A Happy Poet Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

Actually Michael, you have got loads of talent as a poet..perhaps you could work on your communication skills? ....just a thought....10/10 for this angry one! ! *dc*...why do I feel I'm gonna get grief? ? Hey Ho....whatever...

Don't know who Dream Catcher is, but his/her advice is spot-on...You just don't have any respect for others, or their work, be it to your liking....(which based on all your 2007 comments, it appears that less than 1 % be to your liking) or the other 99% that you seem to thrive on deriding, and making every effort to look foolish in the process. And it is in this area, with your mis-placed arrogance, that you can actually be considered an accomplished writer. Pity is...if you placed your penhant for acute wit, and originality in insulting the majority of the people on this site, that you read, and re-directed it towards witty & or contraversial poetics, prose or essay(a la my old & PH banned friend Danny Reynolds) ...perhaps your bitter would at least improve to bitter-sweet.Hey, its' your call...it's a free world...you let me know publicly how wasteful(dross, was it?) you felt my work is, ...I'm merely exercising my TRUE opinion. You do have talent...Your work cannot be considered 'dross', (and if i really thought it were, i would address my opine via private message) ....However, your attitude can & is....but thats just my private opinion, for the public to view.Be Well & Good Luck, Michael...sincerely.

Thank you for this poem... I get the sarcasm here, I am working on the irony... can it be that you think yourself talentless, yet you keep on writing...? I however give you a 10 for the talent actually lies on the not giving up in life... and for keeping on regardless of what others think or say, you deserve a 10.

you do have talent... you have knowledge and skill, i've seen it in your other work and also your comments. look forward to reading more of your poetry

A rabid but rich realism that is refreshing.

I'm not good in English....but I think this poem is very ironic........., but it is a good poem

Profound perspective my freind.

I like it a lot =) very true

I see you've touched a nerve here. I propose in future we should call ourself poetry-bloggers; perhaps there would be less tittering behind the curtains then?

I have equally understood this
