Don't Chastize a Poet

Contributed by norm on Saturday, 22nd November 2003 @ 02:48:25 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



We're a close knit body of some poets on the move,
It's our life experience that we write about to prove
We were other than asleep as our lives were passing by,
We write about those things that were catching to our eye.

Those who really lived, can write about a tome or two,
Those that pussy footed, write a little bit of goo,
The hero and the genius can write no less the whole day long,
The results are beautious poems that you can sing just like a song.

Chastize me nothing, your life was not like mine,
You were in your diapers when I climbed the Appinine,
The Parthanon and Pantheon were places where I played,
And later tried my luck at Monte Carlo much afraid.

There is still a bigger difference now between your world and tears
I have lived these many years while you are wet behind the ears,
If you can catch up, over take me, then it's time to hear you out,
Until then, please consider, you don't know what you're about.

I can't imagine why ***** was placed before
footed. The term ***** foot means to
walk softly...nothing unseemly about it

I agree totally Norm.Usually if I dont agree with the writer..I will just move on.My dad is 80 years young and I think he is the fountain of knowledge..and he is to me but he always says.."Sharon,I may be 80 and have been through and seen a lot in life but I am still learning.
I think him more the wiser again for saying this lol.
Not a person in the world should judge the person behind the words just because they didnt like the write..Good on you for speaking up about this.Well Said!!

great poem Norm, and I agree with you completely.
in other generations perhaps, we use different words than they use today, but why be cencored anyway. That's one of the greatest freedoms we have in the USof A....
I can't image why yours was sorted out!
Perhaps it would be best not to have these montors running about!

Great write, Norm... and so true.... I do the same as Whispers..I just walk on by... and I do agree with the old adage that AGE BRINGS WISDOM.... (That's why I'm so smart...lol..just kidding)
By the way...I don't think that it was the monitors who censored your work BUT the filter system in the program. In fact, I am 99% certain of this. And maybe the monitor/moderator realised this after seeing your comment and fixed it...
Regards,
Jenni
