Can you believe this piece of shit was #1? (Free verse) by horus8

I was once on the best list, but then I proved you all fucking wrong by writing this. Think about that. Now I'm cool again, on poemranker. I go door to door & sell Avon A solicitor, A smiling wholesale artist. Sometimes, late at night, I think of my poor naked poems being lashed and mounted. Forced into #1. That's when Faith saves the day. She rides in on a miniature painted pony with a disco jingle background. Wearing a Victoria's secret get up, Just to shove a ten right up my ass. Somehow convinced I possibly could give a shit. Thank god, she's not blind anymore, etc. Tomorrow, I was thinking about selling my soul to the devil in return for knowing the true identity of all pronouns, always. That, and a monogrammed hand towel collection in peach, and burnt umber. That says, "Broccoli, Poetry, Dysentary, Murder" But some how shortened and more poignant Like sex with your weak hand and a toothbrush that part times as your keyboard-cleaner/hip hop-medallion. Why? Why? Why! Was I so hard on shit poets? Because... Chewbacca needed Han Solo to translate. I think that pretty much sums up what I think about voting Lobbyists, and your idea of Democracy. So take a good look at yourself, The next time you get the urge To form words and judge with that gash in your face substituting for a mouth.

Look, I am sorry Ms Peabody (Whomever the fuck that is) rejected you. But get used to it, because it is going to happen and again. And every time it happens is not because an editor doesn't have the ability to write the genius that comes from your pot infested mind. So get over it, and get used to it instead of sounding like an L.A. crybaby. Work harder, write better. Listen to your peers. I sent that link because I thought you would genuinely find it interesting, but now I realize that others' literary musings mean nothing to a star like yourself, who in a sense is a brick wall when it comes to anything in the way of valid criticism form writers more established than yourself. It is a problem rampant on the site and you are the blind leading the naked. Most of these people do not want any sort of criticism (whether harshly or gently). They do not want to get better. They just want praise for the shit they post. End of story. A quick ego boost of instant gratification.

Furthermore, instead of having anything valid or intelligent to say about Mr. Lish you simply go into a defensive posture, which puts you on the same level as your kid. Grow up and maybe so will your writing.
