Description
Once I happened upon a callow young lass,Who apparently thought that it was cool to be crass.
And she turned her tongue upon the profession of writing;
Apparently she felt that it was in need of a smiting.
Though her raving and ranting made very little sense,
She seemed to be taking a rather harsh stance.
Apparently her pain was too great to be understood,
Far beyond the comprehension of this man from the hood.
So I stood there in swagger, clad in my bling.
While she behaved like 'Moon-Moon', in search of a thing.
She spouted some nonsense, some far fetched line,
About never idolizing the keen writer's mind...
...Aaaaaalrighty then,
If that is the case, then why ape my technique?
Why submit to several galleries; is your brain on the leak?
You are writing to be seen; you seek attention as I do,
What are we if not performers, is that not true?
Did you believe that you could use your past as a shield?
It counts, I'm afraid, for nothing, I feel;
For you see, I'm a killer, as bold as I dare,
I care not if you scream or if you tear out your hair.
And if you are offended, I'm sorry I swear.
I was under the impression that your soul was bare...
...Now if you please my dear, it's quiet time I beg,
Or should I quoteth the Griffon and say, "Shut up Meg."
-Chen Yuan Wen, 24th July 2013

How is the one that you reference a critic if all they can think about is hatred? If they want to go to visual arts, let them. Or they might hate that as well.
Very well done and I hope that your voice spreads like a certain substance that people use on toast.

I would recite this when my mother or step mom and dad criticism that I write too much and do everything else too little or that it doesn't make enough money but it is long and I am lazy.

"There was this - human-like thing - that posted some poem"
'Or should I quoteth the Griffon and say, "Shut up Meg."'
And your emotions, i'm positive the same happens to me at least 10 times each week.
I idolize writers, and I'm glad that you do too. I hope that individual will get a taste of their own medicine and realize how much more writing has to offer after taking a gander at this fabulous work of literature.
A good job well done!

Wow.....it's funny how that person's attempt to 'end' poetry has instead inspired you to write this poem, which, by the way, is brilliant. Nice try, person. Nice try.

WordOfChen In reply to HijikataToshizo [2013-07-25 15:45:44 +0000 UTC]
Well no they weren't trying to end poetry, specifically they were quoting someone who said 'Never be a writer' and they made a poem out of that. So this is the counter to that x'3
Besides, I highly doubt anyone could end poetry for me xD

Haha, woah now, that might be a little harsh of a judgement. Though apparently someone told me she'd been doing worse than just writing. If I get proof that there is a misdemeanor going on, then I might step it up to the next level.
