THE ANGRY MAN

Angry Reviews.. Why?

This reminds me of a commercial .. A man sets up a beach chair.
He appears to be completely alone on a tropical Island.
Then, out of nowhere a second man places his beach chair next to him.
The irony of the commercial is you can never get away..

When I review its usually in response to a review.
It seems like the polite thing to do.. I review my reviewer.
My reviews are mostly my impression of the writing style and story.
If it is a poem .. I might include my own poem.

Most of my reviews are received positively.
But, there is a general retort, "What does this have to do with my poem?"
As I said I am giving my response to your poem.. I do grammar and spelling exams.
Nevertheless, I get angry reactions to my earnest reviews.

I do apologize ... If this upsets some sensitivity in poets.
As an example, I reviewed a story about a broken hearted jilted lover.
I recalled being rejected at the prom and later getting together with another girl.
I suggested finding a happy ending..
The writer did not like my review and thought it was vulgar.

When you write you must prepare yourself for rejection and vulgarity.
I reviewed a poem that was a series of alternating numbers.
I saw numerology in this piece and wrote about algorithms for people.
This writer as banned me from his site.
I truly thought I was giving a positive review.

The first time I saw the Mona Lisa in my high school civics text book;
I thought it was a painting of a man.
Mr. Sullivan said, "Some art critics think it is a self portrait
of Leonardo Da Vinci."
I was right!

I apologize again..
I like reviews.. Especially the Christian reviews on my lack of faith.
Sometimes WRITERS.COM feels like a revival Bible site.
I think the Bible is a record of ancient alien encounters.
Eziekel's Wheel reads like a UFO abduction.

Have I offended the Christians?
Turn the other cheek.
Do you like a spanking?
Relax enjoy the caravan of fools at the Cabaret!
Peace out!
