Array ( [sid] => 21043 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Poetry.Con [time] => 2003-07-26 21:25:00 [hometext] => I was reading in the Forums about poetry.com, and thought i'd write what I think of that particular site here on YPDC :) [bodytext] => STAND ASIDE! I wanted to say
International Poet of Merit coming through!
But then I delved a little deeper
And found out it was a scam, a pile of poo.

I'd won a bowl on a rosewood base
And a medallion with 25 inch ribbon
But then I read some other talents
Which must have been written by a gibbon.

They wanted hundreds of dollars
For a trophy I had "won"
And even more to publish me
They really are a poetry.con

They said I was a real talent
Winning this a real feather in my cap
But they said this to everyone else too
They were liars it was all a load of crap.

I will submit this poem to poetry.com
Saying they can all go to hell
But the ultimate irony of that is...
I bet this damn poem wins as well! [comments] => 8 [counter] => 263 [topic] => 25 [informant] => outsider [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Wonderfully humorous, but sad write! These people don't care about a poet's heart.
They don't care if they pull them apart!
As I said on the other site...
I called my attorney, no go,
Then I called the Attorney General....
What they are doing is just all right!
I sent all their junk back to them...
Isn't there someone we can befriend...
Our congressman, Senator....
We've got to stop them....this has got to end!
Dirty Crooks without hearts that's where it all starts!
GRRRRRRRRR
