Self-Critic

[Delta40]

Tear your poem into strips
till it reads like,
pro
pa
gan
da
with a bad hair day.
You dare ask if you can make worse
an atrocity such as this?
Methinks not!
Nor will it improve by using
your left hand
or the foot of a rotting corpse.
You scribble blah in circular patterns
which go round and around -
Your petty rhymes
are sure signs
that I must repeat myself
over and over
till at last there is only the dead
to speak ill of.

Oh! so self-cruel! I plead this author's cause!

I think someone wants to see if anyone is paying attention :)

pro

gan

indeed!

I truly thought this was a solid poem. Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't meant to be taken as a serious poem, but the final 6 lines were wonderful, a solid way to end the poem.

paying paying, but reads like intended - pro-po-gan-da. No?

Oops! I liked the
pro
po
better than the
pro
pa
but I edited it anyway
