"OK you hate my work I am a jerk / I grant them as I head for AuthorsDen / Public house of poets women and men / Who read my poems with an open mind"

*Twenty-Eight Lines of Love for AuthorsDen:* *A Punk Poet Finds Paradise* *What is the point of writing anything* *When as a result all I do is bring* *Trouble on myself and disapproval?* *It seems diplomacy is not for me* *I post and then scramble for removal* *Before international incidents* *Spiral completely out of my control* *I thought only PMs and presidents* *Had to worry about selling the soul* *All my sly humor is misunderstood* *My work is judged as tasteless and no good* *English as a second language is hard* *An uproar and offense is the result* *If you fail to sound like a greeting card* *The more trouble I have with difficult* *People the more of a punk I become* *Everything I write offends somebody* *I throw down my pencil and turn on some* *Loud T. S. O. L. Ramones or The Clash* *Scream along and forget all the ruddy* *Complaining all the bloody explaining* *OK you hate my work I am a jerk* *I grant them as I head for AuthorsDen* *Public house of poets women and men* *Who read my poems with an open mind* *While punk bands from my speakers scream and crash* *I feel what it is like to be alone* *But here at least I feel that I am known* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV* *for my friends at AuthorsDen*

I think all us misfits have a home and a family in each other so you are not alone Steve.

Cheers,
