MY FAVORITE POET WILL ALWAYS BE ME!!!

Infinite Dot Universe: A Spoof This rhyming poem was inspired by Arthur Vaso. It's about a poetic form, and just so you know... these lines are being written just as a silly spoof because some of my poems can be called a goof! There's a new form called, "Infinite Dot Universe" No, there really is not. Writing this, I feel perverse because you see, I'd never tout my own poetry. That would expose a definite lack of my humility. The gist is that a person's favorite poet should be him or herself. A bit like the haughty, Vivien Leigh who thought, "Everything should be all about me." If things didn't go her way, she'd say, "Fiddle dee dee!" I digress and must confess this notion of Infinite Dot. Perhaps instead of dot, let's rename it what it's not. I think a narcissist would consider it more of a dote claiming a masterpiece with each poem he/she wrote. I have favorite poets, and one among them is not ME! I wouldn't choose those I'd think special in PS. No siree! That would be like saying who is worthy and who is not, like the flawed Universe poetry form called Infinite Dot. I know the first verses are nonsensical to say the least, but they serve as a sword to slay an insensitive beast. It's all "Much Ado About Nothing," I would tell a troll who thinks he's of some importance. Ha! I took a poll.

Ha I totally agree with your poll Lin, (no one, is greater than the sum) here on PS, now if we had to have a contest about the greatest deleter on the soup, well there’s only one winner (or maybe loser), I had a nice goof reading your spoof, cheers David

Admin usually takes the wrong side. Live with it or leave seems to be their mantra. They take the $

Hi David. You're in fine rhyme form today. I counted you among those polled since you're in 'the know' about trolls. The throne belongs to King Deleter who waves his pen as if it's a scepter of truth. Pshaww. More of a whiner than a winner and def a loser. Those words I'll never delete.

You make many poets laugh, Jan so I'm happy to know this one reciprocated in some small way. Hugs.
