No, I'll never be famous.
My less than voluminous
correspondence says: Thanks
for the socks. Congratulations
on your whatever. Please find
my cheque enclosed. Hardly
worth tucking away in an
attic or bottom desk drawer.
The famous seem to anticipate
the condition. Exercising their
gift of prescience, they conduct
a precocious correspondence
from an early age with natural
magpies. It smacks of some
arcane conspiracy; a gratuitous
stakeholding for the biography
industry. A symbiotic ‘noblesse
oblige' we ordinary mortals
will never understand.

This is good. It smacks of some arcane conspiracy. Well done.

Fresh, intelligent, well written with good use of metaphor and sarcasm. Really, very well done! Probably one of the most mature poems I've seen on Yahoo. Your word choice was very sophisticated and your command of the language made the point of injustice all the more real.
Again, well done!

I thought it an interesting self evaluation. I believe that it is the poet who defines a poem. Listen to constructive criticism, let negative roll off your back. Practice, practice, practice...or rewrite, rewrite, rewrite. The results from time and involvement show/make you who you are. If you are meant to be a poet (famous or not), it will show in that involvement.

Another what? This is what I call musing. It's jolly good musing with fatalism, acceptance and humanity. Makes me think you might be an entertaining chap, for those with a penchant for the morose like me.

Dear Editor: I am thrilled to ....... and I love your poem.... I too am an ordinary mortal from an early age. Brilliant!
