for my critic...
Making showy monuments
or building bouncing rhyme;
No matter what the contents
It is tossing out your time.
Force your schooling overturned,
And spatter it on the masonry;
Scribe one stanza, let it burn
Emotion into memory.
Your rhymes must hold some enmity
To cater to the room,
Else ne'er all posterity
Will know your verse from doom.
So unless you write of love long lost, or let other dolor arise,
Your low-grade work with well-wrought words will not enrich their eyes.
(Adapted from Not Marble Nor The Gilded Monuments by William Shakespeare)
Revised 10 December 2002
[Basically, the assignment was to use the end-words from another famous poem. So I did... as an attempt to make fun of one-track minded critics. Especially ones that believe every poem should be about "lost love or pets or likewise issues".]
