Wild Horse Poets
Like wild horses, we trample poems for fun?
Leaving no comment!
Is that our measure of another poet's heart treasure?
I read some phenomenal poetry today.
Horse poets left no comments.
Hundreds of them.
And shame on them!
Over dweebish poetry, we lick their
boots.
While true poets, with wisdom and
originality.
We ignore with obvious ignominy.
What is commenting really about?
Some use it at a stage to flaunt their
insipid intellectual prowess!
But the comment shows who you are,
a clown, nothing more!
Maybe reading poems is a race?
I do not play that game.
I won't comment if a poem is inhumane.
But, I think these orphaned poems are
truly a shame.
Some far better than some POTD's
Left, under a gravestone, silent!
You fast typists, especially, gee, can
you type at least one word?
Do not leave good poems without
recognition.
Or are we only commenting to contest
winners for our selfish recognition?

A very thought-provoking poem. Poets like Daniel Brick and Susan Williams spend a lot of time giving invaluable feedback. From them, we learn...and become much better poets. Others give useless feedbback...a waste of time. And then there are those very few who sting us with their poisonous words. I've learned to totally avoid them.
