To My Critic - Wise and All-Knowing

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Naive, innocent me...
Never fucked
Not once rapped
Never made love-
What a poor ass poet I make.

Young, unexperienced me...
You can't call what I do living-
Never smoked a joint
Or tripped on acid-
Never been arrested.
What a poor excuse for I poet I am.

Lacking intensity, true emotion...
My poems lack
Any true attraction-
Hollow, I believe
That's what you called them-
Nothing worth reading,
I believe I didn't mis-quote you.

To you
The only honest person
I believe you called yourself-
I hope I put enough whining in
And lack of literary intelligence
So you wouldn't be disappointed
In my inferiority.

Reason for writing:

    To my gracious critic.  Thanks for that LOVELY e-mail..hope this was everything you thought it would be.
