~serial reader

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.

[Frieda P]

Seems everybody does, thanks for your review Ally, true story by the way. :)

[Frieda P]

I concur, big pet peeve of mine too...thanks Brittany.

A notch above fluff's offense...killer line Mrs.R, but no shortage of wit and vitriol throughout...it's another one of those facets of your talent that eludes me, the ability to stir up so many strong emotions...sometimes I can get two in, but you seem to summon feelings that I never even knew I had...the whole thing is one delightfully unamused smirk, which is exactly what it left me with ;) x

[Frieda P]

Unamused smirk, how much do I love that? ;) Perfect, thanks sweetie! x

[kublakhan27]

Haha I guess I just know...are you surprised? ;) Always a pleasure love...xo

The bullshit meter really got me. I was not expecting that and when I saw it I busted out laughing. Can't say I have dealt with many serial readers but there is a guy I know, a friend actually, who reads 400 page books within possibly 7-8 hours. It upsets me. Not because he's fast at reading, but because he reads so fast that he never remembers anything about the book; which makes him useless in conversation. So I suppose he is a type of serial reader. Great poem though, I really liked the last line haha.

Everyone seems to enjoy the bullshit meter...if someone gives you a benign review in under a minute's time that has nothing to do with what you've written you'll know it, why bother if you haven't read it ...thanks for dropping in!

[Michael Thrower]

People want their review points. But for what if they won't actually review? Bullshit.

[J. K. Beach]

OMG, there really IS a bullshit metre? Too funny.

This poem is great, and gets the point across.

I thought it was perfect....

:D

[Frieda P]

Ha is there an echo in here? Yep there is, you need one sometimes...thanks!

[Matching Socks]

You copied and pasted me!
Is he reinforcing the point or was this coincidence?

[J. K. Beach]

It was my evil plan! Bah! Hah! Hah! Hah!

[Matching Socks]

Pfft, dude thinks he's some kinda super villain now...

[Frieda P]

Oh jaysus i hope he isn't sporting red tights!

[J. K. Beach]

I left this thread alone on purpose. Red tights, indeed! (Unless you're into that kind of thing ;)

[Matching Socks]

Not really but a cape is kinda cool.

[Frieda P]

You scared of us haha ;)

[J. K. Beach]

Where's that damn bullshit meter? Does it have a B.S. death ray attached?

[Frieda P]

HA you have to pay extra for that....

[Matching Socks]

OMG, there really IS a bullshit metre? Too funny.
I just took 10 minutes on one poem, maybe the less personal touch is better?

Nah...
I love adding my two cents in too much. :)

[Frieda P]

Ha you thought I was joshing ya? Mine has been on full tilt watching...ten minutes woo, how someone can do it in under a minute is a miracle. Don't bother if you're not going to read...btw I love your two cents :)

[Matching Socks]

I'll keep giving you my pennies then. :)

[Frieda P]

I was going to say pennies from heaven but that's so corny lol

[Matching Socks]

Lol! Yes, but I'm a chick, I love corny!

[Lyn Anderson]

OMG I love the BS meter! that is the best. Yes, it is amazing how someone can offer such accurate speed reading and heartfelt sentiments! This poem is great, and gets the point across.

[Frieda P]

Ha I thought it was perfect....I'm not amazed or amused ;) haha
