I was an English major, I am a PUBLISHED poetess, I know the good from the bad and your poetry is worthless. You told me that I " needed " a diversion, which YOU decided was your badly written, nonscanable, mess of a sacarine," girly " poem. You aren't even in the " hack " class.

Your arrogance is only surpassed by your abject lack of talent and your presumption; not to mention you total lack of manners.

You wouldn't know manners if Fred Astaire tipped his cap to you.

Critics are a dime a dozen.

Excuse me for forgetting briefly that you are impossible to be civil to.

The sentiment of the poem is what impressed me, and there are no "girly" poems! Some of the greatest poets have been very sentimental. Both my parents died this past year and his poem brought them to mind. It was nice of him to share it. You could post some of yours. I've had some published, too.
