Poetry Haters

I write partly in jest and also to vent
To fend off the haters about my poetic rant

I acknowledge that not everyone
Has the ability to see
The visions I view
And the soul within me

I shall laugh and not tirade
For your right wing stance
Don't shit on my parade
For the length of my lance

I can reach far and wide
With words that few adore
To elicit a knee jerk response
Soliciting creates my rapport

Be careful where you tread
For my pen is mightier than the sword
I shall drown you with a proverbial flood
Translated to paper, transcribed in my blood.

  1. Dan, so nice to see you writing again. I look forward to more! I really, really enjoyed this poem and especially loved the ending. Yes, the pen is mightier than the sword. :). Screw the "poetry haters!" ~ Lauren
