You are predominantly an attention whore
and only one quarter non-expectant
and you can't fully comprehend
the benefits of constructive criticism;
just peanut gallery ass-kissing sessions,
until you can see only your own shade.
And I can leave empty appraisals
upon your pages, to fill moments...that fade.
I am only one eighth compassionate
and yet, ever so slightly sure
that wings are heavy with only your own weight,
that etches its existence within your ego
and dances in the darkness of done-again dilemmas
that scar superiority within your tiny mind--
sliding slowly inside insanity's ideals
that you so carefully confine.
I am one hundred percent knowledgeable
of your undying urge to be "simply-the-best"
while you climb rhyme-schemes of little hope
and fall down endless ladders of featured glories.
I deliberate your poetic prowess
and laugh scornfully at your impossible dreams...
and yes, I'm the one who mocks you
when you omit failure's silent screams.
Your words are a man-made mission
of minute memories...many months passed,
classed to most as merely as worthless
as the amassment of vacant claps.
Your pride hides behind your arrogance
and the ignorance you implore,
as you coat vanity in tarnished breath
whilst strangling muse at its very core.
Talent never sang, nor lived through you
nor the lists that you loiter upon
and no one cares a shit for the bile
you choose to scribe across the page.
So now I ask, that for health's sake
you remove your over-featured kill
or on your pages and in your face
this frustration shall surely spill!!
You are predominantly an attention whore
who collects comments in mile-high glasses,
nodding quite confusedly
at pretention's stupid fucking smile.
There you stand atop all others
as you fornicate with fresh-faced notions--
to be supreme...by such measured views,
worshipped only by your own devotion.

Ha, this was pointed out to me due to a conversation I had with a fellow poet about the feature whores who's only reason for featuring is the silly clappies and their rightful imagined place at the top of some very rarely used list. There are a couple of poets I could relate this to although only one who would warrant the blaspheming of his self-proclaimed perfect poetic prowess.
Very well done, I say we go click them all and just leave a pile of 
on their poem.

well idont know what to say so i guess ill start with its good very emotional and well seems like your just really pissed and i do hope you get over it but you should hold to much to the shit people write,anyways i do like it anything that expressed so much emotion is good
-
-
This was written with dry humor and much laughter...I'm glad that others see intense anger in it though because that means I was able to portray different emotions to the ones I was feeling whilst writing and that can only be a good thing.

-
Excellent
A very good write, indeed. You have expressed your thoughts quite well. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
-
I love this, such flow, rhydem and passion for insulting the person! This is a masterpiece of insultment.
Tho, I do feel the poem is a tiny bit too long and I lost the interest in the end as you repeat yourself a few times, but still a bloody good poem.
Keep on the brilliant insulting.
-
each man is every man's asshole.. lol
i find this too long just for a hate poetry.. and i agree with jackysunshine are u talking about general writers or a specific.. from your write i felt specific.
newyas your write is nice and strong and stands to become a good L'Arora -
Different but well written from the heart. Would be all the better without some of the harsh words. Wasn't sure whether it was all writers you were trying to put down or someone in particular. Stay centred my friend.
-
this is a savage blow at a writer i think and boy how small you made them feel i enjoyed this angsty write take care
-
loved this. so vicious! hahaha. i cant say i've read anything like it before. not sure exactly if it was geared towards writers? sounds like it. anyhoo, loved it.
-
This is a wonderful piece of work. I really felt this way towards someone that was like a sister. I walked in on her in my mans lap months ago, And I got this pissed off. So yes I can identify with your anger. Woderful write from the heart.
-
L.O.L.
DAMN! you have enough viciousness throughout this entire piece to easily be a player/warrior in the word warz! l.o.l. excellent my friend, remind me not to tick you off!
-
BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
I absolutely loved the f..k outta this!
You said a mouthful to more than a handful.
The whole damned thing is my favorite part.
I'm just pissed I didn't write it.
"talent never sang nor lived through you, nor the list you loiter upon." TOUCHE! I could sit here all night telling you
how I feel what you have written but why? You already know it.
-
lol.. I'm sure that at least one out of every 5 people on this site has someone they feel this way towards... (did what I just say make sense?
lol) anyway you did a really great job expressing yourself thats for sure..lol. thanks much for sharing

Oh boy! I love it and you say it so well.
-
This was a very interseting read. Nicely done. I also enjoyed the flow and your great wording. look foward to reading more of your work.
-
That was quite amusing =] I wish I had the audacity to write such a thing...hahaha. Kudos!
-
-
I think I might write a poem titled "A Dog's Life Ended When He Poured White Wine" and see if I can amass 1000+ applauses from over 500 clicks on Featured...maybe then I'll be classed as a "good poet" despite the size of my non-existent penis...one can consider herself as "normal" then when compared to the egos here
Hmmm...I have some nerve huh?

You could've been generous and awarded me the points for the inconvenience caused

Well crafted, you never cease to amaze me, love John
-
I so love when you rant. You do so in such style!
I love it!
-
Bravo! Well said! Splendidly written and right to the point! Best of luck.

Very interesting write. It appears that someone got your dander up. I am sure we all have negative views of different people. This is written devastatingly well.
