Bradford Middleton writes


HE AIN’T A POETRY MACHINE, HE’S JUST NOT VERY GOOD

I follow one of them on twitter,
A damn social media, mainstream published
Poet who last week was writing so damn much.

Twenty tweets a day he’d post whilst i
Could barely raise the enthusiasm to do anymore
Than 3 and all of mine were about punk
And madness and a little of my writing but
Every single one of his said,

And i’m obviously paraphrasing here,
‘Don’t come near me i’m a poem machine
At the moment.’ he then claimed he’d
Written two that day, well this is
Already my third of the hour so now
You know why i despise them.
