The more poems I read on this site
some I merely glance at
because something
a word, an expression
twisted syntax
tells me this person
is not fascinated
by words and the way
they combine
to invigorate
the reader
and make a poem
other poems irritate
because somehow
it’s like a plumber
you hire to fix the toilet
and he doesn’t know
the difference between
a pipe wrench and a plunger
so he exasperates
the consumer
how does that differ from poets
who post verse that lacks
everything a poem
should possess
except an impassioned belief
that only emotion matters?
