The Reasoning

[Wildcard]

Mark,IT DOES NOT NEED TO RHYME! It does not need to have meter, it does not need to have metaphor, it does not need imagery,

You said it needed to rhyme, not me. I am just asking you to explain why you think a poem needs to rhyme?

it does not need to exhibit any if the recognised ( argue by who if you wish) attributes of poetic endeavour. It does not need correct punctuation, syntax, or competant word use.

a) punctuation is something I have done in other cases but felt that this poem was better suited to an ambiguous style

b) and as to my competent word use, would it be too much to ask which words aren't competent enough for you?

I needs nothing if that is what you want to post....but then, why post it?

I posted it in order to get feedback on it. Why are you attacking me for that?

You are, as I said months ago, a better poet than you realise. Leave it as is. Go home happy.

I certainly want to be a better poet but the comments you make are so vague and negative that I am doubtful they could ever help me.

"give in to effort"

"use competent wording"

These are not helpful things to say. I do appreciate your time, but explain why the wording is incompetent and why you think the poem needs a meter or rhymes.

If you only hurl your vague thoughts at me, it will only serve to frustrate us both.

Cheers.
