You, An Actress
December 28, 2011
You, an Atheist, embody the
values of the Three Wise Men,
and though you wish they were
called Plato, Aristotle, and Vergil,
they remain futilely nameless,
idle like the Carpenter, himself
You, an anti-feminist, embody
the values of the women in my
life. Not Roosevelt, Clinton, and
Friedan; You resemble Maria,
Rosa, and Amalia. It's your
mental heritage, pendeja.
You, an anti-pragmatist, embody
the values of your illegitimate
children. Not Oprah, Castro, or
Hercules. Time-wasting, pita-
eating, boring piece of s***.
Delphinum natare doces.

I don't need to know you, you've put yourself on display in your poems. The real question is, am I wrong?

How was I being rude? by pointing out something that i found lacking in the poem? isn't that what comments are for? polite criticisms in an attempt to help the poet write a better poem? if anything, it would be rude to disregard such a comment because it doesnt fit what the poet wants to hear from the reader, due to the fact that they would only hear praise. here i was thinking that this website would have a more mature target audience then Devart or Tumblr, but i guess i was wrong

I think this is a really great poem and I think it was very mature. I don't know who FantasticFox is, but they're quite rude.
