Not A Poet

'Twas a time in mid September
when the words of every member
seemed to start, or feed at least, a verbal fray.
Accusactions started flying
that the critics just weren't trying
to critique ... but in a kind and gentle way.

It's been stated "Just stop writing
words and verse so unexciting;
read a while, both good and bad, what others say."
Thus instead of journals surely
one might turn to writing purely
poetry all want to read ... a word bouquet.

Pete

With the greatest of respect you are the moderator (seemingly the ONLY moderator) of this forum, and while some interesting points regarding the way the forum is run are being made in Warmhrts thread you are pootling around sending messages in rhyming code in another thread.

Is that helpful?

Maybe you are just too busy to address the issues raised properly right now, but have sufficient time only to write a poem.

It would be nice to think that, if you care, as you said you did, at some point in the not too distant future you could quit riddling for a while and join the substance of the discussion with your own thoughts.

Most respectfully yours

Poetry comes first; and I think this sets a better example of how to approach and write poetry than some argument about how to do so.

I think it's a funny little poem. Unfortunately, something I've been learning the hard way...

Accusactions?

One could write another poem with just this neologism in mind.

Hey, why don't you?
