Many times, I’ve read poems <br />where the author <br />has resulted to swear words <br />one after the other <br />to get some point across. <br />The problem is their work <br />then seems vulgar and cheap <br />and I stop reading their work. <br />With a little thought, <br />they could use an alternative word <br />and that might even brighten <br />up their work. <br />It just makes you grit your teeth <br />and go Grrr <br />and then under your breath say <br />“You silly stump hole.” <br /> <br />9 July 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-silly-stump-hole/
