Critiquing Pathetic Members
02/24/2012 08:40 p.m.
The odd comment on a typo may be spurt,
but to grade their work would be berserk.

They should not seek critique in poems that
are neither weak nor bleak but utterly unique.

Who am I to tear the rug from beneath the feet
of those above in skill and words and talking love?

They juggle wit and declare pain and drag me through their suffering;
play songs and dance within the rain and help me to go wondering,
within my mind, and pondering the great divine.

To tell them to change a phrase or strike a word
is simply lunacy and quite absurd.

So instead I give them just desserts
and offer courts of praise and flirty words.







I am currently Affectionate
