Scream Of An Ugly Butterfly Comments

Rating: 5.0

My spelling is quite atrocious
And my grammar is perplexing
I'm not literately ferocious

I've not been lauded for my ideas To which I'm told their all quite trite And my spark light is just average For a genius that's not so Bright. Poetry writing has catharsic effect it is true. Writing becomes medicine. sometimes it is better than taking all kinds of chemicals in the form of tablets. tony

I know how you feel Leeann, I think its a related human feeling, that's why I think art exists as a spiritual band-aid that gives us a small reprieve. I look forward to reading your latest work! .

Actually Sally I was inferring to people in general, men, women, trans or those undecided. In general I was referring to myself and all those who live in societies margins. Hope all is well.

PROBABLY damned, not dammed, BUT............you did type: My spelling is quite atrocious! ! Now, at the risk of annoying you: For I write just too survive.........to your stated Topic of anger doesn't 'work for me'. but i have a 'good PH friend', James McLain, formerly Is It Poetry, who always (i think) uses green for a topic, no matter the actual topic, AND he, too, is spelling-disabled at times. ha ha. bri :)

Yes sometimes we do just for the therapy. What a great outlet. A pressure release valve to stop one from steaming himself to oblivion. Good write and very relatable

Love these lines... My meters rarely rhyme which is a poetic crime, A larceny in artistry. I love how after you say those lines you go on to give the example of how that don't rhyme in the manner you described. To me this poem comes across as sort of a sarcastic humorous approach to a self defeating attitude but then again you are quite content with who you are and realize that how you do things isn't the social norm which makes you proud of who you are and how you write and that most of all is something I can appreciate. The title also says alot because from the larva you came and have gone through that metamorphosis evolving and growing as you adapt and fly over the world around you.
