~serial reader

Serial reader, 

vanquishes each poem in under a minute

no anguish in his surmise, 

must have found god or gotten wise

infers greatness in copy & paste

same old metaphors of grace

a notch above fluff's offense

used to spew disgust on cue

now he's the candy man,

cat let out of the bag...

purrfect timing

hahaha love the bullshit meter! This poem is so sassy! I love the name that you put to the BS reviewers, serial reader- makes them seem sinister and manipulative :) I can honestly say there isn't anything I dislike about this poem, it was clever and well written the whole entire way through! It's true, the best reviews are constructive, and point out the flaws in the piece. As writers, there is always room for improvement.

[Frieda P]

Seems everybody does, thanks for your review Ally, true story by the way. :)

[Jack Cassidy]

I suppose you'd be calling out a few d-bags with this one. I've noticed how well you're able to pair up your poems with pictures that seem to advance/distract your readers ideas of the poem... I need to start doing things like that... and that ain't no bullsh!t... It's so unfortunate when you realize someone is lying to your face (in this case via internet) about your artwork... You'd really rather have them not say anything at all... I resonated with this one a lot...

[Frieda P]

A few, if the shoe fits and all that jazz...I don't care if you don't read me, but don't throw fluff in my face just for the sake of a review, I concur, thanks Kusa.

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Yeah good one. The bull s**t meter was a hoot.
Poem is clever and well thought out.
Great

[Frieda P]

Thanks Mad, that bullshit meter is a hit!

[Happy hours]

It happens actually.....Serial readers be aware, you're in the vision of the peoples :D well written

[Frieda P]

Ha, I can see you're paying attention too....thanks :)

[wordman]

well I guess I`m guilty of the bull s**t meter or stupidity because most of the stuff I read I have no dam idea what it is about and no one gives a realistic description of the write

[Frieda P]

That's totally different Ron, some poetry isn't meant to be understood by the reader, just an extension of the poet...if you've read it, then you're good to go..............

[wordman]

well that's a relief I thought I was just stupid lol

[Frieda P]

No way...people read into poetry from their own perceptions & perspectives, unless it's totally straightforward. Sometimes I don't even comprehend my own stuff ;) haha

[Claire in VA]

Go ahead with the sarcasm!
I've noticed that some of the
reviews say almost the same
thing in each one! It's almost
like a few folks just review to
see how many they can review
in a day, instead of reading
and understanding. It almost
irritates me, but then I have a
change of heart because maybe
they truly are unable to understand.
I don't know. Anyhow, I try really hard
not to be one of those! By the
way, love the bs meter!!!!
AWESOME POEM!!
Claire

[Frieda P]

I'd go with your first guess...ha, no way can someone read and review in under a minute, then go on to the next target, I don't care how fast you read....I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice it....thanks Claire!

[Dayran]

I hate doing reviews in a cow pasture ... its hard to say where the poem ends and the meaning begins.

Thks again Tate ...

[Frieda P]

That's too funny, what an apt way to put it....thanks so much...

[Madalyn Beck]

Hahaha! Love the bullshit meter, Frieda! This is so very true. Take time to sit, ponder, and absorb the words. Great pen! xo :)

[Frieda P]

Everyone loves the bullshit meter! Thanks Mads, I knew you'd see it my way ;) xo

[Relic]

It goes without saying I've seen people like this here. At times their reviews are obvious but for the most part I haven't been too offended in what I've gotten. So far....

[Frieda P]

Hmm I know, you wrote about it in your WC piece....one of them anyway, there are so many ;)

[Sophy Freebirds]

This poem left me with stomach ache.. :D ha.. i couldn' t stop laughing... A very refreshing poem... Made my day. LOVED the sarcasm Freida..

~Sophy

[Frieda P]

Sarcasm, moi? haha...thanks, jazz'd you got a few chuckles out of it Sophy.... :)

[Sophy Freebirds]

Yep n***a you.. ;) but no worries it was harmless

[Cory Barrett]

I want to leave you a bullshit review to go with this. You know the ones that go like this:

-I really like the wording and the meaning here.
-Wonderfully penned with metaphor that is deep.
-Pleasing to the soul and the mind.
-Great write!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-.......................:)..........................
-Etc.

You know stuff like that

[Frieda P]

You got it in one! Exactly.... I'm glad I'm not the only one....
