I was going to post this in Original Fiction, but it's not really fiction. To those who have been posting poems recently, allow me to mention that I am a published poet (see "Closer to the Stars" thread). The reason I don't post more poems here is because technically this counts as publication, and magazines want to have first time publication rights. So, I've managed to find a song/poem not good enough for publishing, but good enough to use as an example of rhythm consistency and extended metaphor.

Wow, that's obvisously your poem. It's either sarcastic or pesimistic. Or even saddly/bitterly realistic. Nice work.

Exactly the reaction I go for on most of my poems.
