Like fingernails on chalkboard
bad spelling will make
contest host from hell’s sword
lay waste, poem in it’s wake.
If you don’t mind disrespect
from such literary abuse
then your spelling please neglect
setting your dogs of war loose.

Let all bad spellers Untie LOL

Ah, the poor spellers revenge. You got it. I hate to have to muddle along with the spell check. Thankfully my new program corrects everything for me as I go. Saves a lot of time, but it hasn't got any artistic allowance. Simply doesn't understand the new words I make up.

besides, spell check doesn't know the difference between the words too, to and tow ... er two. It's we who are supposed to know.

Oh man i totally agree...some are too damned concerned with spelling and punctuation to actually pay attention to the piece written.
I LOVE THIS. -

This is a great poem, but what do you mean by it? I think I know, but I want to make sure. I liked it, but sometimes a person can be so tired, they might end up misspelling a word or two or three because of it, you did a good job on the poem, keep up the excellent work and God bless you in all that you do and write and please message me letting me know what this was saying so that I may not get the wrong idea.
