Sometimes I wonder what it's like <br />to be you - eagerly seeking out <br />new poems of mine and of some others, too; <br />triumphantly scoring them a 1, <br />or if they're scored already 10, <br />then, zap! it's down to 5.5; <br /> <br />or if it's already so enjoyed, it's scored two 10s, <br />zap! got it down to 7.0... <br />have a go at this one, while <br />it's still unscored... <br />the superscription calls it 'user rating' - <br />how can you rate it when you've haven't 'used' it? <br />just abused it? (You'd score it 0 <br />or -10 if they allowed it...) <br /> <br />what really saddens me is that <br />you can't distinguish between <br />a bad poem and a bad poem about goodness.. <br />so when you 1 my next poem, does that signify <br />the narrowness of my mind, or of yours? <br />Sometimes I wonder if you write <br />poetry of your own; and whether <br />your poetry improves, or worsens, <br />as you demote on your own private scale, <br />the poems of others...? <br />Now that's a serious thought.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-one-who-ones/
