I hate when people 
pompously pick apart poetry.
I know it's their interpretations,  
but I think what they're really thinking
is quite simple,
and they embellish in a pathetic attempt
to connect to the poet.
If you don't connect to a poem, 
find another one,
write your own.
If these readers could simply, honestly reflect, 
they just might contribute to Poetry.
Poetry is nothing if not real.

      Well...this one is also well done! But, the words you wrote are not only true about the written word, they also apply to the spoken word. I can't stand when people pick you words apart and move them degrees away from your truth.

      We gotta get you published!!!
