The Bad Review

The Bad Review

A Poem by Thomas Fitzgerald
"

A look at what we writers lend ourseleves to daily!

"

What are you trying to say here?

No writing should make one so sad,

No guiding and I can't read you so,

My God can't you pen a piece not bad.

 

 

This verse is broken, soft so unpalatable,

You rank arrogant amateur can you spell,

How prying eyes will ever mock you here,

Daring masters to run from lofts to hell.

 

 

Slice those "writers" wrists quickly and smart,

Be aware these words will cut you near,

Just stop and never leave that hovel,

You wreak a sudden desperate horrid fear.

 

 

Ah the eloquent words of the hated people,

How you love to hide behind a written top,

Hurt me today yet never leave a lasting remark,

For I bind like a trusted book - full stop.

There is a line... it lies somewhere between dishonest syrupy fawning and utterly hateful knifing. we all pretty much know where it is, but some always prefer one from the other.

Honestly, your words here are spot on in that I understood and relate. In my reviews I do my best to be constructive, for to be destructive is to take from the world without giving, to create darkness, and leave a mark that is ugly and smells funny.

Great ending. The thing I have learned most is that I am not trying to please others with my writing. I write for myself as my own personal outlet, so I could care less when people are especially rude. However ,to each his own opinion, right?
Don't let the b******s get you down!

I agree! x
Thomas, i have a new found and enduring respect for you after reading this biting and cleverly satirical piece, which grasps the venomous snake by its scaly slimy body and lops off its nasty and ugly head. this one is an automatic favorite in my library and i will read it every time i get that angst from stinging arrogance from now on. well done, poet!!!!
