The Barred Bards

1

A roguish band of bards2

were banned from site AP3

The reason they were barred4

Is explained quite easily.5

One poet said aloud6

“In her meter she has erred7

That subject’s not allowed!8

And your rhymes aren’t well prepared.”9

Another of his friends10

said a poem left him un-awed11

instead he said the author12

seemed boring, slow and odd.13

The last unlucky poet14

said a poem he’d gladly alter.15

But the poem in question twernt his own16

But a newbie who had faltered.17

They aired problems on the altar18

of rhyming verse critique.19

but this wasn’t college writing class20

but a poetry boutique.21

    Flawless, as usual.

    Dear Jenny,

    Well it seems that all my writing
    Has all those faults you list
    And in any case, whate'er I write
    Gets everybody pissed.
    So I will just keep silent and
    Not say another word.
    I'll stick to memorising 'coz
    I am the self-made Nerd!!

    A good write with great homothingummy examples! I applaud it!
    And now I discover that homophones aren't what I thought they were at all!! (Will you two guys get off the line please?)
    Good luck in the contest, hun.
    Love and hugs, XXX Hugh.
