Alas Woe

...classic. Mate, short and sweet and entirely amusing....suggest you check spelling and punctuation, and hope you have more than this in your quiver to talk about, but as a one-piece wonder, certainly not bad.

thank you
but does poetry need to follow the rules

Depends....do you want to be good, or shit? The choice is that simple. The best writers, in any genre, follow the rules, even when they are breaking them....readability does not change.

thank you it is appreciated

I enjoyed this. I love Nascar too. Favorite car is the M&M car.

My advice to you, be who you are and write with your attitude and spirit only. Your personality is what makes a poem come to life. When the critics come, move them aside. Gail

You Really mean SHRUB, Kyle Busch?
Ya critics are critical.
Thank You.
