A long way to heaven for poets

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

A long way to heaven for poets.



I posted a review of your poem
then my review got reviewed
and so on and so on

until the original poem
ended up in limbo
no one remembered 
who wrote what, when and why

"ignore grammar and spelling" was said
somewhere along the line
or at the beginning of the rope
that eventually hung the poet

with a wry smile
and several reveiws layter.

You, jacob, could turn a pillow-case inside out and convert it into one of your poems - in fun time too! You seem able to touch funny bones as well as minds and hearts, sir. May your Friday be a peaceful and chuckling one.

Was that my review? Or was that my poem? I loved this one Jacob only a true poet could end it the way that you did. I hope that this review does not result in the same outcome.

ignore grammar and spelling I would never say, they are important. Reviewing the review made me smile. Some poems generate conversation. I am guilty of this myself. You are so funny and clever. You had the last word here dear J. Way to go:)

Guilty i am afraid especially with a few poets here who have become friends over the years, chit chat tends to happen on reviews...
