Poet Laureate Corner


"You blew it"
The man said to himself
While checking another meaningless book out of the library
And then went on his way
Still - needless to say - full of self-love.

(Ricpic ...Our Poet Laureate)

I don't know. It sort of fit.

Okay, I get your point....but still!

I'm tellin' ya, ricpic, if you want control over your poetry you gots ta git onboard the SS Laureate before it sails. Others may not show proper respect to your art.

Also, think of the residuals!

It's not like if I don't publish I perish! I mean these are all post-mortem effects anyway (cryptic, always cryptic).

I've always wondered if Zippy just sat around waiting for people to take pictures of him because he thought he was so gorgeous.

A poser, that's for sure.

a person who pretends to be someone they are not, or a person who attempts to impress others.

Yeah, I read once you write something it is out of your control, and society can do with it what it will. Related to Critical Theory, maybe.
