My apologies
Being in a group
It’s like a bowl of soup
But if you don’t try it, you’ll end up out of the loop.
I can’t be mad
I can’t be blue, it’s a rule
But forgive me if real life takes precedence
But answer me this, amuse me, bring me bliss
Whatever happened to cordiality?
If I haven’t responded, let me know the rule
Even if it’s posted, what’s so hard about a reminder?
Don’t they even do that in school?
I know, I know, we’re all adults and should know the score
But more and more
All Poetry, like MySpace, 360 and Multiply
Is turning into a bore of cliques, clichés and clusters
Of conglomerated controllers,
Designed to constrain the very captivation of this corner
With that said,
I apologize
To anyone that I’ve offended
To anyone whose groups I’ve neglected
Feel free to remove me at your leisure
I won’t have a seizure
And I certainly won’t post another piece
Like this one
I’ve had my fun
But real life is the one true piece
That’s worth writing about
In other words,
It’s not that deep
The only thing I could give a true *bleep* about
Is the clout that I gain through real life
And the strife that truly makes me grow as a man
Certainly not the aborted, self-aggrandizing plan
Of any woman, boy, girl or man
Within the matrix known as the world wide web
I apologize
Oh, and PS….
I really thought your group was different
But with all my might, I hate NEVER being right
About things that ultimately make me see the aborted light
Of the groups of All Poetry.com
Spare no details, tell me exactly what you think about this ....

With all due respect, I had to click on this poem. Everything you write is true. So many writers are addicted to this site. They have their own little groups, their favorites to comment on, some have been here since the onset of the site. apologize? humph! No need, dear man. I love to write when I have the time. Your rant was something I have always felt, but couldn't quite get the nerve to pen. Glad to find a fellow writer, who is willing to ante up his 2 cents!

LOL!!!! I see you never got a comment on this! LOL! I thought it was brilliant and I loved the flow. It was honest and to the point and you shouldn't be shunned because of it. We do have lives outside of this site. It's the ppl who don't have lives that can't grasp that concept. So I understand your apologies but can relate to your plight. Keep Writing!!!...I had to bookmark this one.
