PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The trouble with "those" poets' "Woe is me,"

which they declaim so repetitiously

is that they seek some person's empathy;

with none of their own,  Immaturity,

even in adulthood, relentlessly

misleads them to mislead the score:

that, in poems like theirs, less is always more:

the Muse deserves far better poetry---

something more universal of expression

than some blog-sounding, journalized confession

as common sense retreats in full recession,

so that everyone else is held to blame

(if one believes what "woe is me" poems claim)---

but only those who write, thus, bear the shame.
