WC's Battle Cry

A cry to arms echoes creatively

Spreading across the mythical realm

With visionary general OT at the helm

Imagery flies across the white screen

As stunning talent burst at the seams

 

While Muse passes secret messages

To each member in the poetic war

Swords slashing popularity at its core

Duplicate profiles will be torn down

Imagination the victor wearing the crown

 

Genius metaphors fall from the sky

As monroester thunders his booming voice

Where reading crapocalypse is a choice

Slinging slimy words into the daunting night

Allowing brilliance to soar in flight

 

A claymore wielding poetic beauty

Swings her words across the page

At inconsiderate teens, with fire and rage

Dedicated writers take a verbal stand

Stabbing with pens and notebooks at hand

 

We are here with ideas to convey

Not to cheat and bribe our way to the top

This multiple personality profiles must stop

Battle screams for love of the word

Resound our passions need to be heard.

 

 

 

Author's Note

there are many I wanted to mention in this poem but that would have taken forty pages so simply know you are all thought of as talented.

Very skillfully penned stanzas PB. I see you have given this poem an airing from when it was first posted thirteen years ago. Much before my time, but a reminder perhaps that things haven’t changed a great deal. I guess life moves in cycles. A wonderful arousing battle cry from your talented pen.

A little different then. People would make multiple account to move themselves and their work to the top writer spot or top reviewed. Some trolls back then but not like now.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I too grow tired of the things you write of, weary of being suspicious and just plain tired. We are here to write and read the work of our peers, not play games.

[SpokenWord]

I absolutely love your style of writing and how you are able to capture the meter and rhyme in each line. It is flawless as your pen sends a clear message from the side of art and creation. I am not into the popularity contest or multiple pages or even notice it really. I just enjoy the poems I read and the poets I get to meet. Excellent write this is wonderful~

Very clever write. Also amusing and very true. One of the stanzas reminds me of Sybil, but there are many others out there playing games and writing crap...lol
