The New Year

My dear dear Critic2,
I notice that you are hoping for a return to poetry here and that the trolls be ignored. My dear fellow, YOU are the troll! You cannot see this? It was you and you alone that started this. You entered here full of yourself, harshly criticizing every effort while posting nothing of your own nor giving any credentials to justify your arrogance.
Then the contest. You posted the majority of poems and we discover that you are nothing but a wordsmith. With the utmost respect for LaurieAK, your CD hotel registered very high on the cringe meter. The payoff was not worth the journey.
Then we discover that all of your offers to help were equally shallow. "Just experiment." and " Maybe it will work, maybe it won't."
Balderdash.
So you see, your critic persona is a sham. You are a poseur. This forum will only be fun again when you realize that you are not all of that and curb your tongue. You may hold court in your personal life but here it is you that is the lead in what has turned into a really bad after school special. Keep a civil tongue my boy and all will be well.
Now, the days are passing and I still see nothing from you. Surely you can produce something of substance! Come now, lead is into a new year with a rousing search of the soul. You can do it. Try.
