So much animosity seen recently. A sonnet for the New Year. Will you please read?

Question

So, this is the way the year will end;
Not in harmony but in base abuse.
Still, to all Yap poets and friends I send
New Year's greetings, and I suggest a truce.

Oh, let there be no more nasty put downs,
No more sycophantic covens of dills,
No more incognito comments of clowns
And no more sick grandstanding, just for thrills.

And while I am on a roll, I must ask
There be no more pathetic muzak rhymes
Designed to confuse but also unmask
The heights one will climb to commit word crimes.

But, I do fear, all that is dear, is lost,
As many regulars set out to be crossed!

Answer 1

Libby, while you and I are not contacts, you have shown me ways by suggestion and with respect I say or hope the same as this presents. It has become wearysome to me, and while I don't engage in what negatives are said, it causes an ache, in that I know some who can put up very valid poetry, haven't been doin so lately.

Answer 2

Hi, this may be something u want to not read, it is really raining tonight, I took some acting sometimes, sometimes I feel like Rambo lost in the rain trying to catch a possum and feed the

possum he turns and runs away like a whiz. I want to feed the possum because they rely on people to feed them, they eat people food, they like pancakes my cat was terrified after seeing a possum for the first time! Peace.

Answer 3

''Look at all the times one tiny bud has turned into a unfolding flower, with each day one poet becomes richer in colour.. there will always be some who will put you down this is because they feel threatened by a poem that takes poetry into a new dimension, and leaves them confused.

it's called jealousy it's the root of all that is evil in this world we live in ..

have a nice new year L ..

Answer 4

Dear Libby, I fear that it's wishful thinking,
