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.

I love your abrasive machismo approach. It truly fits well into a debate. No, the editor comment was not worth debating, although I did not change the subject. I kept to it. It is simple fact that not all of the editors of literary magazines, pub houses, general interest magazines, and the like are lacking talent as writers. I used Gordon Lish as a primo example and thought you might find the article amusing, considering what you call "common knowledge" is the fact that he is quite a brutal editor. I cannot vouch for your Ms Peabody (again I dearly apologize for her giving you the boot-although it is a daily occurrence with you, you still have my utmost sympathy). You ranting and raving and swearing every which may makes you sound childish and ignorant, and your underlying threats are quite pointless. You have taken this route before and although I do believe it befits you, it makes me think: 1) as much as you go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how you are doing this and that face rejection every day, you raction show something different. You make no sense. Therefore, what is the point? You know it all. You always have known it all. You have to let me know just how important you are and all the people you deal with, but seem to have little to show for it. I suggest if you have not already, light one up now, because as much as you would like to thin to the contrary you are not showing me anything in the way of intelligent conversation. Again, my sincerest apologies for the rejection, I hope you have more success in the future.
