A Poem by Frieda P
"

...

"
Serial reader, 
vanquishes each poem in under a minute
no anguish in his surmise, 
must have found god or gotten wise
infers greatness in copy & paste
same old metaphors of grace
a notch above fluff's offense
used to spew disgust on cue
now he's the candy man,
cat let out of the bag...
purrfect timing

hahaha love the bullshit meter! This poem is so sassy! I love the name that you put to the BS reviewers, serial reader- makes them seem sinister and manipulative :) I can honestly say there isn't anything I dislike about this poem, it was clever and well written the whole entire way through! It's true, the best reviews are constructive, and point out the flaws in the piece. As writers, there is always room for improvement.

Time to revisit this one, it was good then, even better now that the cat is out of the bag. I will miss his reviews. NOT!

Heh, "serial reader". That was a new one. "Purrfectly" tongue in cheek.

Thanks Danomaly, jazz'd you enjoyed my rant.
This was surprisingly good! The shape of the poem cannot be a coincidence! What is it? An arrow head?

I like this witty little gem you've put together here Frieda. It's got an interesting twist to it at the very end. Great work. A very unique & clever write. :)

Grazie mille Bpoet, jazz'd you enjoyed my rant! :)
OMG....I absolutely love this one, Frieda. I am a veteran of a few poetry sites and the comments and reviews that mean the most are not the cut and paste ones. Don't tell me my poem is "nice" or "lovely" or tell me it is great....give me some meat and potatoes. Give me some indication you have actually read what I wrote. You told them in this one, Frieda...you have earned your Joisey goil badge for the day! Love it. Lydi**

Ok I have to have the bullshit meter...I always did love the old meters...something about watching a needle move back and forth instead of some digital readout seemed more accurate.
Your right about not just copy and paste a review. They should read it and not just review.
