What do you think of my flawfully rhymed poem?
Wielding Words
by Elaine (10/14/10)
Wield your words as whip and sling,
Choose the hardest, roundest rock,
Aim it at the poet’s heart,
As of peace and love he sings.
Use your hatred as your strength,
All your bitterness unlock,
Swing the sling with hatred vile,
Face the giant, come on, start.
Oh, you missed, now try again,
Try it with an ink-filled pen,
Wear it down unto its nub,
Then go and cry alone.
No thumbs down from me.
Michael, I wish I still trusted people enough to let them email me privately. No one "took a swipe at you." Both are poets and philosophers and mature adults. They were speaking to you from an adult point of view. They never meant to be 'mean' to you in any way.

Words are only words in the end Elaine, are they not?
Your friend Richard, and Humpty took a swipe at me on his question. But it's all water off a ducks back. It's not worth getting upset or worrying about. I ain't gonna block Richard or Humpty and ask mean questions about them. I'm above that. I'm here because I enjoy poetry. People are always going to clash, and have differing opinions.
Richard wasn't happy with how I demmanded a certain answer; that's fair enough. I was being a bit picky I'll admit. We are only human afterall, not one of us are perfect. Just gotta move on and live and let live. That's all I can say. Peace.
Nice pen from you.

If it's flawed it's done so perfectly.

I didn't see this as flawed or pointless and have been in the target zone many times.
Every stanza works for me but this one is what I'm gonna cling to, even as a mantra.
Oh, you missed, now try again,
Try it with an ink-filled pen,
Wear it down unto its nub,
Then go and cry alone.
