Fairy Tales
Fairy tales are airy tales.
Would that they’d be true.
But hap’ly ever after
is a lie.
Ask Goldman, author of
_The Princess Bride_,
to tell you what he knew
became of Buttercup
and her lovely Wesley lad
before they died.

I loved this! Thank you
You are quite welcome. But I'd be grateful if you'd tell me what it is about this submission of mine that brought you to love it. That is to say that while I appreciate applause for what I write, I'd prefer critical analysis of it so that I know what it is in terms of this piece's style, imagery, language, and meter that I should hold onto (or avoid )in composing new pieces.

Is this a poem? Do you mean that it is a poem? You should write over it: THIS IS A POEM. Then readers will know your intention.
"Is this a poem?"
Why would you think that this piece of mine is not a poem?
"Do you mean that it is a poem?"
Are you asking if I intended my piece to be seen by readers as a poem and not some other form of literature?
""You should write over it: THIS IS A POEM. Then readers will know your intention."
Leaving aside the fact that in my posting my piece to a poetry site, my "intention" about the nature of my piece is already clear and needs no such labeling for readers to know what it is
I think that this label is something that is far more suitable as the heading of every submission of yours to DUP (not to mention the other vanity sites that you post to).
In any case, I wonder if you realize that you have just insulted the intelligence and the perspicacity of Anonymous who sees my piece not only as a poem but a delightful one. According to you, he is wrong to have done so and has shown in his evaluation of what I wrote that he lacks critical discernment.
