A boy got accidentally blown up by a landmine, He was from Africa or something, He tried to file an official complaint, But he didn't have a leg to stand on!!!

I find it hauntingly poignant that you chose to post this on September 11th, the very day on which the Events of September 11th took place. 10.

You should teach him how to stand on his face, 'professionally', like you do.

You have made three glaring errors:
a)The boy in the poem is merely fictional, and therefore incapable of acquiring knowledge or skills.
b)You have confused the expression "To stand on ones's face" with the action of actually physically standing on one's face.
c)I never claimed to write poetry for a living (though I of course could do if I so chose). You can't just make a word into an insult by putting it in inverted commas.

As always, you have failed to appreciate the many levels of complex, inter-twined emotion in my poetry.

I have misunderstood nothing. Also, your grasp of archaic English is amateurish at best.

Your comments are so hurtful that I'm considering giving up poetry for good. I hope you're pleased with yourself, Mr Cheese, if that is your real name. I have no more to say on the matter.
