Performance Poets Poem by DM W

O those poets who like to make the biggest noise,
And attempt to dazzle us with their modern toys,
Do not necessarily have a way with words.
Alas, at times they seem to be rather absurd.
What they lack in diction, form and structure, they make
Up for in shock value and all that irritates.
Indeed, they are often vile of tongue; slow of wit.
As the Immortal Bard once wisely quipped:
'..full of sound and fury signifying nothing! '
Appears to aptly sum up their predicament.
They constantly speak of myriad, senseless things,
And believe their spurious gifts are heaven sent.
O those poets who like to make the biggest noise
Are so similar to obnoxious girls and boys.
