I'm sick and tired
Of all the things that I see
Just shoved into the
Poetry category.
Your spelling is atrocious;
Grammar is just a myth.
There's not any punctuation
Or even a capital to begin with.
Let's start on spelling
Because it's a big problem
Whenever I see D's
In the word "bottom."
And when their and they're is confused,
Don't get me started on two, too, and to.
The worst of all if it is, though
When I see "you" as "u."
As for your grammar,
I've nothing to say
Other than if a verb is missing
Something's gone astray.
Don't mix tenses.
It only makes me confused
When I see future and past
And present all equally used.
Without a single period,
Heck, even lack of comma,
All you've done is created
One big run-on.
It doesn't make any sense
When you don't capitalize the first of a line.
Even worse than that is you don't value
yourself enough to capitalize the word "I."
Do you see a problem?
And that's just the beginning.
Just wait until we get into
The rhythm and rhyming.
A paragraph is not a poem.
Please do not make it so.
All it does is tell
the lack of what you know!
As for rhyming,
I know not all poems do.
But, please, get this into your head,
Let me offer you a clue:
Even if it doesn't rhyme,
It should at least flow.
That's where rhythm comes in,
To make the poem go.
Poetry is to be read
Without any thought interruptions.
Words should fly off the page
Without confusing corruptions.
Due to lack of time put in
Or even thought, I dare say,
That most of these were written
A twelve-year-old's way.
Without any effort put forth,
Whatsoever.
Just to say you did it.
I say you can do better!
Get off of your lazy butts
And write a GOOD line or two.
I promise that it won't
be the death of you!
If you cannot take my critique
Then don't even write.
I'm sick of people complaining
Whenever I give advice!
It's not just the writers!
I also blame the users
Who say those who make these critiques
Are nothing but losers.
You guys, more than anyone,
Really need to get a clue
On what STANDARDS are.
Here's my advice to you:
Rate and comment
On the high quality works,
And ignore those
Where the writers have shirked.
Also, another little hint
Don't you ever let topic,
Or subject matter,
Tell you how good it is.
Because great works are great
No matter what it's about.
For those who think otherwise,
Please get out.
Well, I think
that's all I have to say.
I guess I'll rant to you all again
On some other day.

Description:
A rhyming rant about Gaia's "poems". This was written on the top of my head over the course of about thirty or so minutes. If I, of all people, can whip out a flowing, rhyming poem, then so can you if you consider yourself a writer. Please and thank you.
(For those who actually rhyme a response, good or bad, points to you. =3 ) - Date: 11/29/2008

Finally!
I've been looking for this;
A poem that doesn't drive me insane.
Reading poetry where people,
Don't even use their brain.
Your poem tells the truth,
of that I am sure.
So much better the the other poems,
I have had to endure.
I hope they take your advice,
I know I will too!
Your tips are really good,
More people should listen to you!
Haha wow. Sorry. I felt like writing in poetry. XD
That wasn't very good, because I came up with it in only a few minutes. =/
