Poetry
poets my ass
By wt
30 March 2008
I can not but see the mirror’s reflection
Of wanna be poets
Disgusting
Stinking of vile mediocrity
How decadence has profusely scented the room
With way less than what a fly can gladly wollop
Down its tiny throat
As their enlightenment
Is shat on a world that looks with bright
Open eyed
Struck with awe
As they
Unchecked and unaccountable
But for a stinking melody
That bonds them together
As they pat each other on the back
Praising incompetence
I look upon this pool of vomit
Called GW talent
Some drunkard piss-reeking
Pompous tramp
Out for a laugh
Serious
Give a child a toy
Easy prostitute
For a few hits
Of your cocaine
No wonder
Interpretation
Translation
Always required
For those boycotting
Farts for Brains

Not a poet myself

But I don't think any poet or reader of poetry needs to be greatly affected by this piece of rubbish written in unintelligible language which makes no logical sense.

You have a point, wt - to a point. There are some awful poems on here. (Mine included - but then I make no claims to poetry) Perhaps you should do a little more reviewing and make your feelings clearly specific. There are some good poems and some truely excellent pieces too. You seem to be tarring all poets/poems here with the same brush - a lazy opinion, and incorrect. 
 
As for this piece: some interesting lines, but on the whole, the words seem petulent, immature and self consciously clever. Not a triumph. 'Vile mediocrity?' -worse.

lighten up phil 
there are more than one ways of farting! (or taking a shit, or burping...) 
 
thought that you for one would know what this refers to.. 
 
 
 
A Double Bluff?

Have you posted a bilious, bitchy poem in order to show us what a "Pool of vomit" can look like? 
If this were in response to recent events in the poetry forum, I'd say three steps backwards and none forward. 
No rythmn, vision or clarity, I'm afraid. 
Sorry. 
Eric.

Ah, sorry, misread - my apologies. :eek  
 
If you look through the poetry records there are a few written in the way I interpreted, I thought it was another one of those. 
 
Is there an embarrassed smilie thing? 
 
Now if only we could edit our reviews!

yes old timer there is a smile 
not embarrassed though certainly wide 
enough to know that you can't hide 
from what the line refrains

A poem or a cryptic display of insults? 
This kind of stuff just gets me paranoid but maybe that is the intention :?

funny how insults to many 
are like a blessing in disguise 
paranoia aside 
I enjoyed the ride (ie one of your poems) 
 
serious not cryptic 
but not too sadistic 
only the poet's repast 
 
can filter rubbish  
from elses who dream "publish" 
and tell the first from the last 
 
understand if you may 
speak only to say 
thanks for the hint I'm really aghast

I can not but see this is a load 
of non sense 
read by a fly who can write 
A would be master piece 
on the back of a stamp 
But makes know sense 
be cause It only reeds hindi 
where as I speek english. 
Yet I can see that it is 
a fly who would gladly 
ex-change his warm farts 
for cold, calculating brains.
