To anyone who cares to listen

A statement of fact concerning my own writing and comments made therein...


Poem Artwork

Too anyone who cares to listen…


 


Some newer members need to get a clue,


See that you may never become a member of the crew,


You might keep your instructional opinions to the self,


Only sharing them with on your shoulder your little elf…


 


I personally enjoy opinions that can me teach,


Though I write for my own enjoyment not to preach,


For the most part I like to hear myself make a speech,


Rhyme, meter & rhythm are mostly to me anyway out of reach…


 


My dog does have a following greater than mine,


If I do not allow him on the computer his time,


He barks and wakes me sometimes before nine,


He also does not care for certain opinions,


Him I would respect, as his teeth are bigger than mine…


 


For future reference,


I appreciate your reading me becoming your preference,


Normally I do to others treat with deference,


But sometimes I must just make my feelings known,


Please understand I am not here doing the groan and moan…

I'm glad that you and your dog Rufuz are teaching each other how to write and rhyme. That alone, is a miracle to behold.

It is not unusual to learn dog language, since we, the human knows how to initially bark on our own.

You forced me to find the offending comment and then look at the offender's posted work.
Didn't your Mama tell you, "Consider the source."?

"Rhyme, meter & rhythm are mostly to me anyway out of reach…" au contraire, Eddie M.

I saw the comments to which you gently and quite eloquently refer... you are right. Critique is one thing, but rudeness is just that... RUDE. Carry on with your 'rhyme, meter and rhythm...' we ARE amused. katy xox
