The Poetry Police

Oh, woe is me
the blog gurus
won't let me post a thread!

I must have sinned
some grievous way,
to them I guess I'm dead!

I wished to post
a comment on
a poem that I had read.

McMongrel has
been banned from here
their cryptic message said!

Whom have I angered?
I know not,
I wait each day in dread.

My well developed
paranoia now has been
well fed!

That CIA file
has caught up !
Oh my, 'tis such a burden.

Then there's the fact
my brother dear
wears a great big white turban!

Perhaps we poets
should not rebel.
We must go by the rules!

I guess Corso
and Kerouac, and Burroughs
all were fools.

So I'll kow tow
to the gods who
run this great web site.

In me they've put
the fear of god,
I tremble now with fright.

Perhaps they'll grant
mercy to me!
They might give me a pass.

If not I'll simply
have to say
(Oh, darn! What was that rhyme again? Oh, man, it was so perfect. It had something to do with...was it donkey's? No.... Kissinger? No, that makes no sense. Maybe somebody in a post can make a suggestion. I mean, just because I can't seem to get into the critique sections is no reason for people not to make suggestions as to how I can improve my writing.)

Good write!! Very

Good write!! Very expressive. You have poetic licence to write whatever you like as far as I know. If subjects are graphic/explicit/profanic then just put that in the tag is my opinion. Let people make up their own mind. Last line could be

They can shove it up their arse

Ha ha, enjoyed this rant! will have to look out for more of your work. Great piece!

Really??

lol, too funny. Did you really get banned because you used the word ass? I used it in my "World of..." poem, and they haven't banned me yet...

What really happened is that

What really happened is that I have been trying to post on the critical poetry site and I can't get on. It says I have no privileges. It might be that I haven't registered properly, but I have done everything I thought I was supposed to do. I've also sent them several e-mails, but have received no reply, and so I decided to subject them to the wrath of my rhyming meter. Besides, maybe one of the gurus will see the poem and clue me in on how to access that site.
P.S.
Obama's really kicking butt, isn't he!

lol

Oh ok, well good luck with that. And about Obama, yeah, it's amazing. We just have to cross our fingers and hope that the media, which has coddled him thus far, doesn't turn on him in the months leading up to the general election.
