I think you have captured the atmosphere around the Cafe in recent weeks. It had already started when I got here, and it leaked all over the place.
Hopefully...(crossing fingers) it is over now.
I
hope.
Very well written...and I'm sure Baby Ricochet won't mind...too much!!
very interesting read!satire with its own philosophy...
on the lighter note...sometimes it may also happen that while fighting one slaps a pun & the other a joke..extending their way to humor,laughter,silly leg-pulling & a great friendship but the end won't be Syria it'd be like two people fighting in the last bench (in a classroom)& giggling..just like two people having fun in their corner but not letting the armed world know lest it should tear them to pieces!
A witty rebuke to all those who try to belittle our efforts to express ourselves. It also carries a serious point, linking war with a dispute over a poem. Sometimes the reasons for waging both are equally trivial.

Thanks John for stopping by, too many egos here sometimes! Take care!
this is written with a wry smile...but there is so much truth, the wars on poetry sites can be as devastating as any physical war.
the barbs, the vicious attacks on our creativeness...it can be discouraging as losing a war's lopsided battle...
and then it leaves the poet thinking..."where do i go from here? or do i even try?"
i have seen too many poets give up the craft because of getting blasted by mean reviewers with no tact.

Thanks Jacob, sometimes gets crazy on this site ! Take care!
written in a comical fashion yet as the poem develops the physical realities and self image/definition/evaluation become more sinister, I really like the way you have used
your language, I'm still trying to understand what you mean by 'fragile'??
Perpetual breakdowns? Losing your marbles? Language skills and abilities to function in the ways that you would wish to?
lolz, I'm sure Richochet was flattered. I think the best way to get rid of the people on WC you don't like is just to block them, it seems to work pretty efficiently :) I like your poem and surely all of us can relate, this is WC after all.
