Writers want
to be published,
recognized,
lauded,
applauded,
generally have their egos
over inflated,
so when,
scaly-skinned editors,
coiled behind
P.O. Boxes,
sink viperous rejection
into the shins
of their
latest creations,
they’ll have enough left,
to send them out again.

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

grandma bessie always said you could never fill a child's bucket too full because there's always someone wanting to poke holes in it . . . guess the same holds true for poets :)
great way to put it
(though i confess that i'm low on ego stamps at present - or maybe just idle) :)
Eric, did Grandma Bessie say that before or after she'd say I was her favourite grandchild? :)
Pat, about this poem: you are oh so bitter. But you sure know how to write!:)
another great write!
Yikes! If I was one of your cockers I'd be on best behaviour (at least for for the next day or two). :-)
Pass the anti-venom serum please! I'm afraid I need a whole bunch.
hey pat, this is a really cool poem..
and i have to say i agree with u...
i want my ego too.....
I'm so glad that everything that I write is published....on my blog page. I eliminated the middle man.
:)
great poem pat! You're quick witted, to the point, and a good writer. I like that.
great stuff, pat!
I like this one --- we all have those days!
I think it's that some of them (editors) seem to think it's esential to be rude. I don't think there's ever an excuse for that.
Thanks everyone!!!
