It's sometimes easy to forget we've all got our own agendas on here...what type of poetry we want to write and read, our definitions of poetry and what it can be, how our different experiences and worldviews affect our interpretations.
The reasons we write and what we hope to get from it are all as varied as life itself.
Little groups of mutual appreciation will naturally form but hopefully nobody will be left alone for too long (unless they're blatantly obnoxious arseholes of course  . Sorry, I was just getting too lovey dovey. |

"Some see their poetry
etched in the skies
where poems are written
with stars in their eyes"
^^^My favourite part.
Once again you have created a great poem without the use of cryptic metaphors. Bravo! |

Nathan makes a good point. We all use GW for different things and in different ways - and not just the poets.
Little groups etc...... yes, but I would hope they remain honest. Groups form more from mutual respect than admiration. They are not quite the same thing.
As far as nemesis goes - I hope to push mine further away every time.

Respect!

Thank you all, Rob, Mike and Phil!
I was just annoyed by a bit of arrogance that popped up lately.
I found it intimidating, though luckily not to me personally, to the extent that I posted this perhaps rather unwise piece.
I hope you get my drift?
I'm not usually like this . . .
Cheers!

| John, it is doubtful if you will get a response from the elitist few to your poem, but for the rest of the writers here, what you have said is correct. "Arrogance" is the correct word. What Phil has said, and he has noticed it also, is absolutely correct and I have to agree with you all. It is a pity but there it is. Canadian Bacon is also right, but coming down to earth is hard for some of them. |

I thought this was quite beautiful as well as humourous. The fall of the Hubris, and the rise of the Nemesis - what a thought! There is so much of the romantic in you, John. I wonder if there are poems you've written but don't share it???

Sorry! No. Josie!

Sorry to say this, Josie, but I think you've got me wrong this time - my fault for trying to be 'clever-clever'.
Ha!
This celebrates the 'elite few' ( NOT 'elitist' - no names!) and warns others against unwarranted attacks.
I am defending my friends here (amongst whom you yourself take your rightful place as head of the table).
I was annoyed by a recent bit of Hubris from someone or other . . .
'nuff said.

Everyone has their place

Kantanga No matter who belongs the face
Everyone's entitled to their place
Some write to reveal,share feeling and heal
Other's write though they won't reveal
greatness is what they wish to achieve
Some of us are really witty
writing funny ditties
Pretty words from pens do gush
From romantics writers like us
To play judge and jury I'd never rush
understanding and tollance
These are the things I push
Some poems are so high falutin
in my view
I don't feel qualified to review
I may not have the intelligence or learning of some
But the one thing I learnt respect has to be earned
So I live and let live
RESPECT my friend I you give
With hope I have yours too |
Respect!

Violet - Thank you so much!
What a review! Pheeeeeeeew!
You've written a whole long poem in response to my feeble effort.
You are so right - I just got cross with someone.
Your review means a lot to me . . .
Cheers!
Love,
