My poetry is so good
It makes people cry!
(It's not true what they say
They cry because they wish I'd stop!)
It makes people cry!
(It's not true what they say
They cry because they wish I'd stop!)
My poetry is so good
It gracefully flows!
(It's not true what they say
It's more like being at the elephants' hop!)
My poetry is so good
The imagery lights up your mind!
(It's not true what they say
It reminds them more of a wet mop!)
My poetry is so good
The rhymes sparkle and glow!
(It's not true what they say
It's more like end-of-the-line clippity clop!)
My poetry is SOOO good
Oh, yes, it is!
It's not true what they say
It's an awful flop!

Post a CommentDon't sell yourself short, Mary. You are awesome (I still cry whenever I read your "The Pretend Easter Bunnny" poem/story). However, I still understand where you're coming from; I, too, am my own worst critic!
;-)
Hi Rene, thanks for the kind words. In this poem I tried to work with hyperbole and practice humor and exaggeration. It was fun, but I think I need to practice some more!
Mary, your poetry IS good..Sometimes, I also wonder if I am as really good as people say that I am. I have to believe that I am, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it at all. The ability to write is a God-given gift. However, writers, like all other artists, should accept the compliments with gratitude and humility.
