The Evil Critiquer I got the news today. It seems my rhyme is out of style. I'd hate to see it go. We've been together quite awhile. The messenger was qualified. Lord knows I don't blame her. As if to make amends she said I had strong character. I've found that strength in character is something that you get endeavoring to persevere when things have gone to shit. This critiquing Dame among us exceeds all but a few. But if she takes my rhyme from me, pray tell what shall I do? A way to ease my tortured mind when nothing seems to fit. A source of inspiration, an outlet for my wit. I guess it goes to show The Link is no place for the weak. And to Madame Critiquer know I say this tongue in cheek. It's been a good reminder of something I should have known. Fulfillment comes within you. In this world you stand alone. For healing or conviction, entertainment or for show. To all my fellow poets I say "Go for what you know". Though I may not always praise you when I take the time to read. It's different strokes for different folks. We all feel the same need. And to the source of inspiration that these lines are due. When's the last time you had poetry written just for you? Don't fret or start to worry that of you I might be fond. I'm just tugging on your chain. This'll teach you to respond. And as for your suggesting that I should give up my rhyme. Be patient! I'm still teething. Give me just a little time. Someday I might grow up to be a poet laureate. But that will come much later. I'm not ready for that yet. The fact I'm in no rush to grow shouldn't be a crime. So if it's all the same to you, I'll just enjoy my rhyme. |
