Poemranker I Couldn't stay Away (Ode) by Tara57

(I want to compose a poem and I want you all to rip it apart claw it into small pieces so you may swallow down without choking I have missed your dissatisfied attacks all other poetry websites are kitschy and bland) Welcome me back with your daggered words welcome me back into this dark elitists world My fellow losers, rapists, homophobes, sexists, machiavellian masochists. I come to you bearing spilt wine and ruined rhyme all for you to undermine all for you But donât think I won't open my mouth donât think I wonât scream out My steps arenât wary this time so come on you decide Bring everything you got against my fitted frame I will drink it down possessed in this game

-Zodiac either you are completely misunderstanding me or I am not making myself clear.

I was in no way being defensive to your remarks about my poem. If anything I was trying to take your very abrasive response to my first comment and lighten it.

What I meant by I still don't care, is that I understand that I have grammatical errors in my poetry but the way you have attacked me for them in the past has made me less want to improve and more want to ignore you. Not for your criticism which was justified, but for your character. However, that is in the past now. I was bringing back or old argument about grammar in poetry when I said I still don't care. Just to refresh your memory I had said that I felt a certain freedom with poetry where I don't have to be confined to the technical rules of the English language. You of course heavily disagreed and that was our little argument.

Of course I will take your criticism into consideration...I in NO way feel that my poetry is above being criticized. I do believe that your strange misinterpretations of my comments however, are where the problem lies. I never made any hints to your wife being a "a sick Islam-baiting skankwhore. Where you picked that up from I don't have any idea.

In my replies to you I was not defending myself in anyway I was trying to turn the mood from your angry, defensive, and blatantly hurt response to a more peaceful one. I was not being sarcastic if that is what you thought. I never had intentions of fighting with you zodiac. Or speaking badly of Islamic Women.

Once again you have been oversensitive and did not understand the tone of my responses to you. I am sorry you felt I was defending myself or attacking you. I was doing neither.

So will you accept this and may we move on.....Or shall we be destined to run around in circles until we both run into walls?
