to be such.

It takes a sense of humor to see into this. Agitation is a product of insecurity that obviously is the antithesis of humor.

Besides, Kent violated no policies I know of and no moderator took umbrage with it either.

I may should rather have dedicated this poem with a caption entitled (satire of pride)

No Kent, I don't think so. After all, people will make something out of anything they wish, either good or bad, funny or sarcastic. Just don't try any critical attitude crapola yourself "bub", or you could be email boycotted for at least a week (or until the Prozac kicks in)

This you already know. I just like to say it. Personally I like your writings and look forward to more as you will.

Okay. I didn't know this poet before I read this. I suppose I have all sorts of hang ups because I thought he was coming on in a spiteful way. Sue me. I didn't understand. So I was wrong. I admit it. I was wrong. Lighten up. I'm also insecure I guess.

Jerry sir! I believe we all have all sorts of hang ups. I guess that is the whole point of this piece. Pride is a vicious thing. But thank you for expressing any thoughts you have about my work. I didn't post this to snare anyone. But poetry can certainly entangle the hearts and minds of others! Cheers to you and your work and all of your thoughts... "May they be ripe in seasoned and seaosoned right" this goes to all my piptalk peers.
